Chemical peels are essentially medical-grade facials. When applied by a board-certified dermatologist, they provide various benefits that yield more dramatic results than the standard facial. From fine lines and wrinkles to rosacea and acne scars, different chemical compositions target skin issues. Here are some of the biggest reasons to get a chemical peel.

Why You Should Get a Chemical Peel

1. To Reverse Sun Damage

Over time, sun exposure can damage the skin, causing freckles, discoloration, and wrinkles. With a deep peel, which has penetrative properties, you can reverse such damage by removing the affected layers of skin. The deep peel targets the top layers of skin, which have the most damage, to reveal the smoother, more even-toned layers underneath.

2. To Minimize Acne Scars

Chemical peels can improve both existing acne and old acne scars. Depending on the formula you choose, for example, the peel can target bacteria that causes breakouts while simultaneously exfoliating your pores and relieving inflammation. It can also slough off the top layer of skin, which contains the most prominent acne scarring and the worst of any hyperpigmentation.

3. To Turn Back the Clock

Reversing the earliest signs of aging is perhaps the most popular reason to get a chemical peel. Removing dead skin cells promotes cell turnover, thereby ensuring a smoother, brighter, and more flawless complexion. Depending on the extent of your age spots, fine lines, or textural issues, two to four treatments can leave you looking considerably younger.
