The most superficial category of chemical exfoliation, a light chemical peel, works by removing part or all of the epidermis, creating inflammatory triggers that spur the production of new collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans. Peeling and flaking will occur for 1-3 days, a patient may return to their normal return directly after receiving a superficial chemical peel. The result is a brighter, more even complexion
