TCA Peel 1.0pH 2oz

TCA is a non-toxic chemical (trichloracetic acid) and is a relative of vinegar (acetic acid) with a M.W of 163.38. When TCA is applied to the skin, it causes the top layers of cells to dry up and peel off over a period of seven to ten days. When the old skin is peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin, which has a smoother texture and more even color. TCA peels are most commonly used to reduce brown spots and age spots, improve the texture of leathery, sun-damaged skin and improve melasma. TCA can also help treat post-inflammatory pigmentation and light acne scarring.Our 15% TCA has a pH of 1.0 and is best suited for Fitzpatrick’s 1, 2, & 3 and should be performed by an Experienced Aesthetician. Experienced Aestheticians can perform this treatment on Fitzpatrick’s 4 with extreme caution. Lighter TCA peels performed by Aestheticians are usually done in a series of 2 or 3 for best results. Medium Depth TCA will be performed by a Medical Aesthetician.*Caution* Results and
