Does a Strong TCA Peel Tighten the Skin at All?

October 30, 2009
Asked By:change111 in Los Angeles, CA

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!
