Its four days after a medium strength chemical peel and my skin isnt peeling. I had a light peel a couple months ago and i peeled. I'm calling the dr today but why arent i peeling? My skin didn't even become red. I felt the solution stinging my skin but nothing now.

Answer: I didn't peel after a medium strength chemical peel at the office I suspect that you skin was not cleansed of oils or the topical numbing cream adequately and as a result you had minimal penetration of the peel solution. Essentially the result was a superficial peel where you cannot even see peeling. The other possibility is that the peel solution used was not a medium depth peel solution and therefore the results were not as predicted.I recommend you call the doctor and discuss what could have gone wrong and once the skin is back to normal have it redone if you have faith in the physician or request a refund and go elsewhere.This is why it is very important to seek a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to perform your procedures rather than a physician who is just working at a spa, etc.Best of luck to you and the good news is the only harm was probably time lost and your wallet.

Answer: Peel results can vary Thank you for your question. The success of the peel is not always related to the amount of visible skin peeling. The condition of the skin at the time of the peel can alter the degree of skin flaking. You can still see improvement in overall skin texture, tone and pigment without visible skin peeling. I am glad you are speaking directly with your doctor who can discuss this further with you.
