Description

Professional-Grade Medium-Depth Chemical Peel for Skin Resurfacing and Rejuvenation

TCA 20% Solution is a medium-strength chemical peeling agent used by dermatologists and trained medical professionals to treat a wide range of cosmetic and dermatologic skin concerns, including photoaging, fine lines, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and skin texture irregularities. Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade Trichloroacetic Acid, this 20% concentration provides controlled epidermal exfoliation and dermal regeneration without the downtime associated with deeper chemical procedures.

This solution is packaged in a 30mL bottle and is intended for professional use only under clinical protocols.

Key Benefits

• Stimulates epidermal exfoliation and collagen remodeling

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and early photoaging

• Diminishes acne scars, superficial blemishes, and rough skin texture

• Helps fade sunspots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

• Improves skin tone uniformity, brightness, and overall clarity

• Safe for use on the face, neck, chest, back, and hands in appropriate skin types

What Is TCA and How Does It Work?

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) is a non-toxic chemical derivative of acetic acid that has long been used in medical-grade peels to promote skin shedding and renewal. At 20% concentration, TCA induces a medium-depth peel that penetrates the epidermis and upper dermis, initiating controlled injury and subsequent regeneration of the skin. This process promotes:

• Exfoliation of damaged and pigmented skin cells

• Stimulation of fibroblasts for new collagen and elastin formation

• Replacement of dull, scarred, or sun-damaged skin with smoother, clearer tissue

TCA peels are highly customizable, as results can be modulated by the number of layers applied, application method, and skin preparation.

Indications

TCA 20% Solution is indicated for professional use in the treatment of:

• Superficial to moderate acne scars

• Photoaging and fine lines

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Freckles, sunspots, and solar lentigines

• Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Actinic keratoses (under clinical protocols)

• Stretch marks (as part of multi-step treatments)

It can be used on the face, décolleté, back, arms, or other body areas, as deemed appropriate by a licensed practitioner.

Application Protocol (By Professionals Only)

1. Cleanse and degrease the skin thoroughly using an alcohol or acetone-based prep.

2. Apply TCA 20% using a cotton-tipped applicator or gauze in a thin, even layer.

3. Allow the solution to penetrate. Frosting (white discoloration) may occur in treated areas.

4. Neutralization is not required—TCA is self-limiting but may be washed off with water after the desired depth is achieved.

5. Apply post-peel occlusive or healing agents as needed.

Peeling begins within 48–72 hours and may last up to 5–7 days, depending on skin sensitivity and treatment area.

Post-Peel Care

• Keep skin hydrated and apply bland emollients as directed

• Avoid sun exposure completely during the peeling phase

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily after healing

• Avoid using retinoids, acids, or exfoliants until fully re-epithelialized

• Do not pick, peel, or manually exfoliate flaking skin

Patients should be advised about downtime, expected peeling, and potential transient redness.

Safety & Precautions

• For external, professional use only

• Not intended for at-home use

• Avoid use in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals

• Do not use on open wounds, active acne lesions, infections, or hypersensitive skin

• Use caution in Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI, where risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation is higher

• Not recommended for frequent or overlapping peels without clinical indication

Adverse effects may include erythema, irritation, dryness, prolonged peeling, PIH, or rare occurrences of scarring with improper use.
