A chemical peel involves the application of chemical solutions to the skin in a clinical setting, producing controlled tissue damage. The desired depth of the wound is dependent upon the condition to be treated. After the peel, the skin regenerates. The damaged skin likely regenerates through the growth of cells from deeper layers of the epidermis or from undamaged hair follicles.
