TCA Under-Eye Peel
with Dr.Song
What is a TCA Under-Eye Peel?
A TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel -also known as a non-surgical eyelid lift- is a medical-grade chemical peel that targets pigmentation, fine lines, and crepey texture under the eyes. When performed by an experienced physician, it can visibly brighten, tighten, and rejuvenate the delicate under-eye area without surgery.This treatment improves the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, and sun damage under the eyes. It can also stimulate collagen production over time, leading to smoother, firmer skin. Peeling typically occurs between days 3–5, with full results visible in 2–4 weeks.
About the TCA Under-Eye Peel Treatment
The treatment takes about 20–30 minutes and is done in-clinic by Dr. Song. After cleansing and prepping the skin, a light concentration of TCA is carefully applied to the under-eye area. You may notice temporary frosting (a white appearance), followed by redness, puffiness, and gentle peeling over the next several days.
Most clients require a series of 1–3 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on skin concerns and goals.
A consultation with Dr. Song is recommended to assess you under-eye area and ensure you’re a good candidate. (note consultation fees stay on your file and can be used towards treatments with Dr.Song).
