how long does it take for chemical peel to heal?

How long does it take for chemical peel to heal

Dr. Daphney Antony

Aesthetic Dermatologist

Answered on 13th June '24

Depends on the the peel and the strength of the acids in the peel. Depending on your issue, a superficial or medium-depth peel would have been chosen by the doctor. 3 days in case of gentle peels and up to 3 weeks for stronger peels. Rare to see a downtime beyond that but varies according to circumstances.

There are different types of chemical peels and each one have their downtime. There is Party P which gives instant glow without any downtime. Then there is lactic peel which is very mild and may have some scaling or peeling for 4-5 days. Then there is salicylic peel, glycolic acid peel, more active peels like TCA Peels which have even higher downtime. On an average most of the peels will have downtime of 3-5 days.

Chemical peels are of different components and strength. Each has it's own duration of downtime. 

the procedure itself takes just 10-15 minutes

Mild peels cause some dryness but no peeling of skin as such. Effects are visible in 3-4 days

Medium depth peels cause removal of outermost skin in layers and this process continues in the first week.

Deep peels are not advisable in indian skin type per se. So decision has to be individualised. 

In any case you have to take appropriate sun protection measures like sunscreen,  moisturizer

Treated areas take about seven to 14 days to heal after a medium chemical peel, but redness might last for months. After a deep chemical peel, you'll experience severe redness and swelling. You'll also feel burning and throbbing, and the swelling may even make your eyelids swell shut

Im 5 feet 7 inch tall and i want to gain at least 4 inchs is it possible

Male | 25

Gaining 4 inches in height after reaching adulthood is highly unlikely and practically impossible through natural means.. While there are surgical procedures like Limb lengthening that can increase height artificially, they are highly invasive, expensive, and carry significant risks, making them an unsuitable option for most people. Moreover, 4 inches of heught increase cannot be gauranteed.
