Understanding Chemical Peel Treatments in Sarasota
Chemical peels are a safe and effective method to address skin irregularities by removing the top layer of skin. These advanced treatments reveal a fresh, renewed skin layer and stimulate new tissue growth. At Braun H. Graham, MD, FACS, chemical peels are performed as part of a comprehensive, customizable skincare program.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Chemical Peels
Superficial or light peels target the outermost skin layer (epidermis). These gentle treatments use mild chemicals like alpha and beta hydroxy acids, including:
- Glycolic acid
- Lactic acid
- Salicylic acid
- Maleic acid
Medium Chemical Peels
Medium chemical peels penetrate the epidermis and upper dermis using trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These minimally invasive procedures can cause minor discomfort but provide more substantial skin rejuvenation.
Deep Chemical Peels
Deep chemical peels reach the lower middle skin layer, effectively addressing significant skin concerns like deep wrinkles, extensive sun damage, and prominent scarring.
