Intrigued by that chemical peel on the spa menu?

The term chemical peel refers to a wide range of treatments that use a chemical agent to quickly exfoliate the skin. The chemical peels performed at a day spa or salon are appropriately called light peels, because they work on the superficial layers of the skin. Deeper peels can be done at your dermatologist's office.

Light peels brighten the complexion and smooth the skin. In some cases, they can help clear acne and soften the look of discoloration and some forms of acne scarring.
