Chemical peels are often used to treat certain skin conditions or for aesthetic improvement; for instance, to reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth. Wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging, and hereditary factors can often be reduced or eliminated with this procedure. However, sags, bulges, and more severe wrinkles do not respond well to chemical peels. They may require other kinds of cosmetic surgical procedures, such as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, a face lift, brow lift, eye lift, or soft tissue filler (collagen, hyaluronic acid, or fat). A dermatologic surgeon can help determine the most appropriate type of treatment for each individual case.

Chemical peels are performed on the face, neck or hands. They can help reduce:

mild scarring certain types of acne sun spots age spots liver spots freckles dark patches due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills (melasma) Chemical peels can also help skin that is dull in texture and color.

Areas of sun damage, which may contain pre-cancerous keratoses that appear as scaly spots, may improve after chemical peeling. Following treatment, with diligent sun avoidance and sunscreen use, new pre-cancerous lesions are less likely to appear.
