My TCA Facial Peel Experience

I mentioned in my skincare routine post here that I regularly treat my face with chemical peels as a way to improve the texture of my skin and minimize the signs of aging and sun damage. For a little over a year, I've been doing in home TCA treatments every 60 to 90 days.

TCA, or trichloroacetic acid is used on the facial skin to provide a medium depth peel that is useful for several reasons. This type of peel can smooth out fine wrinkles, remove blemishes and help correct pigmentation issues including sun damage. People who get mild TCA peels notice improvements over time, rather than a dramatic improvement after one treatment. You will notice that your skin is smoother and refreshed after one peel but treatments are somewhat cumulative. After 3 or 4 peels, you should begin to notice more dramatic changes to your skin.
