How Does it Work?

How do Chemical Peels work?

Chemical peels use diluted acid-based solutions to exfoliate and remove damaged outer skin layers, revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath.

Mild Peels – Improve texture and brightness with minimal downtime
Medium Peels – Treat sun damage, fine lines, and discoloration
Deep Peels – Address deeper wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues

The strength and depth of a chemical peel depend on skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.

Who is a candidate for a Chemical Peel?

Individuals with sun damage, brown spots, or uneven skin tone
Patients looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores
Those wanting to improve skin texture and acne scars
Fair-to-medium skin tones that tolerate chemical peels well

A consultation will help determine the most appropriate peel type based on individual skin concerns and goals.

Techniques & Procedure

Types of Chemical Peels:

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels are one of the most effective and versatile peels, offering a range of treatment depths from light to deep resurfacing.

Mild TCA Peels – Improve skin tone, reduce mild discoloration, and refine pores
Medium-Depth TCA Peels – Target fine lines, deeper sun damage, and uneven skin tone
Deep TCA Peels – Treat more severe wrinkles, scarring, and sun damage

Deeper TCA peels typically require 2-3 days of recovery, while lighter peels may involve minimal downtime. Dr. T offers advanced chemical peels using higher concentrations, such as a 35% TCA peel — significantly more effective than the diluted versions commonly used in spas. Since only licensed medical doctors are authorized to perform these stronger, more transformative treatments, you can trust Dr. T to deliver safer, superior results.
