chemical peels
Skin-dissolving treatments
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that apply acidic solutions to the skin, causing controlled damage to outer layers so they peel away and reveal fresher skin beneath.
Peels range from mild (using alpha hydroxy acids) to deep (using phenol), treating wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation: She gets a chemical peel every few months.
