What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel, also known as derma peeling, is a solution used to improve the appearance of your skin and give it a younger, more youthful look.
It’s a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to shed its outer layer. This layer eventually peels off, revealing fresher, more youthful skin underneath.
