Is 50 Percent Chemical Peel Safe?

jackie23
Hello, I have an appointment next week to have a Chemical Peel. I've already seen a licensed RN and she said, she's gonna perform a 50% Chemical peel.She told me I won't peel, she said its not the strong kind, but I'm uncertain, I can't be out of work for a week, should I tell her I need something less than 50% and my acne scars are not that bad, but I've noticed that I scar easily and don't heal as fast as I used to. What should I do?
