What is the LA Peel

The LA peeling solution is a superficial to mid depth peel comprised of three different peeling agents in an ethanol base. Each agent acts in a slightly different manner, making the solution highly effective and predictable. This peeling agent provides significant visible exfoliation with minimal complications and is simple to use.

*Patients who are pregnant or lactating should not undergo an LA peel.*

An LA Peel smoothes and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin. It is indicated for patients with mild to severe acne, melasma, moderate wrinkling, and actinic damage. Multiple areas can be treated at the same time. Peeling the face, neck, hands, and upper chest is quite effective. This peeling agent is excellent for all skin types. Ethnic and darker skin types should exercise caution and offer the patient a series of light peels.

Adding successive layers to the skin controls the depth or level of the peel. During a peel, an even layer of the solution is applied and allowed to dry without neutralizing. The LA peel is self-limiting and is left on the skin. After the initial layer is dry, a second layer can be applied to achieve deeper penetration. White milky frosting occurs and signifies the endpoint for layers added. Even frosting signifies a uniform, even peel.
