Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin which eventually results in peeling of the outer layers of skin. The new regenerated skin is softer, smoother, and has a more even texture. Fine lines and wrinkles may also improve. There are many different chemical solutions used for chemical peeling.
Different solutions result in different depths of peeling.
The deeper the peel the better the result, but the risk is also greater. The results achieved from a chemical peel depend upon the agent used for the peel. Chemical peels are used to regenerate the skin. The regenerated skin is softer, smoother, and has a more even texture. Fine lines and wrinkles are also frequently improved with medium depth chemical peels.
