What Is a Medical-Grade TCA Peel?

A medical-grade TCA peel is a potent solution that must be administered by a trained professional to ensure safety and efficacy. The strength of the TCA peel varies depending on the concentration of trichloroacetic acid used. Our TCA peel features a 20-25% concentration, which is considered a moderate strength. This peel can address a variety of skin concerns, including improving texture, correcting sun damage, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing skin tone.

The Treatment Procedure

The TCA peel treatment is quick and straightforward. The process begins with cleansing your skin using acetone to ensure the peel interacts effectively with your skin. For a smoother experience, we recommend not wearing makeup to your appointment. After your skin is cleansed, an ointment is applied to protect sensitive areas like your lips. The peel is then applied, which may feel warm and cause a tingling sensation. Once the peel has worked its magic, your skin is cooled with cold water, and a soothing balm is applied to protect it.

Medical-Grade TCA Peel Results

After a TCA peel, expect around 7-14 days of downtime as your skin heals. During this period, it’s important to follow aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. Once your skin has fully healed, you’ll notice an improvement in skin texture, tone, and a reduction in imperfections such as sun damage and acne scars. For even better results, this peel can be repeated as needed, so feel free to contact our office to schedule a follow-up appointment.
