a type of skin rejuvenation procedure which is aimed at treating either pigment or wrinkles of the skin. There are various chemical peels defined as superficial, medium, or deep depending on the depth of penetration. The chemical used varies depending on the depth of peel required. A chemical peel is designed to remove the outer layer of skin and when performed correctly will result in improvement and no long term complications. The concern is that there are significant complications which can occur and must be administered by a well trained physician.

Chemical removal of the top, sun-damaged skin to expose more evenly textured, better colored fresh skin and possibly stimulate collagen production for anti-aging effect. Estheticians may do superficial peels and medical doctors perform deeper ones, depending on the state in which the chemical peel is performed. Three different chemicals are used: Alphahydroxy acid (AHA) peels are the most superficial; trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is used for medium-depth peeling; and carbolic acid (phenol) is the most severe and in many states can only be administered by a doctor.

In this procedure, the doctor applies an acid that is stronger than is available in topical creams. The acid (trichloroacetic acid is generally preferred) burns the outer layer of the skin, which peels off, causing new, smoother skin to regenerate. The skin has a scab for about 10 days and is pink for about 3 months. The patient may be left with small scars, and the skin will be permanently lighter and more susceptible to sunburn. Chemical peels can cause blotchy skin in people with darker skin.

A chemical peel solution is applied to the entire face or to specific areas to peel away the skin's top layers. Several light to medium-depth peels can often achieve similar results to one deeper peel treatment, with less risk and shorter recovery time. Peel solutions may contain alpha hydroxy acids, tricholoracetic acid (TCA) or phenol as the peeling agent, depending on the depth of peel desired and on other patient selection factors.
A procedure in which low concentrations of an acid solution are applied to the skin to remove the thin surface layers of aged and sun damaged skin from the face or other parts of the body. Trichloroacetic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, resorcinol and carbolic acid are some of the more common acid solutions used in this treatment.

The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Thus the term chemical peel is derived.
