Review: A chemical peel is a skin treatment that, by the external application of a caustic solution, is intended to visibly improve the structure of the tissue that is treated. Here Philippe Deprez, Medical Director of the Spanish Policlinica Estetica and Anti-Ageing, gives the reader the benefit of his experience in research, practice and teaching the topic. He describes all types of treatments and all types of peel, giving attention to the science underlying their use. Chemical peels, and the use of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), resorcinol and phenol are all discussed and illustrated in detail.
