cosmetic treatment using chemicals to exfoliate skin layers

Chemical peels, also known as chemexfoliation or derma peeling, are cosmetic treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove its outer layers. This process helps to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, scars, and discoloration, and can also stimulate new skin growth. The depth of the peel can vary, ranging from superficial to deep, depending on the type of chemical used and the desired outcome.
