Which Chemical Peel Is Best For Me?

A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. You may need to undergo the procedure more than once with a light or medium peel to get the desired results.

Chemical peels treat wrinkles, discolored skin, and scars, usually on your face. They can be done alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures. And they can be done at different depths, from light to deep. Deeper chemical peels offer more-dramatic results but also take longer to recover.

What Are Some Helpful FAQs I Should Know About Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure; be aware that chemical peels can’t remove deep scars or wrinkles or tighten sagging skin.

Depending on the issues you’re addressing with the procedure, you’ll choose a chemical peel in one of three depths:

Light chemical peel. A light, superficial chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin. This treatment addresses fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, and dryness. You can choose to have a light peel every two to five weeks.
Medium chemical peel. A medium chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and portions of the upper part of your middle layer of skin. It treats wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. You might need to repeat the procedure to achieve or maintain the desired result.
Deep chemical peel. A deep chemical peel removes deeper skin cells. Your doctor might recommend one for deeper wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths. You won’t need to repeat procedures to get the full effect.
