TCA Chemical Peel
To Treat Sun Damage
And Refresh Your Skin
While there has been a number of new developments for treating
brown spots, fine lines and other signs of sundamaged skin,
the TCA chemical peel has been popular with dermatologists and
cosmetic surgeons for years. If you have the evidence of sundamaged
skin of the face, chest, arms, and hands so common in our culture
today, the TCA Peel is one of the ways to help improve skin
health and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin.
By applying the TCA solution directly
on the skin of the face or elsewhere, and this is often done
awake with minimal discomfort, many of the effects of years
of sun damage can be effectively treated. This Peel is often
called the “refreshening” peel, as after the most
superficial layers of the skin flake or peel off over a week
or so after applying the TCA to that area of skin, the “new”
skin appears “refreshed”. Brown spots are markedly
decreased, texture is improved, and fine lines are decreased
as well. While this is an excellent choice for rejuvenating
many of the skin changes commonly associated with sun-damaged
skin, there is some downtime in that the treated skin will
flake or peel off over a number of days to a week or more.
For this reason, some people select treatments with the Prolite
Photofacial IPL to treat the appearance of sun-damaged skin
and have a series of Prolite treatments over several months
without having the downtime usually associated with the TCA
Peel.
This Peel has a proven track record
and remains an important option for rejuvenation of sun-damaged
skin. Your specific skin rejuvenation concerns and needs will
help determine the selection of treatment options that may
be right for you.
A specific rejuvenation program often
involves pre-treatment skin care, sun protection and skin
maintenance prior to as well as after a TCA Peel, Prolite IPL Photofacial
treatment, or CO2 Laser (face only) treatment for sun-damaged
skin. At the time of the initial consultation, specific questions
can be answered and rejuvenation options discussed that address
your skin concerns and goals.
