Chegar Facial Plastic Surgery is proud to offer a full line of PCA Skin® treatments that are customized to your individual skin care needs. These professional treatment protocols focus on breaking through the stratum corneum (the outer layer of the skin) to nourish the underlying dermis, as opposed to simply stripping away the surface. PCA Skin’s progressive approach leads to dramatic results without unnecessary and unwanted trauma or downtime.
