30% TCA chemical peel
OVERVIEW
Our peels are customized to your specific skin type and condition. Chemical Peels remove the top layers of skin to even skin tones and for a healthier, refreshed appearance. The peels range from an AHA superficial peel to a multiple acid Deep peel.
How to prepare
We request that you arrive with a clean, make-up free face
Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover.
Avoid excess sun exposure a week before your appointment. Sun damage could compromise your skin and make the treatment painful.
Do not use Retin-A/Retinol 7 days prior to treatment as this can thin your skin and compromise your treatment.
Consult with your medical provider regarding pretreatment with an antiviral if you have a history of cold sores
Treatment is not recommended if you have been on Accutane within the last 6 months.
If you are currently pregnant or nursing, you are not a suitable candidate for a chemical peel.
What to expect during treatment
Most people feel a burning sensation for the first few minutes of the procedure, followed by a stinging sensation as the acid exfoliates and clears away the top layers of your skin
This peel usually lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.
Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired look. Please allow several months in between sessions to give your skin time to full heal
