Can chemical peels damage the skin?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A chemical peel is a controlled acid burn of the skin designed to allow the skin to heal in a cosmetically acceptable way. Any attempt to do good can go awry and unsightly scarring or blotchy pigmentation are both risks of a chemical peel. Choose a doctor with experience.

Yes: There are many kinds of chemical peels from mild to strong acids and alkali similar to toilet bowl cleaner. In inexperienced hands they can cause permanent scarring. Do you homework carefully before agreeing to a peel and never without a doctors supervision.
