Paul M. Parker, MD, FACS · Answer

Obtain a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist near you in order to be evaluated and discuss options. The reason for the peel, strength and depth of the peel will all affect your healing time as well as anticipated results.

Lawrence Kass, MD · Answer

More than any other factor, it depends on the depth of the peel which was done.  Even the deepest peels usually re-epithelialize within 10 days of the procedure and by then, you will see improvement already although there will be continued improvement over the next 6-12 months.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Re epithialization after a chemical peeling takes on average 14 days. But is dependent upon the type of pee;ing, the depth applied, your medical ski  history, etc. Best to discuss with your peeling doctor BEFORE having the peel done.
