What is considered the deepest type of chemical peeling performed by an esthetician?

The deepest type of chemical peeling performed by an esthetician is known as deep peeling. This type of peel penetrates more profoundly into the dermis compared to other peel types, making it suitable for treating severe skin issues such as deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and scars. Deep peels often use stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or phenol, which are effective but require careful administration and extensive aftercare to promote healing and prevent complications.

In contrast, superficial peeling only addresses the outermost layer of the skin, resulting in mild exfoliation and minimal downtime. Medium peeling reaches further into the skin but does not go as deep as a deep peel, making it less effective for more extensive skin concerns. Ultra peeling is not a standard classification in the field, which further clarifies that deep peeling is recognized as the most intensive and beneficial for major skin rehabilitation.
