TCA Glycolic Skin Peel

The TCA Glycolic Skin Peel, a medium peel, is one of the gold standards for treatment of various skin conditions. Trichloroacetic Acid treatments can be used in varying concentrations from as low as 10% to as high as 50% -- The higher the concentration, the deeper the skin peel. When used in a controlled fashion, TCA peels produce improvement in collagen and elastin in the skin and reduction of fine lines, acne scars, dark spots, and a variety of other conditions. It will lighten or even diminish shallow tattoos (depending on darkness and depth of tattoo).

A medium TCA peel will produce a deeper penetration, causing the skin to peel, whereas lighter peels (Glycolic, Lactic, etc.) cause a light flaking. The draw back to a deeper peel is that it causes the skin to appear to have a severe sunburn for about one week. A person having a medium TCA chemical peel must stay in for one week (maybe longer) to recover.

Once the TCA skin peel treatment is completed, you can expect to shed the dead, outer layer of skin for approximately three days. Following this, you can expect your skin to be completely healed within ten to fourteen days. At that time you will notice improvement in the appearance of your skin, which will have less wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation problems. You will also notice a healthy glow as your face appears radiant and shining.

Chemical Facial Peel

TCA is a deeper chemical facial peel than most of the superficial peels that just cause the skin to lightly flake. Because it is a deeper treatment, your "downtime" will be approximately one week. During this time of peeling and healing, you will be required to keep your facial skin moist with an antibacterial ointment. After you are healed, sunscreen use is very important since you are initially much more sensitive to harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing procedures cannot produce perfect skin; rather the goal is to improve the appearance of the skin as much as possible. The TCA Glycolic Skin Peel is great for SUN-DAMAGED, DRY, or FLAKY SKIN and DARK SPOTS! Hyper pigmentation (darkened skin) and age spots lighten or disappear by the medium-deep peeling action of TCA, which sheds off those damaged surface skin cells, revealing new, smoother skin beneath. Greatly improves ACNE and BLACKHEADS by shedding away the outer layer of skin that blocks infection in the pores, allowing the infection to clear out and the pores to heal!

SCARS and shallow TATTOOS lighten or fade away (depending on the number of treatments and the depth of scars/tattoos). LIP CREASES decrease in depth, thereby reducing the crease size and preventing lipstick seepage. New surface skin is now is clear and smooth.
