A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of skin. This process improves skin texture and tone, helping to reduce issues such as acne scars, sun damage, and fine lines. Depending on the type and strength of the peel, patients can experience varying levels of exfoliation, from superficial to deep. The recovery time varies, with superficial peels requiring minimal downtime, while deeper peels may involve a longer healing process. Results often include a brighter complexion and smoother skin.
