The short answer

What is a chemical peel, and which one fits?

A chemical peel applies acids (such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic or TCA) to exfoliate and renew the skin. Superficial peels brighten with little downtime; medium peels treat deeper pigment and texture with several days of peeling.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the peel type is chosen for your skin and travel plans and quoted at consultation.

Honest suitability

Who Chemical Peels suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Dull, uneven skin
  • Mild acne and congestion (salicylic peels)
  • Fine lines and texture
  • Superficial pigment
  • Oily skin

Probably not the first choice

  • Melasma with strong peels (risk of rebound)
  • Very sensitive or broken skin
  • Recent isotretinoin
  • Fresh tans
  • Medium peels right before a flight
How it works

Peel depth matters

Superficial: AHA/BHA peels, little downtime.

Medium: TCA-based peels, several days of peeling; see TCA CROSS for scars.

Prep: some peels need skin preparation.
