A chemical peel is an extremely popular treatment as it helps promote the growth of new skin by causing the top layers of skin to peel off using a chemical solution. After these layers are gone, new and beautiful skin is revealed. The strength and benefits of each peel and facial varies on the type of solution, amount of solution applied, and period of time it is left on the skin. Some types of peels may be very mild with shorter-term results and others penetrate much deeper for longer-lasting benefits.
