Expectation and Experience of Getting a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels can be a useful addition to your normal skin care routine, although it isn’t a treatment patients get on a regular basis. Dermatologists apply a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate the top layers. This helps minimize imperfections like age spots and fine lines, and it lets the skin look rejuvenated and youthful.

When you watch this video, you’ll learn what it feels like to get a chemical peel. First, the dermatologist applies a gel barrier around the eyes, lips, and nose to protect them. After degreasing the skin with a prep solution, the chemical agent is applied for a set period of time.
