TCA Peel: Everything You Need to Know

If you’re looking for a powerful way to resurface your skin, reduce pigmentation, and boost collagen, a TCA peel (Trichloroacetic Acid peel) might be the perfect solution. This chemical peel is widely used to treat various skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to hyperpigmentation and acne scars.

What is a TCA Peel?

TCA peel is a medium to deep-depth chemical peel that uses trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate the skin and stimulate new cell turnover. It works by removing the damaged outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, more even-toned, and youthful skin underneath.

Key Benefits of a TCA Peel:

✅Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
✅ Evens out skin tone and texture
✅ Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation
✅ Minimizes acne scars
✅ Improves skin elasticity and firmness
✅ Helps treat sun damage and melasma

How Does a TCA Peel Work?

The Process:

1️⃣ Cleansing – Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils or impurities.
2️⃣ Application – A TCA solution is applied evenly to the skin. You may feel a mild tingling or burning sensation.
3️⃣ Neutralization (if needed) – Some peels self-neutralize, while others require a neutralizing solution.
4️⃣ Peeling & Recovery – Over the next 3-7 days, the skin will peel and flake, revealing new, fresh skin underneath.

Types of TCA Peels

🔹 Superficial TCA Peel (10-15%)
✔ Targets mild hyperpigmentation, dullness, and fine lines
✔ Little to no downtime, mild peeling
✔ Suitable for all skin types

🔹 Medium TCA Peel (20-35%)
✔ Treats moderate wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars
✔ 5-7 days of peeling and recovery
✔ Best for light to medium skin tones

🔹 Deep TCA Peel (50% and above)
✔ Used for severe wrinkles, deep scars, and significant sun damage
✔ Longer downtime (7-10+ days of peeling and redness)
✔ Best performed by a licensed professional

What to Expect After a TCA Peel

🔸 Day 1-2: Skin may feel tight, red, and slightly swollen.
🔸 Day 3-4: Peeling begins, starting around the mouth and spreading outward.
🔸 Day 5-7: Peeling intensifies, revealing fresh, smooth skin underneath.
🔸 Day 7+: Most peeling is complete, and skin looks brighter and more even-toned.

Aftercare Tips for the Best Results

✔ Keep skin moisturized with a gentle, hydrating cream.
✔ Avoid picking or peeling the skin to prevent scarring.
✔ Use SPF 30+ daily to protect fresh skin from sun damage.
✔ Avoid active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, and harsh exfoliants) for at least one week.
✔ Stay hydrated and follow a gentle skincare routine.
