TCA Peel in Calgary

Serious resurfacing. Remarkable results.

TCA Peel — treatment
Face — in clinic

The TCA Peel helps to improve uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines and helps to brighten and refresh the skin. There will be a few days of dryness and peeling for the 10%, and 7 to 10 days for the 20%. 

For the TCA Cross, we use a thin wooden stick to saturate the product into, then insert it into ice pick scars, unwanted piercing holes and certain types of box car scars. A few treatments are often needed.

Treatment FAQ

About TCA Peel.

You can expect 5–7 days of visible peeling and redness as your skin sheds and renews. During this time we recommend keeping the skin hydrated, avoiding direct sun exposure, and skipping active skincare ingredients. The result on the other side is absolutely worth it, think of it as your skin's most powerful reset.

Many clients see significant improvement after a single treatment, however a series of 2–3 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results particularly for deeper scarring, hyperpigmentation, or advanced signs of aging.

During treatment you will experience a warming and tingling sensation as the peel works its way into the skin. This is completely normal and subsides quickly. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the entire process.

Initial results are visible once the skin has fully healed at around 7–10 days, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production ramps up with full results visible at 4–6 weeks post treatment.

The TCA Peel is exclusively performed by our most senior and advanced providers. Due to the precision and expertise required to deliver safe, optimal results, ensuring every application is tailored to your unique skin type, concern, and tolerance. You are in the most capable hands from the moment you walk through our door.

I had a great experience at Skin Clinics Calgary from start to finish. The initial consultation was incredibly thorough — the team took the time to really understand my needs and answer all of my questions, which made me feel completely at ease. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, from the moment I walked in to when I left. You can tell they truly care about their clients. Also, the clinic itself is absolutely beautiful — clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed.
