The objective of the article was to describe the applicability and effect of chemical peels as a correction of hyperpigmentation in the female genito-perineal area. A bibliographic review was carried out in: Pubmed and Google Scholar. Key terms such as: "Chemical peelings", "Female genital hyperpigmentation" "Treatment", "Hyperpigmentation" were used with the connectors "And" and "Or". With which no results were obtained, so a search was carried out by individual terms and the filters were applied: year of publications, type of articles and keywords, obtaining 8 articles, of which 3 were excluded according to criteria of inclusion and exclusion, leaving 5 articles for analysis and description according to the proposed objectives. The chemical peel represents an adequate treatment for dermal disorders, including hyperpigmentation in the genital region, easy to apply and has become very popular in recent times.
