When the old skin has peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin which has a smoother texture and more even color. Most people take 5-7 days to heal from an average The (Easy) TCA Peel. During the healing process there is no pain, but the skin looks as if it has mild sunburn. Therefore, most patients choose to stay home during this healing time. However, if you are not too self-conscious about your appearance you may be able to work during part of your peel.

During this time it is very important to protect the new skin with sunscreens, hats and the avoidance of strong sunlight.
