What Is a TCA Peel and How Does It Work?

• TCA peels use trichloroacetic acid to remove the top layer of skin, and come in a variety of concentrations.
• Downtime can vary from none at all to three weeks, depending on the intensity of the peel.
• TCA peels can burn or sting, but the pain doesn’t usually last beyond the duration of the treatment.
