In the field of skin care we define the process of removing excess accumulations of dead cells from the skin a peeling or exfoliation.  This can be done by using products (Glycolic acid etc.) formulated to achieve specific results know as chemical peels.

The process involves application to the skin in area with a cotton swab or small burs.  The chemical is left on the skin for a certain period of time depending on the solution, product strength, skin type, skin condition, sensitivity, age, or prior use of any exfoliating agent to obtain a specific result.

The rate of improvement depends on age, skin type, condition, degree of sun or environmental damage, pigmentation levels, as well level of peel being used.  To achieve maximum results it is recommended to do a series of treatments.
