Chemical peels improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the signs of sun damage and age spots. A variety of different chemical peels, such as Glycolic Acid and Beta Lactic Acid, are used to treat scars, acne, damaged skin, and other conditions. The chemical solution causes the outer layer of skin to flake and peel off, revealing smoother, more evenly toned skin. The facial skin often feels tighter and shows fewer signs of aging after a chemical peel.
