The traditional resurfacing face peel procedure involves the application of a solution designed to smooth and exfoliate skin while removing the damaged outer layer. A facial resurfacing peel is a safe, commonly used method of treating acne, age spots, brown spots, large pores, fine wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation. Recovery time is quick, with most redness and dryness subsiding within a week's time.

Special solutions assists in this skin treatment by stimulating new collagen and skin growth while allowing dead skin cells to fall off naturally. Right before the peel, the skin is cleansed. The solution is then applied to the skin with a small brush, gauze, or applicators. The solution is left on the skin for several minutes, depending on the strength of solution used, your skin type and condition. Water or alcohol may be used to neutralize the solution and end the reaction, then it is wiped off. You may feel a little tingle while the solution is on your skin.
