Localized TCA peel for static facial wrinkle: case series

Abstract

Since antiquity, chemical peelings are still widely used to treat skin aging. There are a variety of substances, techniques, and considerations for each type of peeling. However, this case series aims to present a non-described form of application of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and retinoic acid to treat fine static wrinkles on the face. The technique consists of applying the TCA peeling directly to the facial rhytids and, subsequently, retinoic acid peeling all over the face for 6 hours.
