A TCA (trichloroacetic acid) 35% peel is a type of chemical peel used for skin resurfacing. Here are some of its key features:

1. Exfoliation : TCA peels help remove the outer layers of skin to improve texture and tone. The 35% concentration is a moderate strength, often used for treating more superficial skin issues.

2.  Treatment Areas : It's commonly used on the face, but can also be applied to other areas of the body like the neck and hands.

3. Benefits :

   -  Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles : Helps to smooth out the skin and diminish signs of aging.

   -  Improves Skin Tone : Can help even out skin discoloration and pigmentation.

   - Reduces Acne Scarring : Improves the appearance of scars and other textural irregularities.

   - Minimizes Sun Damage : Addresses issues like sun spots and uneven skin tone.

4. Procedure :

   - Application : The peel is applied to cleansed skin and left on for a specific period, depending on the desired depth of the peel.

   - Neutralization : After the application time, the peel is neutralized to stop its action.

   - Downtime : Expect some redness, peeling, and discomfort for a few days as the skin heals.

5. Recovery : Post-procedure, skin care is crucial to support healing. This usually includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection.

6. Risks :

   - Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation : Changes in skin color can occur, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.

   - Scarring : There is a risk of scarring if not properly cared for.

   - Infection : Proper hygiene and care are necessary to avoid infections.

It’s important to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine if a TCA 35% peel is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
