Any possibilities of me going back to work 5 days after a hetters peel. I don't see the public.
The chemical peels developed by Dr. Hetter are croton oil based peels, and they can be used at many different dilutions. The main thing which determines the duration of recovery is how deep the skin is peeled. It's important to note that croton oil peels are potent enough to give great results, but they must be used by doctors with appropriate training and experience. These peels are very different from the much lighter chemical peels performed by aestheticians.When performing a deep chemical peel (deep enough to improve substantial wrinkles, skin texture and skin discolorations), it takes the face 10-14 days to heal enough so makeup can be applied. Before that time, the face looks very red and raw appearing, and it must be kept covered with ointment to prevent it from drying out. There isn't much pain or other recovery, but it is not a good look...most people do not feel ready to go out until they can wear some makeup. Therefore in answer to your question: for most people getting some work done at home 5 days after a peel is feasible.
