What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses carefully selected exfoliating acids or active solutions to remove damaged outer skin cells and stimulate skin renewal.

As fresh skin replaces older layers, the complexion can appear:

Brighter
Smoother
More even in tone
Clearer
More youthful

Ocean Clinic describes chemical peels as a treatment used to improve acne, pigmentation, ageing changes and skin quality.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chemical Peels

A chemical peel removes damaged outer skin cells and stimulates renewal to improve tone, texture, acne and pigmentation.

Most patients feel tingling or warmth during treatment. Discomfort is usually brief and manageable.

This depends on the concern being treated. Some patients benefit from a course of peels, while others choose maintenance sessions.

Some peels cause little visible peeling, while stronger peels may create several days of flaking or shedding.

They may improve mild acne marks and texture, and are often combined with other treatments for deeper scarring.
