Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation and peeling. The regenerated skin is typically smoother, less wrinkled, and more even in tone and color.
Chemical peels are used to treat acne, mild scarring, uneven skin pigmentation, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin. They can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas.
Good candidates for chemical peels have realistic expectations and skin concerns that can be improved with this treatment. A consultation with a dermatologist is essential to determine suitability.
Chemical peels are categorized by their depth of penetration: superficial, medium, and deep
These mild peels use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid to exfoliate only the outermost layer of skin. They require little to no downtime and are used for mild skin texture issues and dullness.
Typically, using trichloroacetic acid (TCA), these peels penetrate the outer and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. They effectively treat wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.
Using phenol as the active ingredient, deep peels penetrate several layers of skin to address more severe concerns. These require significant downtime and should only be performed by experienced dermatologists.

How chemical peels can effectively treat acne and prevent future breakouts
Chemical peels are particularly effective for comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads), mild inflammatory acne, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They help unclog pores and reduce bacteria.
Salicylic acid peels are especially beneficial for acne as they penetrate oil-filled pores and exfoliate dead skin cells that clog them. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce redness.
For acne, a series of 4-6 peels spaced 2-4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance peels may be needed every 1-3 months depending on individual response and skin condition.
