Chemical peels are a simple and effective way to rejuvenate your skin. You have quite a few choices when it comes to this popular treatment. So let's dive right in, look at how chemical peels work, and review your treatment choices.

Choosing the right chemical peel can be overwhelming with so many options, but don't worry!
They can be sorted into three categories: light, medium, and deep.

Light chemical peels use mild solutions, like glycolic or lactic acid, to remove just the top layer of dull, dead skin cells. Light chemical peels are easy and convenient and require no anesthetic or downtime.
To get the most from light chemical peels, schedule one on a regular basis.

Medium peels are a bit stronger and reach more deeply into the skin. A medium peel may contain a component called TCA (trichloroacetic acid). These peels are typically used to treat problems like light scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
A medium peel will generally require a topical anesthetic and a bit of downtime.

The deep chemical peel is a powerful treatment that can be used to treat problems like deep scars and wrinkles. It may involve a chemical solution containing high-strength TCA or phenol.
Deep chemical peels always require a topical anesthetic and significant downtime. So you'd want to set aside a good deal of time to remain secluded while your skin heals from this strong treatment.
