What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a clinical skin resurfacing treatment that uses controlled acids to dissolve dead skin cells, smooth texture, brighten pigmentation and stimulate skin renewal.
In simple terms: Chemical peels lift away old, dull skin and trigger fresh, glowing, healthier skin beneath.
In scientific terms: Peels accelerate corneocyte desquamation, epidermal turnover, dermal fibroblast activity, melanin regulation, and barrier lipid restoration.
