TCA CHEMICAL PEELS
Your skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells. Everyday thousands of cells die fall off and are replaced by new cells from below.
Unfortunately, as we age, this becomes a slower and more haphazard process, making your skin unable to shed dark blotches, sun damage, or a dull, life less complexion.
The function of a skin chemical peel is to create an even controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells. This exposes a new fresh layer of skin with a more even color and a smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.
Our physicans perform different strengths (20-35%) chemical TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) at our medical facility. TCA is a non-toxic chemical which has been used to perform skin peels for over 30 years. TCA peels have the advantage of creating a fresh natural appearing complexion, while preserving the normal skin color. For this reason, they are often referred to as “freshening peels”.
TCA Peels can effectively improve many conditions, including:
- Dull, weathered skin
- Freckling
- Blotchy pigmentation (including the mask of pregnancy)
- Sun damage (including precancerous lesions)
- Fine wrinkles
- Shallow acne scars
