Are there any side effects or risks associated with a TCA Peel?

Yes, there are some side effects and risks associated with TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) Peels. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and a burning sensation, which usually subside within a few days. Additionally, the treated area may experience post-peel flaking or peeling, temporary discoloration, or scabbing. However, these effects are usually temporary and can be managed with proper post-peel care. As for risks, TCA Peels, if not administered correctly or by a professional, may lead to skin infections, scarring, or pigmentation changes. Those with sensitive skin or specific medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders or keloid scarring should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing a TCA Peel to ensure its suitability and minimize potential risks.
