A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate its outer layers. This process promotes the shedding of dead skin cells, leading to smoother, rejuvenated skin. Chemical peels can vary in depth, targeting different skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. It’s important to consult with a qualified dermatologist or licensed professional before considering a chemical peel to determine the best option for your skin type and concerns.
