As we get older, dead skin cells do not slough off as easily as when we are younger. This can cause the skin to appear dull. Light, medium and deep chemical peels are popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures used to peel away the skin’s top layer to improve sun-damaged, unevenly pigmented and wrinkled skin. Improving the evenness of color and texture in your skin creates a youthful look and restores a healthy, luminous appearance.
