PCA Peels:
"Physicians Choice" of Arizona (PCA) offers a variety of naturally-occurring "fruit" acid peels to improve and enhance your appearance.
These treatments will reduce the depth of surface lines, smooth out rough texture, help fade brown spots and assist in drying out acne/blemished skin.

What are some indications for a PCA peel?
• Sun damaged skin/pigmentation disorder
• Smokers skin
• Active acne
• Aging skin
• Rosacea
How much downtime is expected with a peel?
There is no downtime with a PCA peel. You can receive a peel on your lunch hour and return to work.
When will I start "peeling", for how long, and how much?
Every ones experience will be different. However, on average, you will see flaking by day two or three following the treatment, which may last up to six days. With all PCA peels only light to medium exfoliation will be experienced.
How irritating is a peel?
The PCA peels are only slightly irritating. You may experience mild burning or stinging which is transient.
What is the difference between PCA peels and glycolic peels?
Glycolic acid will dehydrate the skin and make pores larger after extended use. "Physicians Choice" uses lactic and citric acids, which are all, skin friendly. In addition to AHAs, PCA chemical peels also include other chemicals that are formulated to treat specific skin needs.
Some PCA chemical peels have hydroquinone constituents which are good for treating sun damage, pigment discolorations, and acne. For patients who are sensitive to hydroquinone, there are PCA chemical peels that do not have this chemical that are useful for unclogging pores, treating acne, and rejuvenating the skin.
Some formulations of PCA chemical peels have both hydroquinone and resorcinol. These PCA chemical peels are the most potent and are good for more extreme skin imperfections. Patients with active or cystic acne, extreme sun damage, and asphyxiated skin are usually the best candidates for these PCA chemical peels.

Accent Radio Frequency Skin Tightening – RF FACIAL
Accent Radio frequency skin tightening is a novel non-surgical approach to tightening skin and some of the deeper skin structures. Accent Radio frequency uses energy to create a field of deep dermal heating. The heat is of a therapeutic nature, which causes both immediate and delayed collagen improvements. The immediate improvements are a result of existing collagen contraction. The delayed improvements are due to the induction of new collagen formation.
This process is considered a non-downtime procedure. There is generally no injury to the skin's surface. It is normal to see some redness and mild swelling for a day or two after this procedure. This treatment is usually done once to twice, the treatments separated by one to two months.
The treatment process involves:
• skin cleansing
• no freezing cream or pain medications are needed for this comfortable procedure
• a soothing liquid placed on the skin for better transmission of the Accent radio frequency energy
• treatment begins – Accent radio frequency is felt as deep heating briefly with each pulse
After a treatment:
• The skin may be pink and puffy for a few hours to a few days.
• The skin may be mildly tender such as it would after deep sunburn - Advil, Tylenol or cool compresses may be used to soothe the skin.
• The waiting begins. This process requires several months for your own natural collagen to develop.
Although this procedure is considered safe, any active treatment has some potential side effects. Besides the normal after effects described above, true side effects would be longer lasting redness or puffiness, and occasional sun burn-like blistering. It is extremely rare to have dimpling of the skin, but when this technology was first developed, there were a few reported cases. This dimpling, although rare, was permanent. The techniques used and the machines used have evolved over time, and this dimpling is now a rare occurrence.
