What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are treatments that aim to improve the skin of the face or body by applying a chemical solution, resulting in controlled destruction at a specific depth. The result is usually the shedding of dead skin, with the regeneration of new, healthier tissue. The regenerated skin is typically smoother, less wrinkled, and has less pigmentation and blemishes than the old skin.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Chemical Peel?

Ideal candidates for TCA chemical peels are individuals in the San Francisco area seeking to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Patients with sun-damaged skin, age spots, fine lines, mild acne scarring, or uneven pigmentation tend to see excellent results.

During your consultation, Dr. Noud evaluates your skin type and concerns to determine the most appropriate peel strength and protocol for your needs.

What Are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel?

  • Improving Skin Texture: TCA chemical peels are highly effective at exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. They can help smooth rough texture, minimize the appearance of fine lines, and reduce the visibility of acne scars and other surface imperfections. TCA peels are particularly beneficial for individuals with sun-damaged skin, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
  • Addressing Hyperpigmentation: TCA chemical peels can effectively target and lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, including sunspots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. By removing damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production, TCA peels can help even out your skin tone, revealing a more balanced and youthful complexion.
  • Stimulating Collagen Production: TCA chemical peels not only improve the skin’s outer appearance but also stimulate collagen production beneath the surface. Collagen is a crucial protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. By encouraging collagen synthesis, TCA peels can help improve skin firmness and elasticity and promote a healthier appearance.

What’s the First Step?

Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Meaghan Noud at Statera Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery in San Francisco, CA.
