Can I stop the chemical peeling treatment without going for a second session...?

Angel_123Aug 13, 2018
I did a chemical peel three days ago. They asked me to revisit after two weeks and also need to do about 6 or 7 sessions. I cannot still see any peeling process in my face. But the skin is tight a little and shiny a bit. What kind of a peeling treatment they have done on me? Can I just stop the treatment without going for a second session..? I am 23. Wii there be any side effects if I do so?
