TCA Skin Rejuvenation
A balance between noticeable results and manageable recovery — reaching the middle layers of the skin to smooth texture, even tone, and restore your youthful glow.
If you’re concerned about fine lines, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, or uneven skin tone, a medium-deep chemical peel may be the ideal solution to rejuvenate your complexion — offering a balance between noticeable results and manageable recovery time.
Medium-deep peels penetrate further than light peels, reaching the middle layers of the skin to target more pronounced imperfections. These treatments can dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, revitalizing your overall appearance.
It’s a refreshing, non-surgical way to reveal smoother, clearer, more radiant skin — performed conveniently here at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery in Aliso Viejo.

A medium-deep chemical peel combines Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) and other safe chemical agents to exfoliate damaged skin layers. The process triggers the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen formation and the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells.
During treatment, a specialized solution is applied to your face, neck or other areas. The skin may lightly frost or whiten as the solution works to loosen dead cells. Within several days, the outer layers peel away — revealing smoother, clearer, more radiant skin underneath.
20–45 min
A medium-deep peel typically takes 20 to 45 minutes, reaching the middle layers of the skin for noticeable rejuvenation with manageable downtime.
Your skincare specialist tailors the peel to your skin condition and goals, adjusting its strength and duration to ensure both safety and optimal results.
1
Your provider first cleanses your skin thoroughly to prepare it for the peel.
2
The peel’s strength and duration are adjusted to your skin. The procedure typically lasts 20 to 45 minutes — you may feel mild warmth or tingling, and the skin may lightly frost as it takes effect.
3
Over the following 5 to 7 days, your skin gradually flakes and peels as the damaged outer layers loosen and fall away.
4
This natural process uncovers fresh skin with improved tone and texture — smoother, clearer and more radiant.
After a medium-deep chemical peel, some redness, swelling or tightness is expected and may last several days. The peeling phase typically occurs within the first week, followed by gradual brightening and tightening of the skin. Within two weeks, your skin will look smoother, clearer and more youthful — with continued improvement as collagen rebuilds.
