What is a Chemical Skin Peel?
"Chemical peel" is a general classification for a number of chemical treatments used to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. Typically during a chemical peel nothing actually "peels" off. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, and works by dissolving the upper layers of the skin. As the tissue is dissolved, a wound is created on the skin which stimulates the body's healing response, causing new tissue to emerge. The depth and strength of the 'peel' varies based upon the strength of the chemicals used and the length of time the solution is applied.
Some chemical peels are so strong as to be able to remove the whole surface of the skin, in a manner similar to CO2 or Erbium lasers. These are the deepest forms of chemical peeling, which, in my opinion, are not used as often as they had been. These forms of peels have generally been replaced by laser treatment as laser provides a greater and more precise level of control to the practitioner. Most peels today are less destructive and more superficial.
Type of Peels
 
There are a variety of different types of chemical skin peels, as there is a variety of chemicals used, each with their own properties. Phenol peels consist of a deeper solution, which may remove the upper layers of the skin. TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) peels are another common peel, which can vary in concentration. Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid and alpha hydroxy acid peels are widlelu used in different concentrations. Your physician will examine your skin and texture and decide which kind of peel, at what concentration is suitable for your skin.
Chemical Peels Highly Popular
 
By far the most popular use of the chemical peel is for facial skin regeneration. They are used to stimulate inflammation in the skin which results in non-ablative skin remodeling. Chemical peels induce collagen growth, improve discoloration and age spotting, and provide for a general superficial resurfacing of the face. By destroying the surface layer of the facial skin, they allow a new layer to grow in its place which is smoother and has improved texture.
What Happens During Treatment  
Nothing actually ‘peels off’ during a chemical peel. A chemical solution is applied to the face, and works by dissolving the upper layers of the skin. As the tissue is dissolved, a wound is created on the skin which stimulates the body's healing response, causing new tissue to emerge. The depth and strength of the ‘peel’ varies based upon the strength of the chemicals used and the length of time the solution is applied.
