What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove dead and damaged skin. After the peel removes one or more layers of skin, new growth replaces the old skin. This fresh, young skin eliminates problems and gives you stronger, healthier skin.
What skin problems do chemical peels treat?
Chemical peels safely treat a wide range of cosmetic problems. You may want to consider a peel if you need help with:
- Dry skin
- Red skin
- Acne
- Acne scars
- Age spots
- Melasma
- Clogged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough skin texture
- Sun-damaged skin
- Fine to moderate lines and wrinkles
You won’t get all these results from the same chemical peel. There are different types of chemical peels ranging from superficial to deep, and the one you choose determines your results.
