How does TCA Peel work?
TCA peel works by removing the outermost damaged layer of the skin by peeling it off. This, in turn, exposes a new, undamaged layer of the skin. As a result, the person opting for a TCA peel gets to experience an even-colored, younger-looking and smooth skin texture after the treatment.
The outermost layer of skin removed by TCA peels primarily consist of dead cells, that makes the skin looks dull and without glow. The extent of the peel depends upon how strong or mild the peeling solution is, the use of which is dependent on the condition of the skin.
