TCA Peels do good for a little tightening and an overall refreshening to the face

David Hansen, MD answers: Does a strong TCA peel tighten the skin at all?

Hello there! I'm 41 with very white thick skin (good tone, large pores though!). I do have nasolabial lines and very fine skin under my eyes (so I usually do Restylane). I'm looking for more or less a little "tightening" around those areas (nothing beats surgery, but I am not needing that just yet). I thought of a strong TCA peel as I've tried the Titan and Thermage (over 2 years ago) and felt for the price, they did OK. Erbium lasers I think are too weak, but would love some feedback as everyone here is excellent! Thanks everyone!

TCA Peels are greatly under-utilized since they do nice to tighten the skin and soften wrinkles and give that great refreshed look to the face. I recommend at least a yearly TCA peel for everyone. In your case the TCA peels should do well. A medium TCA runs $750-1500 for the face. You will still probably need fillers for the nasolabial areas but should be fine for the rest of the face.
