If you’re dealing with acne scars, signs of aging, sun damage, or hyperpigmentation, a TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel Treatment could be the answer. This powerful cosmetic treatment helps rejuvenate skin and deliver a smoother, more youthful complexion. At Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, our specialists use customized TCA peels to address a range of skin concerns, providing a tailored approach to help you achieve radiant skin.

What is a TCA Peel?

The TCA peel uses trichloroacetic acid, a derivative of vinegar, to remove the top layer of skin, exposing a fresh, new layer beneath. Available in concentrations ranging from 15% to 70%, TCA peels can be adjusted for varying depths to target specific skin issues. By chemically exfoliating the treatment area, this peel minimizes the appearance of acne scars, age spots, sun damage, and more, making it ideal for areas like the face, neck, chest, and hands.

Benefits of a TCA Peel Treatment

TCA peels provide numerous benefits, especially for those looking to improve skin tone and texture. Depending on the concentration, TCA peels can help achieve the following:

• Reduction of age spots and brown spots
• Improved skin texture and elasticity
• Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
• Diminished acne scars and melasma
• Enhanced skin hydration

How TCA Peels Work

During a TCA peel, the acid works by breaking down keratin, a natural protein in the skin, allowing dead skin cells to shed and reveal a healthier layer underneath. The depth of treatment depends on the peel’s concentration:

• Light Peels (10–15%): Best for minor hyperpigmentation and skin rejuvenation.
• Medium Peels (20–35%): Effective for treating moderate sun damage, wrinkles, and minor scarring.
• Deep Peels (30–35%): Used for severe wrinkles, deep scars, and precancerous skin lesions.

After the procedure, skin cells continue to renew and improve for several weeks, with visible results as the skin heals.

TCA Peel Results & Aftercare

TCA peel results are noticeable after the first treatment, with enhanced brightness, firmness, and even skin tone. Patients with significant skin concerns, like deep scarring or hyperpigmentation, may need a series of treatments spaced out over several months to achieve optimal results. After each session, follow specific aftercare instructions from your dermatologist, including:

• Use mild cleansers and avoid exfoliating products.
• Apply a high-SPF sunscreen to protect the healing skin.
• Avoid picking at peeling skin to prevent scarring.

Full recovery generally takes 7–14 days, during which the treated area will flake and peel, revealing rejuvenated skin beneath.

How Many TCA Peels Are Needed?

While improvements are visible after just one peel, patients with extensive skin concerns may need a series of treatments. Additional peels can be scheduled after a few weeks, and once desired results are achieved, maintenance peels can be done annually or biannually, depending on skin type and specific concerns.

Safety and Side Effects

TCA peels are safe for many skin types but require downtime, especially for medium-to-deep peels. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild itching, with some discoloration possible in very light or dark skin tones.
