Why Choose a Professional TCA Peel Over At-Home Alternatives

Chemical peels are a popular form of facial resurfacing that restores the skin on your face and reveals a fresh, healthy glow. Many different types, strengths, and brands of peels are available in the beauty and cosmetic enhancement community, and some may be more appealing to patients than others. Many are available as at-home treatments and in-office procedures, but it is important to remember that you may not get the same results if you try to administer treatments yourself.

Visiting a licensed and experienced cosmetic professional, like top-rated Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati, can help you receive a higher-quality chemical peel treatment with access to some of the best-quality ingredients available.

What Are TCA Peels?

Trichloroacetic peels, or TCA Peels, generally use non-toxic acids to noninvasively treat common skin discolorations, blemishes, or age-related concerns. They can be a relatively simple approach to helping reverse or reduce certain issues that may have developed over time as a response to the sun, hormonal changes, stress, age, and more.

This peel gets its name from Trichloroacetic Acid, or TCA. This acid is wonderful for smoothing skin tone and texture. Our Newport Beach TCA peel is usually about a 15 to 30-minute in-office procedure with little to no pain. We use a prescription-strength numbing agent to make your experience comfortable; however, the acid might initially cause a slight stinging sensation that usually dissipates within seconds.

Unlike other facilities or at-home treatments, Dr. Sadati will use his expertise and knowledge of aesthetic techniques to help customize your facial and chemical peel. Together, you can discuss the best skincare approach to help you manage and maintain your beauty goals in the long term.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

A TCA chemical peel procedure is generally short and can be comfortably performed in under an hour at our facility. Typically, patients can expect to set aside at least thirty minutes, and while there is some recovery time, you will be able to leave the office comfortably after your appointment.

If you are looking to achieve a certain result or address a specific goal, you will likely need a treatment program tailored to you by Dr. Sadati. The length of treatment will also depend on the area you want to have treated.

What is Recovery Like After a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a topical treatment that is completely noninvasive and does not require surgery or injections. However, you will need to set aside some time to recover from a TCA peel. There is about 2-7 days of downtime, but it does depend on the strength of the peel.

Your skin will likely be red and sensitive in the first few days. You may see results after your treatment, but will likely become more visible as the skin peels away to reveal the new layer. It's important that you avoid direct sunlight and use sun protection, even on a cloudy day, to help protect your skin. You should also avoid picking or scratching at the results to help ensure you don't cause further skin issues.
