Chemical Peels by Atlanta's Byrd Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Center

Your skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells. Every day thousands of cells die fall off and are replaced by new cells from below. Unfortunately, as we age this becomes a slower and more haphazard process, making your skin unable to shed dark blotches, sun damage, or a dull, lifeless complexion. The function of a skin peel is to create an even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells. This exposes a new fresh layer of skin with a more even color and a smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.

There are several types of peels, each using a different chemical to create this peeling effect. Light and medium depth peels use the chemical TCA (Trichloracetic Acid) to create their peel.

TCA peels can effectively improve many conditions, including:

Dull, weathered skin
Freckling
Blotchy pigmentation (including the mask of pregnancy)
Sun damage (including precancerous lesions)
Fine wrinkles
Shallow acne scars

TCA is a non-toxic chemical that has been used to perform skin peels for over 30 years. Unlike some other types of peels, TCA peels have the additional advantage of creating a fresh, natural appearing-complexion, while preserving normal skin color. For this reason, they are often referred to as "freshening peels". Although one peel can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, some skin problems are deeper than others. It is possible that you may require more than one peel to achieve your best results.

TCA peels are performed as an outpatient procedure in the office. A solution containing TCA is applied to your skin. There is essentially no downtime with a light TCA peel. During the healing process there is no pain, but the skin looks as if it has sunburn. After the first two or three days you will begin to notice shedding of the skin. Within 1 week the process is complete.

Most people have similar aging and sun damage changes on the neck, chest and hands as are present on the face. Fortunately, TCA peels can be performed successfully all these other non-facial areas as well.
