Deep Chemical Peel
Our deep chemical peels, TCA or Jessner, are designed to restore blemished, acne scarred, uneven, or sun-damaged skin. Once the treatment has occurred, new cells and collagen will be stimulated during the healing process in order to produce a tighter, smoother, age-defying look. The depth and type of peel is dependent upon the patient's skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Deep Chemical Peel?
The Deep Chemical Peel, like Jessner and TCA, are a medium depth peel designed for more extensive damage. They are made from salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid), lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid) and resorcinol. These Deep Chemical Peels penetrate beyond the top layers of your skin and can be used on your face and chest.
What Happens Before Chemical Peel?
The patient should not be in the sun or tanning bed. The patient should also be off of any Retinol products for 7 days.
What Happens Post Deep Chemical Peel?
The Deep Chemical Peel requires 7-14 days down time. You can expect a complete sloughing or peeling of skin for 7 days. On a return visit within 7-10 days, an oxygen treatment will help restore cell growth with different vitamins and antioxidants. Every peel will cause some degree of flaking or peeling with varying amounts of redness post-procedure. The degree of flaking and redness is dependent upon the acid strength and type. The day after your procedure you could start to feel tightness. During the next 7-14 days flaking and/or peeling could occur. If you do not experience any flaking or peeling that doesn't mean that you will not achieve the optimal results. All peels will create sensitivity to heat and sun for several days post peel and it is critical to the success of the peel that you comply with post procedure care requirements.
