title: Chemical peels: an overview.
abstract: Chemical peel treatments cause the regeneration of new cells to occur at a faster rate than they would do naturally. In this article, the author discusses the history of chemical peels, what the treatment entails for phenol peels, TCA peels and AHA peels. The patient history of skin pretreatment is important as it guides the probable depth achieved with the peel solution.
