Chemical peel is a skin care for anyone who had skin with fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scarring, dark spots, and post-acne hyperpigmentation. It is a skin treatment that improves and smoothens the surface of the facial skin. Today, it is becoming a core part of skin care as it helps in removing the top layer of the skin that allows the dead surface skin to peel off. Going through this process leads to the growth of new skin.

Categories in chemical peel

There are three different types of chemical peels, namely superficial, medium, and deep peels, and each of them is categorized as per the strength they carry. This also varies in how deeply it penetrates the skin. For instance, the deeper peels take greater recovery time.
