JSL, this might sound like a cop out, but I don't want to give you any false information or deter you from the right path you're currently on. The truth is it really varies from person to person. I suffered from this for a total of 20 months and it took 7 months (meaning after 14 I decided to leave them alone) to heal. It starts to feel better before it looks better. Progress is slow and it often seems inconsistent or even regressive at times, but one thing I can say is that bad looking peels are usually followed by good results. Good luck and I wish you all the success you deserve
