Indications

Deep peels involve the use of chemoexfoliants that penetrate to the midreticular dermis [45]. Indications for the use of deep peeling agents include deep rhytids secondary to photoaging (Glogau type III or IV), treatment of severe or extensive AK, and solar lentigines (Table 4.2). Although the practice is not universally accepted, some physicians use deep peels for acne scarring and melasma [43].
