Chemical peels lead to thin and saggy skin
It’s true that chemical peels can cause a thinning of the epidermis, but this is usually something that does not last more than a week, so there’s nothing to worry about. “Your skin is a living organism with a dermis and five layers of epidermis that are replaced every 40 days or so,” says Anna Guanche, MD, a dermatologist at Bella Skin Institute in Calabasas, California. “You may peel off the top layers of your skin and it will be thinner for a day or two, but really what happens is that your skin rejuvenates more effectively and quickly because of the peel.”
