Facial Chemical Peels (TCA)
At the our office , we provide procedures to bring out your inner beauty on all levels, including the skin. This is why we offer chemical peels, which remove the top layers of skin to reveal the healthy, youthful skin underneath. Chemical peels can reduce the affects of sun damage, fine wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.
Dr. Gershenbaum can control the intensity of a chemical peel by adjusting the amount of time the peel is applied and the strength of the peel. Our clinic utilizes TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels for optimal results. This type of peel is especially effective in treating patients with darker skin.
TCA peels are strong enough to provide noteworthy results, but remain virtually painless. Most patients describe the feeling as a tingling sensation.
No anesthesia is necessary, and chemical peels require very little recovery time. Patients are asked, however, to avoid exposure to intense sunlight for the first few days following the peel.
