A TCA Peel is a chemical peel procedure that uses trichloroacetic acid as the active ingredient. It is a medium-depth peel that is often used to address a variety of skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.
Here’s what you might expect from a TCA Peel:
- Preparing the skin: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. Some practitioners may use a prepping solution to ensure the peel adheres properly.
- Application:The TCA solution will be applied evenly to your skin. The strength and concentration of the TCA solution may vary depending on your specific needs and the treatment protocol chosen by the spa.
- Sensation and downtime:During the application, you may experience a burning or stinging sensation, which is usually temporary and can be managed with cooling methods. After the peel, you can expect several days of downtime as your skin undergoes the peeling and healing process.
- Peeling and recovery: This process is essential for revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath. You'll need to follow post-peel care instructions provided by the spa, which may include avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products.
- Multiple sessions: Depending on your skincare goals, you may require multiple TCA Peel sessions, typically spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the desired results.
- Sun protection: It's crucial to use sunscreen regularly after a TCA Peel to protect your newly revealed skin from sun damage.
