A chemical peel is a solution applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells.
The aim is to improve the appearance of the skin–for example, by reducing age spots and evening out skin tone.
What is a chemical peel? A chemical peel, also known as chemical exfoliation or derma peeling, uses a chemical solution to improve the appearance of your skin. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to your skin, which causes trauma or injury to your skin’s layers. 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 colour, and is brighter in complexion.
What conditions does a chemical peel treat? Chemical peels are used to treat certain skin conditions or to improve your appearance by enhancing the tone and texture of your skin. Chemical peels are most commonly performed on your face, neck, or hands. They can help reduce or improve:
- Fine lines under your eyes or around your mouth and wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging, and hereditary factors.
- Certain types of acne.
- Mild scarring.
- Sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, uneven skin colouring.
- Dark patches (melasma) because of pregnancy or taking birth control pills.
