A chemical peel is performed under the supervision of a qualified professional. It begins with cleansing the skin, followed by the application of a chemical solution. This solution can contain various acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, carbolic, or trichloroacetic acid. When applied to targeted areas, the solution induces controlled exfoliation, prompting the regeneration of new skin.

During the procedure, patients typically experience a burning sensation lasting about 5 to 10 minutes, which may be followed by mild stinging. To alleviate discomfort, specialists often recommend using cold compresses. For deeper peels, pain relief may be managed with medication if necessary.
