Peels remove the outer layer of skin allowing the collagen and dermis layers to rejuvenate.
As we age, our skin sheds naturally. If the skin that is shed is not removed, it can affect the underlying areas, forming deep wrinkles and furrows in the epidermis. The specific formula is adjusted to each patient's needs once you have discussed this with your plastic surgeon. The mildest peels are the alphahydroxy acids. These are also called glycolic peels, lactic peels or fruit acid peels.
