TCA Peels

A chemical peel is a treatment that chemically exfoliates the skin’s top layers to reveal the softer and healthier skin below. Chemical peels are used to treat a variety of skin conditions. This can include environmentally damaged/hyperpigmented, acne prone, and even sensitive skin types. In many cases, wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging, and heredity can be reduced and even eliminated through the use of a series of chemical peels. Irregular skin pigmentation, sun-damaged skin, and even precancerous keratoses may improve as a result of chemical peels. Chemical peels can increase the skin’s tolerance to external factors and control acne. The strength of the chemical peel is determined by the patient’s individual skin type and the degree of damage to the skin.

This procedure is not effective in the treatment of more severe wrinkles and sagging which often require a surgical procedure such as a facelift or liposculpture.

Dr Nyte generally uses TCA (tri-chloro-acetic Acid) at strengths of 25% and 35% as office or hospital facial peels.  These TCA strengths act as a medium depth peeling agent to rejouvinate sun damaged and acne scarred skin.  Deeper chemical peels using Phenol can be used in certain cases of deep acne scarring.
