Trichloroacetic acid (TCA; TCAA; also known as trichloroethanoic acid) is an analogue of acetic acid in which the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have all been replaced by chlorine atoms.
Synthesis
It is prepared by the reaction of chlorine with acetic acid in the presence of a suitable catalyst.
Use
It is widely used in biochemistry for the precipitation of macromolecules, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. Solutions containing trichloroacetic acid as an ingredient are used for cosmetic treatments, such as chemical peels, tattoo removal, and the treatment of warts, including genital warts. It can kill normal cells as well. It is considered safe for use for this purpose during pregnancy.
Salts and esters of trichloroacetic acid are called trichloroacetates.
Its sodiumsalt was used as an herbicide starting in the 1950s but regulators removed it from the market in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
History
The discovery of trichloroacetic acid by Jean-Baptiste Dumas in 1839 delivered a striking example to the slowly evolving theory of organic radicals and valences. The theory was contrary to the beliefs of Jöns Jakob Berzelius, starting a long dispute between Dumas and Berzelius.

TCA CROSS for acne scarring ❄️🪡 | DrMediSpa
TCA CROSS is the chemical reconstruction of
skin scars (CROSS) using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with
@drtinosolomon
The treatment is a skin peel that is most effective for deep
acne scars ('ice-pick scars') that do not respond well to
fractional laser treatments.
A small amount of a highly concentrated solution of
trichloroatic acid is carefully deposited onto the surface of
the scar of concern. This causes an inflammatory reaction
that promotes the formation of new collagen fires which
improves the appearance of the scarring.
This type of acne scarring treatment is usually reserved for
severed scarring (sunken, pitted or indented scars).
Patients of all skin colours and types can benefit from TCA
CROSS, although a thorough consultation and assessment
are always required before treatmen...

TCA Peel for Acne Scars (Trichloroacetic Acid Peel)
Following my post on Acne Scars, here is a video of me showing one of the in-clinic treatments I do to improve the appearance of flat acne scars (post-acne erythema and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) - the Trichloroacetic Acid or TCA Peel.
In this treatment I used Skin Tech Easy TCA Pain Control. -

TCA Cross for Treating DEEP *Acne Scars*
🌟This treatment is called TCA Cross and it is for treating deep acne scars.
👨🏽🎨I use a paintbrush to precisely pinpoint each scar with an acid called TCA. TCA chemically exfoliates the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production. The white that you are seeing is called frosting, which is caused by the acid TCA touching the skin. The frosting will first turn red during the healing process and then later scab off.
👍🏼Results can be seen in 3-6 months. Sometimes multiple sessions are needed for best results.

TCA Chemical peel
#SkinC#duet @josdavis TCA stands for trichloracetic acid. This peel can be used to treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation like melasma, sun damage, and fine lines/wrinkles/texture. The office procedure itself is very simple. Depending on the strength, you can get a burning or tingling sensation during the application of the chemical. It gets more uncomfortable with a stronger peel but the office takes precautions to minimize the discomfort. #TCApeel #chemicalpeel #wrinkles #melasma

The 4 Biggest TCA Mistakes, Application Warnings & Answers
Today I want to clarify some common questions about tca.
TCA is a stronger acid used to chemically exfoliate the skin from the face or body.
Not only does it cause a good amount of visible flaking but it also stimulates collagen, elastin and even glycosaminoglycans in the skin.
It’s truly amazing.
And with all things amazing… there are those of you that like to live dangerously –or adventurously --- and I want to go over some tips that will help you to get your best … and most importantly -- SAFEST results.

Today I want to clarify some common questions about tca.
TCA is a stronger acid used to chemically exfoliate the skin from the face or body.
Not only does it cause a good amount of visible flaking but it also stimulates collagen, elastin and even glycosaminoglycans in the skin.
It’s truly amazing.
And with all things amazing… there are those of you that like to live dangerously –or adventurously --- and I want to go over some tips that will help you to get your best … and most importantly -- SAFEST results.
https://platinumskincare.com
#1 - How often can I do a TCA peel?
Obviously, this is going to be based on what percentage you are applying, how heavy handed you are with the volume of solution, and how many layers have been applied. All THAT INFO is in your peel manual for easy access.
On AVERAGE – Most people will do one TCA peel per month until their series is complete. I think this is an easy timeline to follow and gives you enough weeks of downtime to help with tissue generation from the acid itself – AND – it gives you a good amount of time to use your daily treatments easily.
Of course, there are always exceptions, and if you are applying a light percentage such as the 7%, or only 1 or 2 light layers of the 13%, … you will be able to apply it again around the 2nd or 3rd week mark if you wish instead.
Always listen to your skin though, and only move forward if everything is feeling perfectly normal and there aren’t any lingering sensitivity or irritations happening.
#2 - Can I apply a stronger percentage of TCA on my neck and chest?
Problems aren’t just local to our faces…. therefore, you should definitely apply your TCA to the neck and chest as well to get the best results. You don’t have to peel them every time you do your face – but you really should at least 1x every few months.
The tricky part here is the neck and chest area. We are applying acid to it like it’s an extension of our face – but it is going to flake like the body part it is. And the body takes a MUCH longer time to slough than the face does.
We always have those wanting to treat the chest with acids in higher percentages such as 30% like the rest of the body – but we really shouldn’t.
Is the skin thicker than the face? … Yes, but only microscopically… and you will find that it is much more “reactive” than your face can be.
A higher percentage can lead to a stronger response than you are ready for. That can be rashes, extreme erythema, bumps and itching to name a few. So remember it is always best to apply the same percentage as your face. And keep in mind … that because the neck and chest are “technically” body – they do take longer to slough, so never apply a peel more than 1x per month there.
#3 - Does where I am applying the TCA affect how often I can do a peel?
Yes indeed. The Face turns over very quickly. You have many follicles and the skin generally starts to shed in the first 3-5 days. Then it continues over another 4-6 days and you are all done relatively quickly. Super.
Now… the body really takes a longer time to flake. We recommend applying TCA to the body no more than 1x per month. … why?
Because the body can take upwards of 10 days to 2 weeks before it even STARTS to show any dryness or flaking. Then… it is going to take another couple of weeks to finish. Now we are looking at 4 weeks. Maybe 5.
So, whenever you are treating the body – it’s a slower process. Be patient.
This all leads me to my next and final question.
#4 - Can I add in ANOTHER “milder” peel in between TCA peels every 3-4 weeks?.
Can I do that? ….
LOL… You can’t.
It’s not safe. Instead of thinking about SQUEEZING IN a peel while you are in your allotted downtime, let’s turn the tables and talk about rotating peels instead.
Get out of the habit of thinking you can only do your peel on a specific day. Instead do your peel, and wait the allotted time frame that our Manual suggests. At THAT point you can now apply ANY OTHER ACID that you wish.
Let me give you an example.
You applied 3 layers of a TCA 13 and 3 weeks have gone by. You are ready to do another peel.
This time you want to do a Glycolic 50. OK. Go ahead and apply your 50. Now follow your recommendations on waiting. Average wait times are 1-2 weeks.
Once that time passes – you can do whichever acid peel you wish. Whether that is the same one again or the TCA.
Just remember to ALWAYS follow the recommendations of the LAST peel you applied.
No trying to squeeze in peels in between peels. That leads to over exfoliation and irritation. You can’t rush a good thing. Downtime is important and necessary.
You need to allow your skin all the time it needs to regenerate deep in the skin. Patience is key – even with peels.
If you still have more questions – just reach out to us.
We are here to help.

TCA CROSS is the chemical reconstruction of
skin scars (CROSS) using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with
@drtinosolomon
The treatment is a skin peel that is most effective for deep
acne scars ('ice-pick scars') that do not respond well to
fractional laser treatments.
A small amount of a highly concentrated solution of
trichloroatic acid is carefully deposited onto the surface of
the scar of concern. This causes an inflammatory reaction
that promotes the formation of new collagen fires which
improves the appearance of the scarring.
This type of acne scarring treatment is usually reserved for
severed scarring (sunken, pitted or indented scars).
Patients of all skin colours and types can benefit from TCA
CROSS, although a thorough consultation and assessment
are always required before treatment.

Following my post on Acne Scars, here is a video of me showing one of the in-clinic treatments I do to improve the appearance of flat acne scars (post-acne erythema and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) - the Trichloroacetic Acid or TCA Peel.
In this treatment I used Skin Tech Easy TCA Pain Control. -

🌟This treatment is called TCA Cross and it is for treating deep acne scars.
👨🏽🎨I use a paintbrush to precisely pinpoint each scar with an acid called TCA. TCA chemically exfoliates the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production. The white that you are seeing is called frosting, which is caused by the acid TCA touching the skin. The frosting will first turn red during the healing process and then later scab off.
👍🏼Results can be seen in 3-6 months. Sometimes multiple sessions are needed for best results.

TCA is one of the most amazing acid peels. It is so customizeable. You can use only one layer for a mild peel or go up to 5 layers for a very deep peel. Learn about where to begin, how many layers to apply, and when you should move up to the next percentage - NEVER SOONER!

#SkinC#duet @josdavis TCA stands for trichloracetic acid. This peel can be used to treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation like melasma, sun damage, and fine lines/wrinkles/texture. The office procedure itself is very simple. Depending on the strength, you can get a burning or tingling sensation during the application of the chemical. It gets more uncomfortable with a stronger peel but the office takes precautions to minimize the discomfort. #TCApeel #chemicalpeel #wrinkles #melasma
Today I want to clarify some common questions about tca.
TCA is a stronger acid used to chemically exfoliate the skin from the face or body.
Not only does it cause a good amount of visible flaking but it also stimulates collagen, elastin and even glycosaminoglycans in the skin.
It’s truly amazing.
And with all things amazing… there are those of you that like to live dangerously –or adventurously --- and I want to go over some tips that will help you to get your best … and most importantly -- SAFEST results.
https://platinumskincare.com
#1 - How often can I do a TCA peel?
Obviously, this is going to be based on what percentage you are applying, how heavy handed you are with the volume of solution, and how many layers have been applied. All THAT INFO is in your peel manual for easy access.
On AVERAGE – Most people will do one TCA peel per month until their series is complete. I think this is an easy timeline to follow and gives you enough weeks of downtime to help with tissue generation from the acid itself – AND – it gives you a good amount of time to use your daily treatments easily.
Of course, there are always exceptions, and if you are applying a light percentage such as the 7%, or only 1 or 2 light layers of the 13%, … you will be able to apply it again around the 2nd or 3rd week mark if you wish instead.
Always listen to your skin though, and only move forward if everything is feeling perfectly normal and there aren’t any lingering sensitivity or irritations happening.
#2 - Can I apply a stronger percentage of TCA on my neck and chest?
Problems aren’t just local to our faces…. therefore, you should definitely apply your TCA to the neck and chest as well to get the best results. You don’t have to peel them every time you do your face – but you really should at least 1x every few months.
The tricky part here is the neck and chest area. We are applying acid to it like it’s an extension of our face – but it is going to flake like the body part it is. And the body takes a MUCH longer time to slough than the face does.
We always have those wanting to treat the chest with acids in higher percentages such as 30% like the rest of the body – but we really shouldn’t.
Is the skin thicker than the face? … Yes, but only microscopically… and you will find that it is much more “reactive” than your face can be.
A higher percentage can lead to a stronger response than you are ready for. That can be rashes, extreme erythema, bumps and itching to name a few. So remember it is always best to apply the same percentage as your face. And keep in mind … that because the neck and chest are “technically” body – they do take longer to slough, so never apply a peel more than 1x per month there.
#3 - Does where I am applying the TCA affect how often I can do a peel?
Yes indeed. The Face turns over very quickly. You have many follicles and the skin generally starts to shed in the first 3-5 days. Then it continues over another 4-6 days and you are all done relatively quickly. Super.
Now… the body really takes a longer time to flake. We recommend applying TCA to the body no more than 1x per month. … why?
Because the body can take upwards of 10 days to 2 weeks before it even STARTS to show any dryness or flaking. Then… it is going to take another couple of weeks to finish. Now we are looking at 4 weeks. Maybe 5.
So, whenever you are treating the body – it’s a slower process. Be patient.
This all leads me to my next and final question.
#4 - Can I add in ANOTHER “milder” peel in between TCA peels every 3-4 weeks?.
Can I do that? ….
LOL… You can’t.
It’s not safe. Instead of thinking about SQUEEZING IN a peel while you are in your allotted downtime, let’s turn the tables and talk about rotating peels instead.
Get out of the habit of thinking you can only do your peel on a specific day. Instead do your peel, and wait the allotted time frame that our Manual suggests. At THAT point you can now apply ANY OTHER ACID that you wish.
Let me give you an example.
You applied 3 layers of a TCA 13 and 3 weeks have gone by. You are ready to do another peel.
This time you want to do a Glycolic 50. OK. Go ahead and apply your 50. Now follow your recommendations on waiting. Average wait times are 1-2 weeks.
Once that time passes – you can do whichever acid peel you wish. Whether that is the same one again or the TCA.
Just remember to ALWAYS follow the recommendations of the LAST peel you applied.
No trying to squeeze in peels in between peels. That leads to over exfoliation and irritation. You can’t rush a good thing. Downtime is important and necessary.
You need to allow your skin all the time it needs to regenerate deep in the skin. Patience is key – even with peels.
If you still have more questions – just reach out to us.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA; TCAA; also known as trichloroethanoic acid) is an analogue of acetic acid in which the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have all been replaced by chlorine atoms.
Synthesis
It is prepared by the reaction of chlorine with acetic acid in the presence of a suitable catalyst.
Use
It is widely used in biochemistry for the precipitation of macromolecules, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. Solutions containing trichloroacetic acid as an ingredient are used for cosmetic treatments, such as chemical peels, tattoo removal, and the treatment of warts, including genital warts. It can kill normal cells as well. It is considered safe for use for this purpose during pregnancy.
Salts and esters of trichloroacetic acid are called trichloroacetates.
Its sodiumsalt was used as an herbicide starting in the 1950s but regulators removed it from the market in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
History
The discovery of trichloroacetic acid by Jean-Baptiste Dumas in 1839 delivered a striking example to the slowly evolving theory of organic radicals and valences. The theory was contrary to the beliefs of Jöns Jakob Berzelius, starting a long dispute between Dumas and Berzelius.
