TCA Peelin Philadelphia

The purpose of a TCA peel is to improve the appearance and texture of the skin, to ward off aging, and to even out skin tone.

However, a TCA peel can also have other positive impacts, particularly on hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne. To find out if you are a good candidate for this treatment, you must meet with our experienced oculoplastic and facial cosmetic surgeons in the greater Philadelphia area.

A TCA peel has the active ingredient of trichloroacetic acid.

This type of chemical peel can be superficial, medium or deep. At our practice, we provide a medium TCA peel to improve skin marred by:

• Pigment inconsistencies
• Ice Pick Scars
• Dilated Pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Age spots

Your Philadelphia TCA peel will be applied by the physician at our Suite 202 medical spa, which features comfortable, relaxing furnishings and a calming, serene atmosphere. Depending on the goals you and your surgeon discuss, the peel may be applied to the problem areas.

There is some downtime associated with this type of peel. During your TCA peel the outer layer of skin cells is sloughed away. Then your skin begins to heal, producing new collagen and a healthy, fresh glow. While your damaged, worn skin cells are being removed, your face may appear red, flakey and may otherwise look a little unsightly. With a TCA Peel Philadelphia patients may choose to stay home from work or social activities as this process may take several days.
