What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a carefully formulated chemical solution to
exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers of skin. As the skin heals, new, healthier skin emerges—
improving tone, texture, and overall appearance.
Chemical peels are commonly performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and can be customized to
target a wide range of skin concerns.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by accelerating skin cell turnover. The solution gently dissolves the bonds between
dead skin cells, allowing them to shed and stimulate regeneration. This process helps:
Improve skin clarity and brightness
Reduce discoloration and uneven tone
Smooth texture and fine lines
Unclog pores and reduce breakouts
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial (Light) Peels
Gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin
Minimal downtime
Ideal for mild discoloration, acne, and rough texture
Medium-Depth Peels
Penetrate deeper into the skin
Improve moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation
Recovery may take several days
Deep Peels
Target deeper skin layers
Used for more severe sun damage and wrinkles
Longer recovery time; performed less frequently
Your provider will recommend the appropriate peel based on your skin type and goals.
