What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are non-invasive treatments that use a blend of acids to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, revealing a fresher, more youthful appearance beneath. By removing dead skin cells and promoting cellular turnover, chemical peels can improve skin texture, tone, and overall clarity. Each type of peel is formulated to target different skin issues, from mild discoloration to deep wrinkles.
