A skin peel is a treatment that uses chemical solution to resurface the skin by removing dead skin cells and stimulating growth of new cells. A chemical peel treatment involves the use of varying strengths of acid to break down the top layers of your skin. This reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Chemical peels are also used to improve the appearance of acne and general scarring, pigmentation and freckles. Following a skin peel, you can expect skin that is tighter, smoother and glowing in complexion.
