A chemical peel is a form of exfoliation that uses a mild chemical solution to remove dead skin cells from the top layer of skin. Treatment time for a chemical peel can take from 30 – 45 minutes and the peeling process can last anywhere from three to five days after. During the peeling process, the dead skin cells shed or flake off, eventually revealing fresh, new skin underneath

Chemical peels can be applied at different strengths depending upon a person’s needs and skin goals.

Benefits of chemical peels include:

1. Improving the skin’s color, clarity, tone and texture
2. Reducing discoloration caused by sun damage
3. Helping to clear up breakouts
4. Smoothing away the look of fine lines and wrinkles
5. Addressing visible skin imperfections and superficial scars
6. Enabling skincare products used at home to be more effective because a peel can remove several layers of skin build-up and congestion, allowing products to penetrate deeper into the skin
7. Removes old, dead skin, stimulates new collagen and healthy skin cell growth, resulting in a radiant complexion

A chemical peel is often used as part of a treatment program for hyperpigmentation, aging skin, scarring, or acne.
