A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves applying a solution to the skin to remove its outer layers. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat issues like acne scars and sun damage. The strength of the peel can vary, with options ranging from light to deep, depending on the desired results and skin type. During the procedure, the solution typically contains acids such as glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid. After the peel, the skin may be red and sensitive, requiring proper aftercare. Results can include smoother, brighter skin, but multiple sessions may be needed for optimal effects.
