Usually patients are peeling or flaking the 5-7th day after a tca peel and then after 7 days they are just pink which makeup covers very easily. Prescription cortisone creams such as Triamcinolone 0.1% twice a day and a good spf are a necessity. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
From treatment to Full return to natural skin color with a single pass TCA 15% peel with no pre-peel solution and one pass using a cotton swab with light compression on skin that is hydrated, moisturized, and well nourished, one usually would see this transition in 5-7 days. Notice all of the conditions above, because they do matter in better predicting the healing time of your procedure. Also different areas of the face will heal faster and tolerate more "controlled injury". The cheek tolerates more passes (or a higher strength peel) than the eyelid skin, due to the thickness of the cheek skin and the higher concentration of pores. Mineral makeup works well for camouflaging redness (using green undertone), and is usually not associated with germ contamination, especially if fresh. I hope this helps, good luck. M.Lyons, MD, FACS
