PCA Chemical Peel
PCA chemical peels are light to moderate chemical peels that can
exfoliate, tighten, smooth, and improve the texture and appearance of
the facial skin and some other body areas. PCA chemical peels contain
AHAs, or alphahydroxy acids, which are the gentlest and lightest
chemical peels available. There are different types of PCA chemical peels
that are designed to address specific skin conditions. PCA chemical
peels can be very effective at treating facial blemishes and acne, uneven
skin pigmentation, fine wrinkles, and damage caused by the sun, aging,
and other sources of skin imperfections.
In addition to AHAs, PCA chemical peels also include other chemicals
that are formulated to treat specific skin needs. Some PCA chemical
peels have hydroquinone constituents which are good for treating sun
damage, pigment discolorations, and acne. For patients who are
sensitive to hydroquinone, there are PCA chemical peels without it that
are also useful for unclogging pores, treating acne, and rejuvenating
the skin. Some formulations of PCA chemical peels have both
hydroquinone and resorcinol. These PCA chemical peels are the most
potent and are good for more extreme skin imperfections. Patients with
active or cystic acne, extreme sun damage, and asphyxiated skin are
usually the best candidates for these PCA chemical peels.
When PCA chemical peels are administered they usually do not require
anesthesia, though a sedative may be helpful during treatment. The process
usually takes less than an hour and there is generally little downtime after
PCA chemical peels. It is normal for patients to experience some temporary
redness, flaking, scaling, and/or dryness which usually resolves as the skin
adjusts to PCA chemical peels. In order to achieve the desired results, a
patient will often need a series of PCA chemical peels. A doctor can discuss
this and other specific needs with patients on an individual basis. PCA
chemical peels are a safe and effective way to treat skin imperfections and
enhance the vibrancy and youthfulness of the skin.
