What is a Chemical Peel?

Your skin is your body's largest organ, made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and fat layer. Chemical peels focus on the epidermis, causing the upper layer to blister and eventually peel off, revealing fresh, unblemished skin underneath. This non-invasive treatment has been used for centuries, with Cleopatra and the Romans among its early adopters.

Chemical peels are usually done on the face, neck, back or hands. They are aimed at improving your skin’s overall appearance.
