What is a TCA Peel?

A TCA peel is a type of chemical peel that uses trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting new skin growth and revealing a smoother, more even complexion. TCA peels are especially effective in treating:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Acne scars
  • Uneven skin tone

What are the benefits of a TCA Peel?

  • Exfoliation: TCA peels effectively remove dead skin cells, revealing a refreshed layer of skin.
  • Skin Renewal: By promoting cell turnover, TCA peels can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin.
  • Improved Texture: TCA peels smooth rough patches and improve overall skin texture for a more youthful look.
  • Minimized Scarring: The peel helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other imperfections.

What happens during a TCA Peel?

During a TCA peel treatment, your provider will:

  1. Cleanse the skin to remove dirt and oil.
  2. Apply the TCA solution to the treatment area, where it will penetrate the outer layers of your skin.
  3. After a few minutes, the solution is neutralized, and a soothing cream is applied to help your skin heal.

You may experience redness and peeling in the days following your treatment, which is a normal part of the process as your skin regenerates.

How long do the results last?

The results of a TCA peel can be long-lasting, depending on your skin type and the severity of your concerns. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended. Many patients notice smoother, brighter skin after just one peel, with improvements continuing over several weeks.
