The advantage of trichloroacetic (TCA) acid peels is that the degree and depth of penetration within the skin can be controlled . The concentration of TCA in the chemical peel is an important factor that alters the depth of the peel. Concentration can vary from 15 to 35%, with the higher concentrations leading to a deeper peel.

TCA chemical peels provide an intermediate level of improvement at an intermediate cost and recovery period

Peeling and flaking is usually completed in four to seven days.

The Obagi Blue Peel System is best for patients who want a fast procedure with dramatic results. In less than an hour, an in-office procedure, Obagi Blue Peel is effective for many skin conditions, including laxity, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, large pores, comedones and more.

Skin freshening, mild wrinkling and sun damage

Salicylic acid, a common beta hydroxy acid, has been used for treating acne for decades. In fact, acne treatment remains the primary use for beta hydroxy acids. Its effect on the epidermis and upper dermis are similar to those of Retin-A, but with less irritation. It is soluble in oil and can exfoliate oily skin areas, even within oil-rich pores. Therefore, it has a beneficial effect on acne,  pigmentation and sun damaged skin.

BHAs are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture, without the occasional irritation associated with the use of AHAs. BHA is believed to penetrate the skin more deeply than AHA, and is gentler.

Alpha hydroxy acids work mainly as an exfoliant. They cause the surface cells of the skin (epidermis) to become "unglued". This allows skin cells to slough off, making room for re-growth of younger-looking, new skin. In addition AHAs stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that is smooth in appearance and texture.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are the mildest of the chemical peel formulas and produce light skin peels. These types of peels can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin for people who can't spare the time to recover from the more intense chemical peels.

Please Do Not attempt chemical peels on your own. Internet-purchased chemicals can be dangerous and result in life-long pigment changes and scarring.

Skins with more pigmentation, such as Asian, Middle Eastern, Hispanic and Southern European my be more safely treated with the new eMatrix sublative resurfacing. eMatrix is not a laser, but accomplishes the same tasks with radio frequency to avoid post-treatment hyperpigmentation.
