Abstract
Chemical peels are an effective tool for the treatment of photoaged skin and acne scarring. Popular through most of the twentieth century, their use has been overshadowed by higher technology devices, such as lasers and intense pulsed light sources. Nevertheless, chemical peels are a perfect fit for many physicians’ practices. They can be tailored to the specific skin problem and specific patient, providing excellent cosmetic results with minimal risks.
