Peels are a way of exfoliating the skin and have many benefits. They remove dead skin cells, using acidic substances, and come in different strengths which go into different depths of the skin, depending on the type of peel. Chemical peels can promote new cell turnover which can lead to new collagen stimulation. Chemical peels are used to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve the appearance of sun damage, help treat acne, and reduce discolouration such as dark spots and pigmentation.
