The peeling time can vary significantly depending on the type of peel and strength of application. A Glow and Go Peel which combines well with dermaplaning has almost imperceptible downtime. Medium depth peels that treat uneven skin tone and fine lines can cause peeling for up to a week. The most aggressive phenol peel which treats deep lines and acne scarring can cause significant healing time for several weeks.
