MEDPEEL CONTROL: TRICHLOROACETIC
Classification: An analogue of Acetic Acid (a natural acid formed in the fermentation of fruit)
Description
The TCA medium strength peel reveals fresh, glowing skin at the cost of moderate downtime and peeling. It can effectively treat mild to acute acne due in part to its powerful anti-bacterial properties. Fine lines and wrinkles as well as an uneven and blotchy complexion can all be successfully treated with the TCA 20% peel. This well-rounded treatment, like all TCA peels, is best suited for experienced users who have tolerated acids in the past.
