Healing takes one to two weeks. The sun must be avoided. Deep peels are done with an acid. The new skin grows back in seven to 10 days. Again, the new skin is pink and sun must be avoided for the same amount of time as with other skin peels.
Results are less predictable, and there is greater risk of scarring and loss of color.
Glycolic and beta peels are applied for several minutes and then removed. These must be repeated six to 10 times. They are effective for treating skin texture or tone. We have no information about the risk of keloid production. For this, you should seek the advice of a dermatologist.
