How Long Does It Take for Skin to Finish Peeling After a TCA Peel?

Asked By:peete in cincy

I did a 20% TCA peel 4 days ago. So far the only peeling that happened is been around nose and mouth area but nothing on the cheeks & forehead. How long does it take for skin to finish peeling after a TCA peel? I can see the top layer of my skin as I move my face but it just stuck on my skin and not peeling.

Answer: It usually takes a week for the peeling to be complete - then it takes a week to fully repair.
