TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) 20% is a medium-depth chemical peel offering several benefits for the skin. Here are its advantages:
- Deep exfoliation: TCA 20% deeply exfoliates, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.
- Skin texture: Improves skin texture, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
- Hyperpigmentation: Fades hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun damage.
- Acne treatment: Reduces acne and acne scars.
- Skin renewal: Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity.
Precautions:
- TCA 20% is a strong peel; consult a dermatologist or skincare expert before use.
- Patch test before application.
- Avoid on broken or irritated skin.
- Use sunscreen daily, as skin will be sensitive to the sun.
Usage:
- Typically applied in-clinic by a professional.
- May require downtime (7-10 days) for skin to recover.
Consult a dermatologist or skincare expert before using TCA 20%, especially if you have sensitive skin.
