TCA
San Francisco - Oakland - Santa Rosa - Marin

If your skin is burdened by wrinkles and other signs of age, a medium chemical peel, also known as a TCA peel (trichloro acetic acid), is a fast, effective way to “turn back the clock.” This chemical solution is applied to wrinkles and brings fresher, smoother, natural skin to the surface.

A TCA peel can be done in either of our two offices, and takes anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour. It works best on fine wrinkles; dynamic wrinkles are treated with other procedures.

The peel reveals the younger, deeper levels of skin. While the peel does cause some minor discomfort, it lasts only for a brief period of time, and is gone instantly once the water is applied.

For the next week or so, you probably won’t want to go to work, because the skin on your face will need some time to heal. During this time the layer of old skin will work its way off. Once it has sloughed away, your face will be radiant with smooth, clear skin. It can take years off of your appearance!

We treat patients throughout the San Francisco and Oakland, California, areas. For more information on how you can change the appearance of you skin, so you can look as young as you feel, contact us today.
