TCA Chemical Peel

Professional-grade rejuvenation to address deep texture issues, pigment, and signs of aging.

Trichloroacetic Acid

TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Chemical Peel is a powerful skin resurfacing treatment designed to reduce hyperpigmentation, acne scars, dark spots, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. This advanced peel works by penetrating deeper into the skin than topical treatments, exfoliating damaged layers and stimulating new collagen production. It is highly effective for men and women dealing with discoloration caused by acne, ingrown hairs, breakouts, and excess oil buildup.

During the treatment, carefully applied layers of TCA solution encourage controlled peeling over 6–8 days. Peeling typically begins around day two, starting near the chin and progressing upward until complete. As darker, damaged skin lifts away, newer, clearer, and more even-toned skin is revealed. The depth and percentage of the peel are customized based on the level of hyperpigmentation and desired results. TCA peels can be safely performed on the face and body, making them ideal for treating large areas of discoloration and improving overall skin clarity.

Protein Denaturation Science

Cellular Epidermolysis

TCA works by coagulating skin proteins, a process visible as "frosting" during the treatment. This signals the precisely controlled destruction of damaged skin cells in the epidermis and papillary dermis. As the old skin peels away over the following week, it is replaced by vibrant new tissue. Simultaneously, the chemical reaction stimulates fibroblast activity in the deeper layers, boosting collagen and elastin production for long-term structural improvement.

The Treatment Journey

1

Deep Degreasing

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped with an alcohol or acetone solution to ensure even acid penetration.

Acid Application

The TCA solution is applied in layers. You may feel a significant warming or stinging sensation for 2-3 minutes.

3

The Peel Phase

Over the next 7 days, your skin will darken and eventually peel away, revealing new, clear skin.
