What is Chemical Peeling?

Chemical peeling is a cosmetic procedure where a solution is applied to the skin that causes exfoliation of dead cells on the skin and results in a smoother underlying skin emerging after the dead skin cells are removed. Chemical peeling is also known to improve sun-damaged skin, to relieve congested pores and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Is Chemical Peeling safe?

Generally speaking yes, however, care must be taken to prevent infection and to avoid injuring or scarring the skin.
