A chemical peel is a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. Facial skin is mostly treated, and scarring can be improved.

Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin.

To accomplish this task, the chosen peel solution induces a controlled injury to the skin.

Resulting wound healing processes begin to regenerate new tissues.

The dead skin eventually peels off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

​

There are three main types of facial chemical peels: superficial peels, medium depth peels, and deep peels, each serving a different function and able to address a variety of skin conditions.

​

Superficial peels are the lowest concentration facial peel and are best for reducing the appearance of fine lines, addressing acne, and brightening and hydrating the skin. Most superficial peels are safe and effective for all skin types.

​

Medium depth peels can be used to treat skin conditions, such as hyperpigmentation, melasma, age spots, and actinic keratosis, as well as address deeper wrinkles and acne scars.

​

Deep chemical peels have the highest concentration of exfoliating ingredients and may require some downtime. Deep chemical peels should not be used on patients with darker skin tones.
