Who it's for
Best For
TCA Peel (13%) is customized to your skin at every visit. It's a great fit if any of these sound like you:
- Mature or aging skin
- Sun-damaged skin
- Acne scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Clients ready for a moderate-depth peel
The 13% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that works beneath the skin’s surface to target signs of aging, sun damage, uneven texture, and discoloration. TCA stimulates collagen production and encourages cellular turnover, revealing a fresher, smoother, and more radiant complexion.
Ideal for fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and age spots, acne scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation, rough or uneven skin texture, and overall dullness. Expect some redness, dryness, and moderate peeling during recovery.

Before your visit
Prep your skin for the best results.
A little preparation before your peel makes a real difference to how your skin responds and recovers.
Full pre-care guide- 1Stop retinol, AHAs and active exfoliants 5–7 days before your appointment
- 2Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for at least 1 week prior
- 3Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
- 4Let us know about any medications, especially ones that affect skin sensitivity
- 5Don't schedule your peel within 2 weeks of a major event, allow time for peeling to fully resolve
Aftercare
How to support your skin through recovery.
Depending on the depth of your peel, recovery ranges from none at all to a few days of visible flaking. Here’s how to look after your skin.
Full post-care guide- 1Keep your skincare very simple, gentle cleanser, rich moisturizer, SPF. Nothing active.
- 2Do not pick or peel flaking skin, let it shed naturally or you risk pigmentation
- 3Avoid the gym, saunas and sweating for 48 hours post-treatment
- 4Wear SPF every single day, your skin is very photosensitive after a peel
- 5Avoid retinol, AHAs and any actives until all peeling has resolved, usually 5–7 days
