Recommended Interval in Between TCA Peels?

Doing a few 15-20% TCA peels around the eyes do great for fine lines or 1 peel of 30-35% TCA also ($350 each). The recovery time is 1 week with all TCA peels. The first day you look like you had a sunburn, then the next 2-3 days, the dead skin getting ready to come off turns dark, then the 5th -...
