THURSDAY, Aug. 1, 2024 (HealthDay News) — Don’t use a chemical peel to help rejuvenate your skin unless it’s done under the supervision of a trained professional, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has advised.
”FDA is warning consumers not to purchase or use certain chemical peel skin products without appropriate professional supervision due to risk of serious skin injuries,” the agency said in a news release issued this week.
A dermatologist or licensed and trained practitioner should always be on hand when a peel — which is designed to remove layers of skin — is being applied.
