Chemical Peel

Over the years, many individuals become unhappy with the texture and appearance of their skin. Imperfections like wrinkles, acne, and uneven skin tone are bound to happen to most people at a certain point during their life. Although these imperfections are natural, you do not have to live with them forever. There are several ways to deal with skin problems, and a Chemical Peel is a great way to reveal younger fresh skin that you will be proud to show off for years to come. Chemical Peels have become more popular over the last few years, and patients are very pleased with their results. If you’re interested in receiving a Chemical Peel, you should contact a plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your individual situation.

What To Expect

There are two types of Chemical Peels to choose from, an AHA, or a TCA.  An alphahydroxy acid peel is very light, and produces a very light Chemical Peel. If you don’t have a lot of time to spend recovering, this is a good option for you. The AHA can give you the glow you want, while getting rid of fine lines, wrinkles, and any acne you may have on your face. AHA’s are good for those individual’s who only want a light treatment, and do not have deep skin imperfections. The TCA peel is for achieving a deeper Chemical Peel, but will also target facial lines, wrinkles, and any deeper pigmentations issues you may want to remove. Many individuals prefer the TCA peel because it can remove deep acne scarring that has been left behind from previous years.

You should know that a TCA peel requires a longer recovery time than an AHA peel because it is much stronger. But depending on your desired results, multiple treatments may be necessary with the AHA peel. Both Chemical Peels make your skin very susceptible to damage, and you should be sure to wear sunscreen at all times after you receive the procedure. The intensity of your Chemical Peel can also be adjusted by your plastic surgeon, so it is important to communicate your needs and concerns during your consult so that everyone can be on the same page.
