My wife wants to do a chemical peel treatment for the acne. I am worried about putting chemicals in her face? What kind of chemicals are used in a chemical peel treatment? Is it an approved and effective treatment? Is there an alternative treatment which is just as effective?

Chemical peels makes use of chemical solutions applied to skin to make the old skin peels off and allowing new skin to grow in its place. It is an approved treatment and an effective one, but its risk factors depend on how deeply the chemical penetrates the skin. This in turn depends on factors like concentration of peeling agent and number of coats applied and so on. But there is nothing to worry about, if your dermatologist is experienced in chemical peel treatment. Read about it: . I am sure there exist many such treatments which provides similar results, but each has its own risk factors. Talking to a good dermatologist will help you find the best treatment.
