Skin Care Treatments Including Chemical Peels

Individuals who show visible signs of aging on their skin and who are interested in less invasive treatments than traditional cosmetic surgery procedures such as a facelift or brow lift can opt for one of the non-surgical aesthetic procedures offered at Forma Plastic Surgery. our doctors provide a variety of medical-grade aesthetic treatments to address the signs of aging, such as photodynamic acne therapy, chemical peels, and more. We also offer the most popular skin care products, such as Obagi®, NIA 24™, PREVAGE® MD, and SkinCeuticals™ to help patients attain healthy and lustrous skin.

Medical-Grade Chemical Peels

We offer a variety of highly effective chemical peels to patients for the treatment of acne, fine lines, wrinkles, discolorations, and other skin issues. Chemical peels work by removing damaged layers of skin to reveal healthier skin underneath. We provide each patient with a specially customized chemical peel treatment that best meets the patient's needs. Patients who undergo a chemical peel may experience tingling, reddening, and peeling of the skin for a few days after the procedure. However, side effects are mild and disappear as the skin adjusts to the treatment, resulting in beautiful, glowing facial skin.

Glycolic Acid Chemical Peels

Glycolic acid peels are the gentlest chemical peels we offer at our Scottsdale and Phoenix locations. Made from glycolic acid derived from sugar cane, these light chemical peels exfoliate layers of skin damaged from sun exposure, acne, and other factors. Glycolic acid peels also eliminate fine lines and effectively address rough, dry, or discolored skin. The glycolic acid also stimulates collagen and elastin production, key for youthful, healthy skin. After just ten minutes of treatment, you can achieve younger, smoother skin and a more even skin tone.

TCA Chemical Peels

For patients who desire more dramatic results, we also offer TCA chemical peels. TCA chemical peels are performed with trichloroacetic acid and offer an effective and non-invasive solution to acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and skin discolorations. The trichloroacetic acid removes layers of dull or dead skin cells, revealing brighter, fresher skin with an improved tone and texture. Patients can benefit from radiant skin after just fifteen minutes of treatment. A series of chemical peels spread over several months may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
