Here at Tru-Skin, we have several different types and strengths of peels to offer our patients. This allows us to customize treatments specifically for our patients’ individual skin types and needs. Some of our alpha-hydroxy acid peels include glycolic and mandelic acid peels, which are wonderful for anti-aging as well as some acne-prone skin types. In addition, we have some blended peels such as Jessner’s acid peels that are effective for both acne and skin suffering from melasma, which is a patchy type of hyperpigmentation (brown spot) caused by hormonal imbalances and sun exposure. Salicylic acid peels are very effective at treating acne, as they efficiently exfoliate the skin including the pores, normalize oil production, and kill C. acnes bacteria. In addition, salicylic acid helps reduce inflammation in the skin, so it’s beneficial in treating both acne and rosacea, which are inflammatory skin conditions. TCA Peels are wonderful for improving textural irregularities, melasma, and congested pores, but may penetrate deeper than other peels depending on the strength used. We also offer some cosmetic name brand peels, such as VI Peel and The Perfect Derma Peel, which can cause up to a week of peeling on average, and leave your skin fresh and glowing. We here at Tru-Skin Dermatology are ready to customize your procedure plan for optimal results.
