TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is a powerful chemical peel that removes outer skin layers so newer, healthier skin emerges. TCA peels improve overall tone and texture, shrink pores, even pigmentation, and smooth acne scars. Downtime involves skin peeling before renewed skin appears. Recovery time depends on peel depth. TCA peels can be combined with other rejuvenating treatments for enhanced results. Our physicians perform deeper, more potent TCA peels than those done by our medspa team.
