A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure in which a skin-safe chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture, tone, and appearance. With varying peel depths to address different skin concerns, it eliminates the outermost layer of skin, resulting in the regeneration of new, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Good candidates for a chemical peel typically have specific skin concerns and conditions that can benefit from this treatment. They include individuals who:
Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin's surface. Acids like glycolic lactic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid, which are present in this solution, dissolve the outermost layer of aging or damaged skin. The amount of exfoliation depends on the depth of the peel. A smoother, more even complexion is the consequence of the old skin peeling off, which encourages the formation of new skin cells.
Chemical peels can treat a number of skin issues, such as sun damage, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles, and acne scars, leaving behind skin that is renewed and revitalized.
