TCA Peel

35% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) peels are a popular choice for those seeking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin. TCA peels are a type of chemical peel that exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin to reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion.    

1. What is a 35% TCA peel?

   - A 35% TCA peel is a medium-strength chemical peel that contains 35% concentration of Trichloroacetic Acid. This concentration makes it suitable for addressing a variety of skin concerns.

2. How does it work?

   - TCA peels work by causing controlled damage to the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers. This helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and fade skin discoloration.

3. What are the benefits?

   - Improved skin texture and tone: TCA peels can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and sun damage, resulting in smoother and more even skin.

   - Increased collagen production: The peel stimulates the production of collagen, which helps plump the skin and reduce the signs of aging.

   - Reduced pigmentation: TCA peels can help fade hyperpigmentation, including age spots, melasma, and sunspots.

   - Minimized pore size: The peel can help unclog pores and reduce their appearance, giving the skin a smoother and more refined look.

4. What to expect during the procedure?

   - A 35% TCA peel is typically performed by a trained professional in a clinical setting. The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and the peel solution is applied evenly to the treatment area. You may experience a warm, tingling sensation during the application.

   - The peel is left on for a specific amount of time, determined by the professional, and then neutralized. After the peel, the skin may appear red, tight, and slightly swollen. This is a normal part of the healing process.

5. What is the downtime and aftercare?

   - After a 35% TCA peel, the treated skin will undergo a peeling process for about a week. During this time, it is important to protect the skin from sun exposure and follow a gentle skincare routine recommended by your professional.

   - It is common to experience some redness, dryness, and flaking during the healing process. It is crucial to keep the skin hydrated and avoid picking or scratching at the peeling skin.

6. Who is a good candidate for a 35% TCA peel?

   - Candidates for a 35% TCA peel include individuals looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. It is important to have a consultation with a professional to determine if this treatment is suitable for your skin type and concerns.
