What is TRICHLOROACETIC ACID (TCA) Treatment?

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Treatment is a professional chemical peeling procedure designed to improve skin texture, skin tone, pigmentation, acne scars, and signs of aging. TCA works by exfoliating damaged outer skin layers and stimulating new skin regeneration, resulting in smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.

Depending on the concentration used, TCA peels can provide superficial to medium-depth skin rejuvenation with noticeable improvement in various skin concerns.
