Depends!: The safely depends on your skin type and type of peel. Most aesthetic peels are mild fruit acid peels that are repeated every 30-45 days, which is how long it takes to regrow a new layer of dead skin cells. You will not accomplish much with more frequent peels. Deeper peels are repeated less often. Find a physician skilled in skin care for specific recommendations!

Peels are safe: Micropeels of any sort can be repeated monthly because they are very superficial. A minimum of 8 months should pass before a repeat deep peel. Mid-level peels can be repeated every 4-6 months, depending on the peeling agent and how deep the peel went in the mid-level of the skin.
