Chemical Peel Process
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. Facial skin is mostly treated and scarring can be improved. Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin. To accomplish this task, the chosen peel solution induces a controlled injury to the skin, resulting in wound healing processes that regenerate new tissues.
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure. Depending on the issues you’re addressing, you’ll choose the chemical peel that is right for you in one of three depths:
- Light chemical peel. A light (superficial) chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis). It’s used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, and dryness. To increase it’s effectiveness, you might have a light peel every two to five weeks.
- Medium chemical peel. A medium chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and from portions of the upper part of your middle layer of the skin (dermis). It’s used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. You might need to repeat the procedure to achieve or maintain the desired result.
- Deep chemical peel. A deep chemical peel removes skin cells even deeper. Your doctor might recommend one for deeper wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths. You won’t need to repeat this procedure to get the full effect.
Precautions

- Avoid the sun, tanning beds, sweating, exercising, hot baths or showers, scrubbing, picking, and rubbing, all of which can lead to scarring.
