Chemical Peels | NYC

Overtime, due to the effects of aging and the environment, the outer layers of the skin become dull, rough, and there are age spots, discoloration, wrinkles and scarring. A chemical peel in NYC improves the skin's appearance by destroying and removing the damaged outer layers of skin and forcing the stem cells to make new skin. 

Several peels are available including TCA (tricholoroacetic acid), which is the most effective in removing the old skin and allowing new skin to rejuvenate. TCA peels are used to treat fine surface wrinkles, blemishes, scarring and pigmentation problems. During the procedure, most patients experience a warm sensation lasting about 5 to 10 minutes. After the treatment, there may be a sun-burn like appearance with redness and scaling for a few days to a week.

The result is the outer layers of skin have been removed and replaced by younger layers producing a healthy, glowing appearance. The texture of the skin is smooth, scarring is reduced and blemishes removed.
