A chemical peel, also known as chemexfoliation, uses a chemical solution to improve the appearance of your skin. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to your skin, which causes the cells in skin’s layers to dehydrate and shed. The skin layers eventually peel off revealing more youthful skin. The new skin is usually smoother with fewer lines and wrinkles, has a more even color and is brighter in complexion. Chemical peels serve as prep for laser and microneedling treatments to promote skin health.
