A TCA peel uses trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, fading dark marks and hyperpigmentation, clearing clogged pores and breakouts and smoothing uneven texture. It is our entry-level corrective peel and a great first peel, because we customize the strength and build up as your skin responds. At Crystal Ngozi Beauty & Esthetics in Tucker, GA, we treat all skin types and specialize in Black and brown skin, including Face Reality acne peels and body peels for the back.
The right strength, for your skin, at the right pace
Melanin-rich skin is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so the wrong peel or the wrong strength can leave behind more discoloration than you started with. That is why a one-size-fits-all peel is never our approach.
We start where your skin is, prepare it properly and increase the strength gradually. The result is professional-grade skin correction done the right way: brighter, clearer, smoother skin without setbacks.

Why skin of color needs specialized care
The wrong treatments, the wrong products and the wrong hands can do more harm than good. Melanin-rich skin is more prone to discoloration after trauma, including the wrong peel. That is why specialized care is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

We will choose the right peel for your skin
A TCA peel is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have used Accutane in the last six months, or have active cold sores, open wounds or a sunburn. If your pigmentation or scarring needs more than an entry-level peel, we will tell you and may recommend the VI Peel. If you want zero peeling, BioRePeel may be a better fit.
Skin of color is our specialty, not a side note
Our licensed esthetics team builds every protocol around melanin-rich skin: how it heals, how it holds pigment and how to get results without setbacks.
TCA Peel FAQ
What is a TCA peel?
A TCA peel uses trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, fading dark marks, clearing congestion and smoothing texture. At our clinic it is our entry-level corrective peel, and we customize the strength to your skin, your goals and what your skin is ready for.
Is a TCA peel safe for dark skin?
Yes, when it is customized and done by a team trained in melanin-rich skin. The wrong peel can leave deeper skin tones darker, so we choose the right strength, prepare your skin beforehand and build up gradually over your series.
Is a TCA peel a good first peel?
Yes. It is our go-to starting point for clients who are new to peels, because we can begin gently and increase the strength as your skin responds.
What does a TCA peel treat?
Our TCA peels target dark marks and hyperpigmentation, breakouts and clogged pores, rough or uneven texture, dullness and fine lines.
Will I peel after a TCA peel?
Most clients see light flaking for a few days, depending on the strength used. Many clients go about their normal routine while their skin renews.
How many TCA peels will I need?
Peels work best as a series spaced two weeks apart. We build your plan at your consultation, starting gently and adjusting the strength as your skin responds.
Can a TCA peel help acne?
Yes. We use Face Reality acne peels as part of our acne care, paired with home care that keeps breakouts under control between visits.
Can you do a TCA peel on the back or body?
Yes. We offer body TCA peels for small areas and for medium to large areas, including the back, for breakouts, dark marks and texture.
Can teens get a peel?
Yes. We offer a teen acne peel with a strength chosen for younger skin.
Who should not get a TCA peel?
A TCA peel is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have used Accutane in the last six months, have active cold sores, open wounds or a sunburn. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask us about our lactic peel instead.
Can I add a peel to my facial?
Yes. Existing clients can add a corrective peel to a facial for an extra boost in tone and texture.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans through Cherry and Klarna, plus single peels, series and combination plans, so there is an option for every budget.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. We choose the right peel and strength for your skin at your consultation. Your first visit includes a custom facial, so it is already treatment.
