Chemical Peel in Texas: What to Know
Considering a chemical peel in Texas? Medium to deep peels, like TCA and phenol peels, are medical procedures regulated by the Texas Medical Board, typically performed in a plastic surgeon's or dermatologist's office. For instance, Town & Country Plastic Surgeons + Medspa in Houston offers the Obagi Blue Peel for deep wrinkles, while Texas Facial Aesthetics in Frisco provides deep-depth phenol-croton oil peels. The VI Peel, a popular medium-strength option, is widely available in Houston, Dallas, and Austin, noted for being safe for all skin tones.
To potentially save on your chemical peel, research facilities offering customized TCA peels, as concentrations can impact cost and results.
