Trichloracetic acid removes skin layers aged and damaged by biological processes and external aggressions. It acts by producing denaturalization of skin proteins. As a consequence, there is a destruction of the epidermic layer, which will be replaced by a new epidermis and a new connective tissue. TCA peeling is considered to be one of the strongest available. TCA peel is most commonly used to:
Reduce fine lines.
Reduce the appearance of age spots and brown spots.
Treat some forms of acne.
Improve the appearance of sun-damaged, leathery-looking skin.
Improve symptoms of melasma.
