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)
- Cleanse and degrease the skin thoroughly using an alcohol or acetone-based prep.
- Apply TCA 20% using a cotton-tipped applicator or gauze in a thin, even layer.
- Allow the solution to penetrate. Frosting (white discoloration) may occur in treated areas.
- Neutralization is not required—TCA is self-limiting but may be washed off with water after the desired depth is achieved.
- 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.
