What is a chemical peel? 
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution placed on the facial skin to remove the damaged outer layers of skin. These layers of skin become damaged due to age, sun damage, or other factors. A chemical peel produces results which tighten the skin and smooth unwanted fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure also improves the appearance of the skin’s color, providing an evener texture and color. A dermatologist performs a chemical peel procedure in their office during a procedure lasting around 30 minutes. Different types and strengths of chemical peels provide different levels of results.

What can I expect during a chemical peel? 
Before your chemical peel, your dermatologist will talk with you about your expectations and wishes and tailor your treatment to you. You will lay on an examination table and your doctor will cleanse and prepare the skin for the chemical solution. After placing the solution on the facial skin with water, your doctor lets it sit for an allotted amount of time before rinsing the solution from the skin. After your procedure, your face will be red and may sting. However, these side effects will resolve themselves after a day or two. Follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions exactly to avoid complications or lengthened healing times.
