Hello! I would not be concerned at all. We recommend receiving a series of 4-6 chemical peels every 4-6 weeks. If you feel it is too much for your skin, we recommend between peels you can do a Hydrafacial to keep up with exfoliation and still get beautiful results. Best of Luck! Dr. Julia Spears MD

Hello! Congratulations! Now, this depends on what type of PCA peel you are receiving.
