A chemical peel is a controlled wound, created by the application of an acid applied topically to the skin. Even
though this is a controlled wound, the skin still goes through its stages of wound healing, in which one may
experience heat, redness, itching, irritation, and of course, visible flaking or peeling of skin.

Depending on the solution being used, the number of layers being applied, thickness of the skin and many other
factors, determines the depth of the peel and the possible after-effects the skin will go through.
It is Peel Season! Don't forget the
most important part –
Post Care!
