What should I expect during a TCA Peel?

During a TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel, you can expect a few things. Firstly, the procedure begins with thorough cleansing of your face. Then, a TCA solution is applied to your skin, which may cause a slight tingling or burning sensation. As the solution penetrates deep into the skin, you may experience a mild stinging sensation, similar to a sunburn. This process usually lasts for a few minutes. Afterward, your skin will gradually start to peel, revealing a fresh layer of healthy skin underneath. Expect some redness, tightness, and flaking during the peeling process, which typically lasts for about a week. It is crucial to follow post-peel care instructions provided by your dermatologist to ensure proper healing and achieve the desired results. Overall, expect a safe and effective treatment that helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and even out skin tone.
