It depends on the type of peel.. I usually recommend yellow peel.. It is a very safe exfoliating peel. It can provide good improvement in tone and texture of your skin in 3-4 sittings.. It take 3-4 days of downtime..

Treated areas take about seven to 14 days to heal after a medium chemical peel, but redness might last for months. After a deep chemical peel, you'll experience severe redness and swelling. You'll also feel burning and throbbing, and the swelling may even make your eyelids swell shut

Chemical peels are of different components and strength. Each has it's own duration of downtime. 

the procedure itself takes just 10-15 minutes

Mild peels cause some dryness but no peeling of skin as such. Effects are visible in 3-4 days

Medium depth peels cause removal of outermost skin in layers and this process continues in the first week.

Deep peels are not advisable in indian skin type per se. So decision has to be individualised. 

In any case you have to take appropriate sun protection measures like sunscreen,  moisturizer

There are different types of chemical peels and each one have their downtime. There is Party P which gives instant glow without any downtime. Then there is lactic peel which is very mild and may have some scaling or peeling for 4-5 days. Then there is salicylic peel, glycolic acid peel, more active peels like TCA Peels which have even higher downtime. On an average most of the peels will have downtime of 3-5 days.
