Skip to content At Auri Aesthetics in Gilbert, AZ, we specialize in TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) chemical peels, a proven treatment for patients seeking smoother, clearer, and more youthful skin. A TCA peel is a medium-depth peel that penetrates beyond the surface to correct visible signs of aging, sun damage, acne scarring, and uneven tone. Through collagen stimulation and cell turnover, this treatment delivers radiant results without the need for invasive procedures.
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) is a trusted peeling agent that has been used in aesthetic medicine for decades. Unlike light chemical peels that only treat surface concerns, TCA penetrates the epidermis and upper dermis, making it effective for more advanced skin concerns.
TCA peels are commonly used to improve:
A TCA peel removes the damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating regeneration deeper below. A TCA peel creates a firmer, smoother, and more even complexion.

Because medium-depth peels carry a higher risk for hyperpigmentation, patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) may require pre-conditioning with topical skincare or alternative peel options.

Our goal is not just to give you smoother skin, it’s to help you feel confident and radiant in the long term.
TCA peels penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective at treating scarring, pigmentation, and moderate aging compared to lighter AHA peels.
Expect redness, peeling, and flaking for 5–7 days, with complete recovery usually within a week.
Caution is required with Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin types. Preconditioning and provider evaluation are crucial in reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Many patients see improvement after one peel, but a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended for stubborn pigmentation or scarring.
TCA peels are highly effective for reducing post-acne scarring, texture irregularities, and discoloration.
