They can improve texture, reduce wrinkles, and even out skin tone. But with so many different types of chemical peels available, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your skin type. Here we will discuss the different types of chemical peels and help you decide which one is right for you.

What’s a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are cosmetic procedures that use a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin. Using a chemical peel can clear up the skin by reducing wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation.

The Different Types of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels come in three main types: 

Light

This type of peel is intended to treat fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

Medium

Many skin problems, including wrinkles, acne scarring, and uneven pigmentation are treated with it. A medium chemical peel involves removing cells from the epidermis and portions of the dermis to achieve a medium chemical peel. Medium peels can treat wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone.

Deep

Deep peels are the most aggressive and help treat deep wrinkles, scars, and severe sun damage.

Which Chemical Peel is Right for You?

Chemical peels are categorized based on your skin type and the condition you are trying to treat. People with sensitive skin may prefer a light peel. If you have more resistant skin, you may be able to tolerate a medium peel. A trained medical professional should only perform deep peels.

The Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. They can also help improve the texture of the skin and make it appear more youthful.

The Risks of Chemical Peels

The main risks of chemical peels are burns, scarring, and infection. Chemical peels can also cause temporary redness, swelling, and peeling of the skin.

The Bottom Line

Chemical peels can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin. Treatments are available to treat various conditions, including wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. Chemical peels are typically well-tolerated and have few side effects.
