Chemical Peels are one of several ways to improve a damaged surface layer of skin on the face. There are a number of issues that can contribute to surface marks and cause sun damage, acne and acne scars, fine lines and creases, uneven texture or rough spots, etc. Chemical Peels work by peeling off that outer layer surface damage to reveal the fresh, new skin beneath. There are different strengths of chemical peels and the “strength” of the peel reflects how deeply it penetrates into the skin. So, light chemical peels would be for more superficial issues and would not penetrate as deeply–this also means recovery time would be much quicker and the results more subtle. Most people start out with lighter peels even if they eventually advance to a stronger peel.
