No, depends on depth: Generally no. Peels, when done right, are safe. The depth of a peel determines how much of a result you expect. Deeper peel=better results but higher risk. More superficial peels can give less impressive results, but have minimal downtime and low risk. See a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with peel experience to discuss the results you want, the risks, and expected recovery.
