Cosmetic-driven research currently yields an avalanche of products and treatments for all dermatological sub-segments. Many treatments aimed at rejuvenating skin have been developed. Although chemical peels have now been used for more than a century–and despite the availability of new technologies–the treatment is still widely known and employed due to its practicality, low cost, and excellent results. The present study offers a review of all types of peelings recognized by the scientific literature – from the most superficial to the deepest – compiling the practical experience of the authors and detailed descriptions of the application technique, results, and complications.
