How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Light Glycolic Peel?

Different strengths of peel will determine how quickly you recover and how soon after you can do another session.  On average it takes one week to recover from a mild peel, and one to two weeks to recover from a deeper peel.  We typically recommend a series of four to six peels every four weeks to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, visible skin imperfections, and visible signs of photodamage.  Remember to always seek treatments done by a reputable aesthetician supervised by a physician who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures.  All the best,

This really depends on the strength of the glycolic acid peel. Some very weak peels require minimal if any recovery other than moisturizers and avoidance of sun exposure.

Chemical peels are usually very safe and help improve the tone and texture of the skin. On average, it takes about 1 week to heal from a superficial glycolic peel and 1-2 weeks from a medium depth peel.
