Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a skincare treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layer of skin and promote new skin cell growth. The chemical solution is typically made up of a combination of acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), that work to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores. Chemical peels can help improve acne by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, which can help prevent breakouts from occurring. They can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars by promoting new skin cell growth and improving skin texture and tone.
