What is Chemical Peeling? What Is It Performed For? What Does It Do?

Chemical peeling is a controlled peeling of the skin using various acids.

Chemical peeling is a procedure that is applied to the skin with a chemical solution to peel the damaged skin cells from the skin, to treat the wrinkled skin surface or to repair previously formed scars and sunspots. With this method, spots and acne, acne scars are treated and the skin is renewed.

Different types of acids are applied according to different skin depths. There are many options available according to the need and the sensitivity of the skin.

When chemical peeling is applied, two layers of the skin are affected: the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is the visible layer on the outer surface of the skin, and the dermis is underneath. The dermis is the deeper layer, containing nerve endings, sweat glands, and hair follicles.

How is Chemical Peeling Performed?

The procedure is started by first washing the skin and degreasing it. The solution is then carefully applied and allowed to remain on the skin for a short time, in some cases longer, to remove the damaged skin layers. During the procedure, most patients may experience a warm to slightly warm sensation that lasts for about 5-10 minutes followed by a stinging sensation.
