What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath. It works by applying acids, such as glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid, to the skin, which helps to remove dead cells and promote new cell growth.

Chemical peels are effective for addressing a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture. They stimulate collagen production and can improve the overall appearance and radiance of the skin.
