With this many chemical peel treatments done last year alone, you can see that chemical peels play an enormous role in patient results. Whether on their own or in combination with other treatments, chemical peels play a large role in aesthetic medicine.

Chemical peel treatments, also known as chemexfoliation, use a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the skin by removing its damaged outer layers. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which causes a reaction in the skin and eventual peeling. Once your patient's skin completes the regeneration process, it will feel smoother, tighter, and less evident of the condition that bothered them.

While phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), and betahydroxy acids are all common chemicals used for the peeling process, the gentler alphahydroxy acids and betahydroxy acids are more widely used for aesthetic procedures. The proper choice of peel and the precise formula that is used is adjusted to meet your patient's needs.
