Pigment Lift TCA Peel

Target Stubborn Pigment. Resurface. Renew.

45–60 Minutes | $195

The Pigment Lift TCA Peel is a targeted corrective treatment featuring GlyMed Plus 15% TCA for clients ready to take a more focused approach to stubborn discoloration and uneven skin texture.

This professional resurfacing treatment is designed to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun-related discoloration, uneven tone, rough texture, and visible signs of aging while encouraging a brighter, smoother, more refined-looking complexion.

Because TCA is a more intensive corrective option, proper skin preparation and approval are required before treatment.

BEST FOR

Hyperpigmentation • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) • Dark Spots • Sun-Related Discoloration • Uneven Skin Tone • Rough Texture • Fine Lines • Dullness • Corrective Resurfacing

YOUR TREATMENT MAY INCLUDE

Professional Skin Assessment • Double Cleanse • Skin Preparation • GlyMed Plus 15% TCA Peel • Professionally Determined Application/Layers • Soothing Post-Peel Support • Targeted Finishing Products • Moisturizer • SPF

Your treatment protocol is determined according to your skin's condition, tolerance, preparation, treatment history, and corrective goals.

WHY TCA?

TCA, or trichloroacetic acid, is a professional chemical peeling agent used for more targeted resurfacing.

Compared with a lighter maintenance peel, TCA may provide more intensive support for the appearance of persistent discoloration, uneven texture, and visible photoaging.

Stronger doesn't automatically mean better. TCA is recommended only when your skin is appropriately prepared and it's the right treatment for your concerns.

PREPARATION IS REQUIRED

The Pigment Lift TCA Peel is not a walk-in or first-visit treatment.

Before receiving this peel, your skin must be assessed to determine whether you're an appropriate candidate.

Your personalized preparation plan may include:

Professional Homecare • Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF • Pigment-Supportive Products • Barrier Support • Temporary Adjustments to Active Skincare • A Designated Preparation Period

The exact preparation period is determined individually rather than based on skin tone alone.

Required pre-treatment homecare is purchased separately.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTERWARD?

Depending on your skin and treatment protocol, you may experience:

Redness • Tightness • Dryness • Sensitivity • Darkening of Pigmented Areas • Flaking • Visible Peeling

Peeling and shedding can vary significantly between clients.

Never pick, pull, scrub, or manually remove peeling skin.

Following your personalized post-care instructions and wearing broad-spectrum SPF are especially important after a corrective peel.

RECOMMENDED FREQUENCY

Pigment Lift TCA may be recommended as an individual corrective treatment or incorporated into a progressive treatment plan.

Frequency is determined by your skin's response, pigmentation concerns, treatment history, homecare, and healing between treatments.

More frequent or stronger peeling does not necessarily produce better pigmentation results.

CUSTOMIZED PEEL OR PIGMENT LIFT TCA?

Customized Corrective Peel — $150
Best when you need a professional peel selected from multiple options according to your skin and current concerns.

Pigment Lift TCA — $195
Best for an eligible, properly prepared client who needs a more targeted TCA resurfacing protocol, particularly when persistent pigmentation and texture are major concerns.

You don't have to determine which one you need on your own. Your skin assessment and treatment plan will guide the recommendation.

IMPORTANT FOR PIGMENT-PRONE SKIN

When treating hyperpigmentation, more aggressive does not always mean better.

Excessive inflammation can worsen discoloration in some skin types, which is why your preparation, treatment intensity, and post-care are selected carefully.

Our goal is controlled, progressive correction while protecting the health of your skin.
