If your skin shows signs of aging or just appears dull, it may be time for a facial refresh. The dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin can affect the texture, tone and brightness, making your skin look older and lifeless. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels are a type of chemical peel that can remove those dead skin cells and reveal new skin for a brighter, more youthful appearance. Maia Plastic Surgery and Skincare offers TCA peel treatments at our facility in the Tysons Corner, Chevy Chase and Washington D.C. metro area.

Trichloroacetic acid is an organic compound that can be used to restore improved tone and texture to the skin. A TCA peel treatment removes damaged or dead skin cells that cause discolorations, scars, lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. TCA chemical peels can be used in a variety of strengths, from a light peel for superficial skin flaws to a deeper peel to address lines, wrinkles and scarring.

TCA Chemical Peels

The TCA chemical peels procedure can help reveal healthier, more youthful skin. The procedure is non-invasive but may require downtime as the skin heals. The chemical peel treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, but it may be longer if you receive a deeper peel procedure. You will need to follow post-procedure instructions to care for your skin in the days following your TCA peel.

The amount of downtime needed after your TCA peel depends on the strength of your treatment. Deeper peels usually will require 1-2 weeks to allow the skin to heal. Redness, swelling, flaking and tenderness are common during the healing process. Patients will need to avoid sun exposure as much as possible and use the recommended sunscreen to protect their skin from damage.

TCA peel treatments can smooth and brighten your skin’s appearance. The results are evident over the following weeks and months as the new skin cells are revealed. The peeling process can help tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dr. Maia and her staff are incredibly professional and truly empathetic. They’ve done a beautiful job with the treatments that I’ve gotten and I look forward to coming to the office every single time.

Dr. Maia deserves more than 5-stars! I’m thrilled with my results and I’m less than 3 months post surgery. Dr. Maia is confident and kind, and not at all pushy like other plastic surgeons. I was overly impressed the morning of the procedure. The surgical and hospital staff know her well! They were ready for her and put me at ease while I was getting settled in the OR. I appreciate the team in Dr. Maia’s office for their patience and care. They are just as calm as Dr. Maia.

Mid 40s male who’s always had nasal breathing issues and a dorsal bump. I finally decided to do something about it with a septoplasty/rhinoplasty combo. I met with a few doctors but Dr. Maia stood out. She instilled confidence, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. The surgery was straight forward, and the swelling was surprisingly light. A week later the cast was off and I was on the short road to recovery. Honestly, if I had known it was this easy I would have done it earlier. Thanks Dr. Maia!

I recently had Dysport injected by NP Kristina, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I can already see some of the results few days post-injections! I love how quickly Dysport softens the wrinkles, without giving you the "frozen look". Just in time for the upcoming holidays! Earlier this year, I did 3 Morpheus-8 treatments to my face and neck, and I am CONSTANTLY being complimented on how good my skin looks. Worth every penny! I also had fillers injected by Dr. Maia and Kristina. Dr. Maia did my under-eye, which I am obsessed about... what a change! Kristina injected my lips, chin, jawline, and cheeks. My face looks more proportional and guess what.... I FINALLY HAVE A CHIN :) Thank you, Dr. Maia, Kristina, and the Team. You're the best. I will surely be back for more.

I had tummy tuck and muscle repair with Dr. Maia 3 months ago. I couldn't be happier. I am 44 and I got my 25 year old body back after tummy tuck with Dr. Maia. The initial consult was great. The surgery was fast. The post op care was excellent. Dr. Maia and team assured me that I had great post recovery and everything going okay. I had no complication whatsoever. The incission was very small and low which I love. She is amazing and caring surgeon. He teams are very responsive and wonderful. I am very happy with the result and everything.
