Chemical Peel for Sun Damage – Before and After
In addition to skin cancer, sun damage can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and freckles, making skin appear older than it is. While there are many advanced options for skin rejuvenation—such as lasers, PRP, rf microneedling, and more—chemical peels remain one of the most effective and time-tested treatments for improving sun-damaged skin.
A TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel is particularly effective for sun damage, as well as for concerns such as wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. This type of peel works by removing the outer layers of damaged skin, allowing new, healthier skin to emerge. It also stimulates collagen production for smoother texture and a more even tone.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a TCA Peel?
TCA peels are best suited for patients with lighter skin types, as the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is lower. Patients with darker skin can also benefit, but may require pretreatment with hydroquinone to help reduce the risk of PIH. Unlike superficial peels, which often have little to no downtime, TCA peels can involve several days of visible peeling and redness.
Noticeable Results After One Treatment
In the chemical peel for sun damage before and after results shown here, the skin appears smoother, brighter, and more even after just one TCA 30 peel session. Softer fine lines, reduced pigmentation, and faded freckles—demonstrates how powerful even a single treatment can be.
Whether you’re considering a chemical peel for wrinkles improvement, freckles, or targeted sun damage correction, a TCA peel can deliver transformative results.
