Get answers to common questions about 13%, 20% or 30% TCA face & body peel.

Peels are not recommended for very sensitive skin, active infections, recent isotretinoin use, pregnancy, or keloid-prone individuals. A consultation and skin assessment are required to determine suitability and to design safe concentration and layering for your skin type.
