Chemical Peels
with board-relevant, easy-to-review material. Chemical peels are chemical solutions applied to the skin as a technique to improve the appearance. Various acids are used depending on the specific improvements desired such as fine lines or dyspigmentation. The concentration of the acid determines the depth of the peel and thus the subsequent degree of skin desquamation.
After, test your knowledge by answering the 5 practice questions.
