🍊 TCA Peel (Trichloroacetic Acid Peel)
A TCA Peel is a chemical peel that uses trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. The peel’s intensity depends on the acid concentration, allowing customization for different skin concerns and desired results.
✨ How It Works
Performed by a trained professional, the treatment includes:
- Cleansing & Preparation – Skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and impurities.
- Acid Application – A TCA solution is carefully applied to the skin, causing controlled exfoliation of the outer layers.
- Chemical Reaction & Peeling – The acid creates a mild, controlled injury, triggering the skin’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production and cell turnover.
- Post-Treatment Care – Neutralizing solutions, soothing masks, and moisturizers are applied to calm and protect the skin.
Recovery depends on peel strength; deeper peels typically require more downtime.
🌟 Benefits
- Improves Skin Texture – Smooths rough patches for a more even surface.
- Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen to firm the skin and reduce signs of aging.
- Treats Acne Scars & Pigmentation – Helps fade dark spots, sun damage, and acne scars.
- Brightens Skin Tone – Reduces dullness for a radiant, refreshed complexion.
- Reduces Sun Damage – Corrects sunspots and uneven pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
