SkinCeuticals Smart TCA Peel
The SkinCeuticals Smart TCA Peel in Richmond is a 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel that significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pores, lax skin, and stubborn discoloration. TCA is a self-neutralizing acid that targets and dissolves specific skin proteins, leading to the exfoliation of dead, dry skin cells. As these layers of damaged skin gradually shed, healthier and brighter skin is revealed.
Lower-strength TCA peels affect only the outermost layer of skin, but medium-strength peels can penetrate further into the dermis to treat damage in deeper layers of skin. The Smart TCA Peel is safe for most skin types and tones, and results are consistent and predictable. Additionally, you can enjoy the benefits of rejuvenated skin with only 5-7 days of minimal downtime for recovery.
Benefits of a SkinCeuticals TCA Peel
The SkinCeuticals Smart TCA Peel at our Richmond office significantly improves multiple skin concerns. Because TCA is self-neutralizing, treatments are generally quicker and safer. The other key component in a TCA peel is 3% glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that is derived from sugar cane. It accelerates your skin’s natural exfoliation process and improves the appearance of tone and texture. AHA also enhances peel penetration for optimal results.
While TCA peels are most commonly used to treat the skin on the face and neck, they may also be applied to other areas of concern, including the back, arms, chest, legs, or other areas of the body frequently exposed to UV damage. Depending on the strength of the chemical peel, our treatments can help you achieve numerous noticeable improvements to your skin, including:
- Increased skin elasticity
- More supple, hydrated skin
- Reduction in age spots or other areas of hyperpigmentation, such as melasma
- Decrease in lines and wrinkles
- Diminished scarring
- Less frequent acne breakouts
The strength of your TCA peel will depend on multiple factors, including the type and severity of your skincare concerns. Our team will recommend the best treatment approach to achieve your aesthetic goals during a comprehensive consultation. How long your results last and how many treatments you need depends on the depth of your peel and the extent of your current skin damage.
