TCA Chemical Peel
TCA Chemical Peel
A TCA chemical peel is a non-invasive, medium-depth chemical peel using trichloroacetic acid. TCA peels away the dead skin cells in the epidermis revealing new smoother skin cells that are less affected by imperfections such as pigmentation or scarring. A layer of fresh skin cells become visible while new cell growth is encouraged beneath. It is suitable for all skin types.
Only a medical professional can administer a TCA peel.
