Salicylic Acid (Light) Chemical Peels

Beta hydroxy, salicylic acid chemical peels are known to have superior exfoliating properties without causing the irritation associated with more aggressive peels. Because salicylic acid peels exfoliate both the surface of the skin and within the pores themselves, they are a perfect option for patients who wish to rid themselves of years of dry, dull skin buildup. Salicylic acid facial peels are a safe and effective way to improve the look of sun-damaged and aging skin, and they are also beneficial in the reduction of mild acne scars.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) Chemical Peels

Glycolic acid peels are the most common chemical facial peels using alpha hydroxy acid, or AHA. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that occurs naturally in sugar cane. AHA chemical peels are a popular way to slough off layers of dead skin cells. These peels are also popular because they encourage skin cell regeneration, require little or no recovery time, and can be performed by an esthetician or a physician with no anesthesia.

During AHA chemical peels, glycolic acid penetrates the surface layers of the skin and loosens the dry, thick skin that makes the complexion look aged and dull. As a result of glycolic acid peels, skin with a smoother and more youthful texture is revealed.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Chemical Peels

TCA chemical peels are mid-level peels that involve applying trichloroacetic acid to the skin. TCA peels are done on an outpatient basis, but may require light sedation depending on the concentration of trichloroacetic acid used. Higher concentrations of acid will penetrate the skin more deeply, resulting in more dramatic improvements, but may also cause more patient discomfort during the procedure and a longer recovery time afterward.
