A variety of skin conditions may benefit from a chemical peel. The new skin that grows will have a healthier tone and texture because it has more collagen than the old skin.  A chemical peel is a good option if you want to fight early signs of aging because a light peel diminishes fine lines and removes uneven skin color.  Light chemical peels may also help treat dry skin and acne. Deeper peels can reduce or eliminate acne scars and diminish deep wrinkles. Inflammatory skin conditions, like acne and rosacea, often cause the skin to darken. This darkening, called postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), can develop in anyone, but those darker skin are more likely to be affected and have a severe case of hyperpigmentation. The team may recommend a chemical peel to treat hyperpigmentation.
