Chemical peels are treatments for the face, hand, and neck which address various skin problems. Using a topical chemical solution, this method sheds off damaged skin cells and reveals healthier skin underneath.
The cosmetic procedure uses a chemical solution applied on the skin’s surface to peel off its top layers. After exfoliation, the skin reveals a smoother surface with lesser skin imperfections.
Depending on your chosen procedure, you may need to undergo a series of chemical peels to achieve the desired result.
There are various types of peels that address different skin issues.
Gentle chemical peels are available for people with mild conditions. There are also more intensive types of peels that perform deeper exfoliation for severe skin conditions.
