Chemical peels rank among the most popular and effective medical spa procedures to rejuvenate your skin. The chemical face peel treatment involves the use of an acidic solution to gently remove the uppermost skin layers that contain dead or damaged skin cells, harmful bacteria, and other debris.
When this top layer is removed with a chemical peel treatment, it will be naturally replaced with a smoother, brighter, and less wrinkled renewed layer of skin. Depending on your needs, your medical spa expert may recommend a light, medium, or deep peel treatment.

How does a Chemical Peel Work?
Chemical peels can take years off your face. The med spa expert will apply the custom prepared chemical solution to the affected areas of your skin. The solution will penetrate into the topmost skin layer, causing it to exfoliate and gradually peel off.
Once the old skin is peeled off, it will trigger the skin’s self-repair process and cellular regeneration will occur. New skin will replace the old layer, and it will be smoother, brighter, and less wrinkled than before.
Types of Chemical Peels
Light Peel
Also known as superficial peel or lunchtime peel, this chemical face peel is prepared from a mild acid (such as alpha-hydroxy acid). This will only penetrate the outer skin layer and cause its exfoliation. You can improve mild skin pigmentation, obtain a smoother skin texture, and refresh the face, neck, hands, or chest.
Medium Peel
It usually contains glycolic acid, which is aimed at penetrating the outer as well as middle skin layers to eliminate dead or damaged skin cells. Your chemical peel provider may recommend a medium peel if you want to improve fine lines, age spots, liver spots, and moderate discoloration. Precancerous skin growths such as actinic keratosis can also be treated with glycolic peels.
Deep Peels
These are strong chemical peels, containing phenol or trichloroacetic acid that will penetrate up to the deeper skin layers to remove damaged cells. You can improve moderate facial lines and wrinkles, age spots and shallow scars with a deep peel. The treatment will involve some downtime, and your med spa expert will explain to you all aspects of these peels to help you make the right choice.
