TCA Peels

TCA peels provide transformative skin rejuvenation. These peels utilize trichloroacetic acid to address wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. By removing damaged outer layers, TCA peels reveal smoother, healthier skin. They stimulate collagen production and promote a more youthful appearance.

What is a TCA Peel?

The TCA peel is a medium to deep chemical peel that utilizes trichloroacetic acid as the main active ingredient. This acid works by destroying the cells in the outer layers of the skin, this triggers the body's natural healing response, where the unhealthy keratinocytes and replaced by healthy cells. As the skin heals, new collagen is formed. As a result, the peel helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fade hyperpigmentation, and enhance overall skin tone.


Indications and Benefits of TCA Peels:
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: TCA peels are highly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production, the peel helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, this leads to smoother, more youthful-looking skin and a reduction in the visible signs of aging.

  • Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation: TCA peels can effectively address sun damage, including sunspots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. The peel works by removing the damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresh, healthier skin underneath. It also helps to fade pigmentation irregularities, resulting in a more even and balanced skin tone.

  • Acne Scarring: TCA peels can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, particularly shallow scars. The peel promotes collagen production and skin remodeling, which helps to fill in depressed areas and improve skin texture. While deeper or more severe acne scars may require additional treatments, TCA peels can contribute to overall improvement and a smoother complexion.

  • Uneven Skin Texture and Tone: TCA peels are highly beneficial for improving skin texture and tone. The peel exfoliates the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and encouraging the growth of new cells. This helps to smooth out roughness, minimize pore size, and enhance the overall appearance and texture of the skin.

  • Melasma: TCA peels can be an effective treatment option for melasma, a condition characterized by dark patches on the skin. The peel works by exfoliating the hyperpigmented areas and stimulating cell turnover, resulting in a more even skin tone. However, it is important to note that melasma is a complex condition, and a comprehensive treatment approach may involve a combination of treatments and ongoing maintenance.


Benefits of TCA Peels:
  • Enhanced Skin Radiance: TCA peels remove dead skin cells and promote a healthy, radiant glow, revitalizing your complexion and restoring a youthful appearance.

  • Improved Skin Texture and Firmness: By stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover, TCA peels help to improve skin texture, reduce roughness, and enhance skin firmness.

  • Even Skin Tone: TCA peels fade hyperpigmentation and help to even out skin tone, revealing a more balanced and uniform complexion.

  • Reduced Signs of Aging: TCA peels target fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.
