Chemical peel treatment or chemexfoliation is a technique where strong chemical agents (in the right concentrations), usually acidic in nature, are applied over the skin with the desired action of removing the top layer and hence replacing it with the underlying smoother skin. It is therefore also called a skin peeling treatment. They are most commonly done over the face, neck or hands.

They can be superficial peels, acting on the outermost layer of the skin, medium depth peels or deep peels acting up to the middle layers of the skin. A general thumb rule could be that peels that act deeper have stronger action for the indications they are used for. However, this may not always be the case. We provide the details of the various chemical peel treatments, to help you understand them. Your dermatologist will ultimately be the best judge of which chemical peel treatment is best for you.
