    Author: Lee KC, Wambier CG, Soon SL, Sterling JB, Landau M, Rullan P, Brody HJ, International Peeling Society.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2019 Aug; 81(2):313-324. PubMed ID: 30550830.
    Abstract:
    Chemical peeling, or chemexfoliation, has been used for centuries to improve signs of ultraviolet light-induced sun damage. Over the last 30 years, the science behind chemical peeling has evolved, increasing our understanding of the role of peeling ingredients and treatment indications. The depth of peels is directly related to improved results and to the number of complications that can occur. Key principles for superficial and medium depth peeling are discussed, as well as appropriate indications for these treatments.
