A. The recovery period after a TCA peel will vary according to the strength of the peel. Patients receiving a 10% TCA peel can expect a recovery of about two to three days, while patients receiving a stronger 25% to 35% TCA peel can expect a recovery of about one to two weeks. During recovery, some throbbing, tingling, swelling and redness can occur, and a crust or scab will form on the treated area.
