Question:
I just had my first TCA chemical peel and loved the results. How long do I need to wait before I undergo the next one?
Answer:
With a lighter TCA chemical peel, in the order of 10-15%, they can be repeated every three-six months. Deeper peels that are used for more stubborn and deeper wrinkling and sun damage are in the order of 25-30% and it is best to wait approximately one year before additional peels are considered. Typically, deeper peels also have a much more lasting result, generally in the order of many years and for that reason it is not necessary to have an additional peel in the first few years.
