Chemical peels (TCA peel) are safe and effective for all skin types. With the appropriate skin care program to support the TCA chemical peel, many patients have realized dramatic results. Programs such as these are ideal for patients with darker complexions who may not be Laser resurfacing candidates, patients with acne scarring or active acne breakouts or those seeking smoother, more youthful skin. Trichloroacedic acid is applied by a trained healthcare professional to remove the top layers of damaged skin. New cells formed during healing produce tighter, more youthful-looking skin. Peeling can last for up to a week following the procedure and down time is limited to 24-48 hours after the procedure when peeling is the most prevalent.

Microdermabrasion or particle abrasion is a treatment involving a high pressure unit and small crystals which simulate a gentle to firm "sanding" of the surface of the skin. The procedure is not painful and many patients return to work immediately with only a pink or flushed face. Microdermabrasion can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. This simple procedure is performed in a series of treatments one to two weeks apart for 3, 6, or 9 weeks. It is also used in combination with Glycolic Acid Peels for the most dramatic results.
