Chemical Peels Customized for You
TCA has been used for decades in chemical peel treatments because of its predictability and efficacy. Depending upon the depth of resurfacing needed for optimal improvement, different concentrations of the acid are used in specific facial areas. For instance, the nose and central cheeks frequently have large pores and thick, tough skin, and the skin around the mouth is often yellowish because of the overgrown sebaceous glands underneath. These areas require stronger TCA, while the softer, thinner areas of skin, such as the outer cheeks, need less potency.
