Why would I have a chemical peel?

Peels can help to manage skin conditions, but the main reason patients have a chemical peel is to even out the texture and pigmentation of the skin. Chemical peels stimulate skin cell regeneration which results in a smoother overall skin surface.

A couple of minutes later a white coating will appear as any solvents present in the peel evaporate. You may experience a tingling or tightening feeling at this point.The peel stays on the skin for a specific amount of time before it is neutralised and removed. A cool compress is then applied to the skin.
