Laser vs. Chemical Peels: Which is Right for Your Skin?
First, What Do They Actually Do?
Think of both treatments as ways to encourage your skin to renew itself—kind of like hitting the refresh button.
-
Chemical peels use specially formulated acids to gently remove the top layers of skin. This stimulates new skin growth, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.
-
Laser treatments use focused light energy to target deeper skin layers. Lasers can resurface skin, reduce pigmentation, tighten pores, and even stimulate collagen.

???? So…Which One Should You Choose?
It really comes down to your skin type, goals, and lifestyle:
| Goal | Best Option |
