Chemical peels, a longstanding skincare treatment highlighted by over 1.4 million procedures in the U.S. in 2022, help achieve smoother, youthful skin by exfoliating the top layers through varying intensities: light, medium, and deep. Ideal for reducing wrinkles, fading scars, and evening out skin tone, chemical peels are accompanied by potential risks like redness and swelling. However, they are not suitable for everyone, including those with certain medical conditions. Preparation involves selecting a qualified doctor and can be paired with other cosmetic treatments for enhanced results.
