It involves applying a solution to make the outer layers peel off and make the skin look at its best.
There are three varieties of chemical peels available. The light, medium, and deep chemical peels. The decision is based on the particular issues and intended outcomes.

Understanding exfoliation
How does a chemical peel work?
A peel treatment involves applying a chemical solution to remove dead skin cells making the regrowing skin look smoother. You might need to have a light or medium peel more than once to achieve the desired outcome. Peels are used to remove scars, wrinkles, and discoloured skin. They can be done with other cosmetic treatments or performed alone. And they can be carried out at varying depths, from shallow to profound. Although they produce more dramatic effects, deeper chemical peels require longer recovery times.
The doctor will cleanse the skin and may require topical anesthesia before the procedure. They may also require sedation for deeper and more abrasive chemical skin peels to ensure that the patients are comfortable during the process and then a chemical solution will be applied to the skin leaving it for a few minutes to start working on the epidermis layer. A light stinging or a mild heat sensation may be experienced. The doctor will remove the solution and apply a cold compress to soothe the treated areas right after the procedure.
