Chemical peel facial treatments usually fall into three general categories: light, medium, and deep peels. Light and medium peels will exfoliate your skin surface and clear all your clogged pores, with some light flaking or peeling. These peels can gently address chronic dry skin, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, mild acne, and acne scars. But if you want to minimize the effect of deeper facial wrinkles or improve the blotchiness caused by sun damage or aging, you may be a suitable candidate for a deep chemical peel treatment, which is more invasive than the other two types and requires more post-treatment recovery.
