Chemical peels work by improving and smoothing smooth facial skin that shows signs of wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, superficial scars, age spots, acne, freckling, and sun-damaged skin.
While there are several types of chemical peels, the most popular chemical peel is the AHA (alphahydroxy acid) chemical peel.
Alphahydroxy acids are often referred to as the "fruit acids". These chemical peels are used to rapidly remove the damaged layer of dead cells from the skin surface. This action stimulates healthy growth of new skin cells, reveals fresh undamaged underlying skin, and results in a healthier appearance.
