How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a solution of acids to the skin, which breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells on the outer layer, known as the stratum corneum. This process stimulates controlled exfoliation and triggers the skin's natural healing response, promoting new cell turnover and collagen production in the underlying dermis. The peel’s penetration depth can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns, such as pigmentation, texture, and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin as the treated layers shed and regenerate.
