How long do the results of a chemical peel last?
The duration of results from a chemical peel varies depending on factors such as the type of peel, the depth of treatment, and your skincare routine. Generally, superficial peels may require multiple treatments to maintain results, while deeper peels can provide longer-lasting improvements in skin texture and tone.
