What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The depth of the peel depends on the type of solution used and the length of time it is left on the skin.
How does a chemical peel work?
Chemical peels work by dissolving the top layers of the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which results in the production of new, healthy skin cells.
