What are Chemical Peels?

Posted on 27. Feb, 2009 by Esthetician.

A chemical peel is simply applying a safe but effective chemical solution to cause chemical exfoliation of the epidermis, or outer layer of the skin. As a licensed esthetician, I use chemical solutions like glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or Skin Medica’s Vitalize Peel to remove damaged outer layers of facial skin. The result is a smoother more even complexion.
