Understanding Chemical Peels: Advanced Skin Rejuvenation Technique

Chemical peels represent a sophisticated non-surgical method of skin rejuvenation. The technique leverages the natural healing process by creating a controlled, partial-thickness skin injury that stimulates new skin cell growth and regeneration.

How Chemical Peels Work

The fundamental principle of chemical peels involves replicating the skin renewal process observed after a burn blister heals. By producing a controlled injury equivalent to a first or second-degree burn, the treatment encourages skin regeneration.

TCA Chemical Peel: A Precise Approach

Dr. Boyd specializes in the Trichloracetic (TCA) chemical peel, an advanced technique using a vinegar-related acid. This method offers predictable, safe results that can be applied to multiple areas, including:

• Eyelids
• Face
• Neck
• Chest
• Back of hands

Treatment Process and Expectations

The TCA chemical peel procedure is performed in-office without requiring general anesthesia. Patients can expect a mild stinging sensation for approximately 10 minutes, followed by numbness. Over the subsequent week, skin peels similarly to a sunburn, revealing smoother, pinker skin underneath.

Key Treatment Characteristics

• No general anesthetic required
• Office-based procedure
• Repeatable every 2 years
• Targets sunspots and skin blemishes

Complementary Procedures

Chemical peels can be performed independently or combined with other cosmetic procedures like facelifts or blepharoplasty to enhance overall aesthetic outcomes.
