What are chemical peels?
Chemical peels are a method of resurfacing the skin by inducing a controlled wound to the skin. They remove the top layers skin to help induce collagen remodelling and therefore improve sun-damage, pigmentation, wrinkles, scarring, and the overall appearance of the skin. The strength of the chemical peel will determine its depth. Deeper peels will have a greater of complications and a longer recovery, but also will result in a greater improvement in the skin.
