Gangnam is well known for medical-grade chemical peel treatments that deliver visible skin renewal. TCA Facials are a popular resurfacing option designed to improve pigmentation, acne scars, fine wrinkles, and overall skin texture through controlled exfoliation.

1. What are TCA Facials?

TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) facials are medium-depth chemical peels that penetrate deeper than superficial peels to stimulate skin regeneration and collagen production. The strength is carefully adjusted according to skin type and concerns.

• Controlled Skin Resurfacing:
  Removes damaged outer skin layers to promote renewal.
• Collagen Stimulation:
  Encourages firmer, smoother skin over time.
• Pigmentation & Texture Improvement:
  Reduces dark spots, acne marks, and uneven tone.

2. Popular Treatments & Estimated Price Range

Prices are approximate per session in Gangnam and vary depending on peel strength and treatment area.

• Light TCA Facial (Low Concentration): ₩200,000 – ₩400,000
  Benefit: Brightens skin tone and refines texture with minimal downtime.
