Chemical Peels

TCA Chemical Peel

The TCA (tricholoroacetic acid) Peel is prepared and administered by our physicians. A medium depth chemical peel will not only improve the color, freshness, and texture of your face, but it also helps to improve skin tone and reduce the visibility of fine lines and superficial discoloration, such as age spots. It may improve blotchiness and can also improve dark circles under your eyes.

The TCA Peel is typically performed right here in our office while the patient is under a local anesthesia. Downtime may exceed 1-2 weeks depending upon each patient’s health background. The trichyloracidic acid peels typically result in significant edema of the skin with some swelling as well.

The average duration of medium chemical peels is anywhere from six months to two years.

Allow extra time when arriving for your appointment, due to the ongoing construction for the new Alexandria Hospital, please expect changes to our parking lot.
