Facial peels, also known as a chemical peel, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin and treat various skin concerns. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, where it sits for a few minutes before removing the top layer of dead skin cells. The skin that grows back is smoother. It can help with acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rough texture and uneven skin tone.
