What is TCA Peel?
TCA peels range from superficial to medium depth depending on concentration. Low concentrations are used for pigmentation and texture, while focal high-strength TCA (the TCA CROSS technique) can be used for ice-pick acne scars. Because of the risk of pigment change in darker skin, it is planned and performed carefully by the dermatologist.
