What is the purpose of a chemical peel?

To hydrate the skin
To remove hair from the skin
To exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover
To tighten the skin

The correct answer is: To exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover

The purpose of a chemical peel is primarily to exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover. This treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate and eventually shed. As the skin heals, new skin cells are generated, leading to improved texture, tone, and overall appearance. Chemical peels can effectively address various skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. The exfoliation process also encourages a rejuvenation of the skin, making it look fresher and more youthful. While other treatments may focus on hydrating the skin, removing hair, or tightening the skin, a chemical peel specifically targets the surface layers to enhance skin quality through exfoliation and the stimulation of new cell growth.
