The goal of a chemical peel is to improve the appearance of the skin. It involves applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes it to peel off, allowing new and healthier skin to form in its place.

Chemical peels can be used to treat wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, age spots, freckles, and acne scars. Depending on the type and strength of the peel, the results can range from mild exfoliation to dramatic skin rejuvenation.
