The aim is to improve the appearance of the skin.
Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, discoloured skin and scars.
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. Facial skin is mostly treated, and scarring can be improved. Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin. To accomplish this task, the chosen peel solution induces a controlled injury to the skin.
