I got an Aha peel done recently and i am very glad with the results. It is not as strong as a phenol peel, is sublime and mild, but it gives great results. It is perfect for slightly damaged skin. There is no need to get a phenol ( which is too strong), if your skin needs moderate treatment. Aha peel is a good choice. I had a sunburn and wrinkles had begun to appear around my eyes and cheeks.My laugh lines were becoming very visible and  i was suggested to get aha done.

The doctor cleaned my face, applied the Aha solution on my face for about 10 mins. I went home and had some mild flaking and peeling later. There was some pinkish tinge to my face but not for too long. The new skin emerged after the prrling and flaking ( about 10 days) and my wrinkles were almost gone! I continued the treatment for a few months to get completely perfect results and now i have achieved that. The skin on my face feels much tighter, firmer and fresher. I am happy with the way AHA has worked on my face. The doctor also gave me a face wash with glycolic acid , to use daily which i think really helped me. I am happy with the results and i think chemical peel has been worth it.
