A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses acids to remove the top layer of the skin. This can help to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

There are three main types of chemical peels: superficial, medium-depth, and deep peels. Superficial peels are the mildest type of peel and only remove the top layer of the skin. Medium-depth peels remove the epidermis and part of the dermis, and deep peels remove the entire epidermis and dermis.

Chemical peels can offer a number of benefits, including:

• Reduced appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation
• Improved overall texture and tone of the skin
• Stimulated collagen production
• Reduced appearance of pores
• Improved skin hydration

Recovery time from a chemical peel will vary depending on the type of peel you had and your individual skin type. Superficial peels typically require 3-7 days to recover, medium-depth peels typically require 7-10 days to recover, and deep peels typically require 10-14 days to recover.
