TCA peel
Tca peel refers to trichloroacetic acid peel. This is a type of chemical peel that can be used for facial rejuvenation. It can be a superficial or medium depth peel, depending on how it is done. When used as a medium depth peel, it usually causes about a week of significant redness, but the cosmetic improvements can be equally as dramatic.
