FAQ
What is a TCA Chemical Peel?
A medium-depth TCA (Trichloracetic Acid) peel is a quick, mild downtime procedure that renews the skin by lifting dead cells off the surface of your skin and stimulating the metabolism of the cells underneath.
With a series of TCA Peels, you can quickly achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, while making your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced.
When it comes to TCA Peel treatments, there are two options available at our practice; the Skin Tech TCA Pain Control peel, and the Mesoestetic Melanoplus TCA peel.
Who is a good candidate for a TCA Chemical Peel?
TCA Chemical Peels are clinically proven to target the signs of:

- Enlarged pores

- Pigmentation
- Sun damage

- Skin surface prep (cleanse)
- Prescribed TCA Chemical Peel application
