A chemical peel does not always produce peeling, but may still produce results. I would wait 7-14 days, and if you do not see a results, go back to your MD to re-evaluate. Best, Anita Gill MD

Skin is not getting peeled off even 4 days after chemical peeling.Typically when you do a 20% salicylic acid peel you may lightly flake. You may not get a huge amount of peeling at all. It honestly depends on how dry your skin is and how long the peel was left on for. Kindly go back and seek the help of the doctor that did this procedure for further clarification.Good luck, Dr. Downie.
