How much pain is associated with the peel?
For most chemical peels including the Alpha Hydroxy Acids AHAs (Glycolic acid), Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), and the Beta Hydroxy Acids BHAs (Salicylic acid), there may be a few brief minutes of a strong burning or tingling sensation on the skin which will quickly subside before the end of the procedure. With a deeper peel using a phenol acid, there may be pain afterward for several days or weeks throughout the healing process.
