Abstract
The last decades have been marked by the fast expansion of innovative technology. The associated strong industry marketing recently dominated the realms of procedural dermatology. Chemical peels have no marketing except the few “patented commercial formulas” that try to find their place in the dermatologic practice.
The concepts and techniques written in this chapter are intended to be read by officially certified dermatologists. Many workshops are done regularly during academy and society meetings, and the hands-on experience is the unique way of proper learning. Every medical intervention has its learning curve, and it is ethical to start the learning curve with supervised training such as medical residency.
May this chapter build enthusiasm to those initiating the practice of chemical peels and also bring joy to the experienced peelers.
