A TCA peel is a cosmetic treatment using Trichloroacetic acid to remove the top layer of the skin and promote skin cell turnover. This highly-sought after skin treatment helps reduce hyperpigmentation, fine lines, sun damage and acne scars. It’s also great for keeping a refreshed and youthful look.
After your treatment, you typically begin to peel on the 3rd day and continue peeling for 3-5 days. This varies between patients as everyone is different. Popular areas where peels are used include the face, neck and decollete. Most patients use TCA peels to reduce sunspots and fine lines and book their peels four to six times per year. Results start to show after the first treatment. For the best results, an initial series of 3-5 peels is recommended with maintenance two times per year.
