Chemical peels are a popular cosmetic procedure used to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat acne scars. They involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layer of skin to peel off, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin.

• Use mild acids (alpha-hydroxy acids or beta-hydroxy acids) to exfoliate the top layer of skin.
• Use stronger acids (trichloroacetic acid or Jessner’s solution) to penetrate deeper into the skin.
• Use phenol or carbolic acid to remove multiple layers of skin, resulting in significant skin rejuvenation.
