Healing after a TCA chemical peel
Published on August 30, 2012 by Kyle Choe
Question:
How much time will I need to take off work for a physician strength chemical peel? I don’t want to go back to work until my face looks 100% normal. Does the peeling/healing process hurt?
Answer:
TCA 35%-40% peel is performed usually by a physician under intravenous sedation. This type of peel is an excellent way to remove sun damaged spots and superficial lesions on your skin. The procedure is not very painful and most patients do not need any pain medications after the procedure. You will need 7-10 days to fully peel and ready for make-up.
