"Chemical peel" is a general classification for a number of chemical treatments used to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. Typically during a chemical peel nothing actually "peels" off. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, and works by dissolving the upper layers of the skin. As the tissue is dissolved, a wound is created on the skin which stimulates the body's healing response, causing new tissue to emerge. The depth and strength of the 'peel' varies based upon the strength of the chemicals used and the length of time the solution is applied.

What can chemical peels treat?
Chemical peels are a good way to remove the dead skin cells and improve the efficacy of other treatments. They are also used for photo-aging, such as age spots and wrinkles. Chemical peels are also very effective at improving acne and acne scarring. They are also very effective at exfoliating and smoothing the skin, as well as improving the texture of the skin.

During a peel the chemicals can act as an anaesthetic so there is little pain but there is usually a stinging sensation.
