Understanding chemical peel procedure

When the top layer of dead and unhealthy skin is removed, new skin cells grow. So, the skin becomes smoother and devoid of any marks. The procedure is conducted to treat the face skin, back, hand, feet or any part of the body including underarms, eyelids, lips and it can be used with other products or procedures like Laser, microdermabrasion for the effectiveness of treatment. Chemical Peels can be done at light depth as well as more depth. The penetration depth is determined by the treatment choice and the issue to be treated.
