A chemical peel is an effective means to minimize the effects of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkling over the forehead, cheeks, and around eye and mouth contours. It is also a very helpful treatment for those with pigmentation problems, superficial acne and skin problems associated with scarring.

2. AHA: often more than one treatment is necessary
