| TCA Peels
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) is an agent used for Chemical
Peels of the face, hands, and chest. This agent is applied in
different concentrations which depends on the site being
treated. The procedure is done in the office. Mild sun damage
and very fine wrinkles can be improved with TCA peels. Post-
pregnancy hyper pigmentation can also be treated with a TCA
peel. The degree on skin penetration and the effect of the peel
depends on the concentration of TCA. The procedure is done in
the office and may require mild sedation prior to starting.
Recovery is similar to that for CO2 Laser
Skin Resurfacing, but quicker because the peel is more
superficial that Laser. |
