A chemical peel is a process that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin and removing the top layers. The regenerated skin is smoother. Chemical peels are typically used on the face to remove wrinkles, damaged skin, and scars. They can be done on their own or in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments. They can also be done at various depths, ranging from light to deep. Chemical peels that are deeper in depth produce more impressive results, but they also take longer to recover from.
