A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove damaged outer layers, promoting the growth of new, smoother, and healthier skin. The depth of the peel, ranging from light to deep, determines the type of chemical solution used and the extent of skin improvement and recovery time. Chemical peels are used to treat various skin issues, including wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, scars, acne, and uneven skin tone, most commonly on the face, neck, or hands.
