I went in once a month for six months. She said I should wait at least 3 weeks between each peel. The second time I went, I had a few scabs crop up over the next couple days that lasted about a week. It covered with make up but it looked like scabs covered with make up. The last couple treatments I had a few very small areas (maybe the size of a pin head) that scabbed, but they weren't noticable. It just looked like dry skin for a couple of days.
I had the dermabrasion each time, as well. The only time my skin was tender was during the treatment. It feels like your skin is being rubbed with a small peice of sandpaper. It's not horrible but you can definately feel it. Afterward, I was not sore or tender. I felt a little raw for a few hours, but I wasn't afraid to put on make up or wash my face or take a hot shower.
I have seen the pics on this website of people who had really strong chemical peels and I don't think I would want one of those. I liked streching it out over six months. I am still very happy with the results. In fact, I kind of miss going every month.
