A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The purpose of a chemical peel is to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and other blemishes.

​

Chemical peels come in different strengths and types, including superficial, medium, and deep peels. Superficial peels, which use mild acids like glycolic acid, exfoliate only the top layer of the skin and require little downtime. Medium and deep peels, which use stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid, penetrate deeper into the skin and require longer recovery periods.

​

Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, and hands, and can improve the appearance of a range of skin concerns. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional before undergoing a chemical peel, as they can help determine the most appropriate type of peel for your skin type and concerns.
