TCA Peel
A chemical peel is a wonderful solution for rejuvenating the skin, reducing the signs of aging, improving visible sun damage and more. Yet, many people simply can’t afford the lengthy downtime and recovery that is associated with deep skin peels. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels are gentler than aggressive treatment, but stronger than light peels. This treatment is safe and beneficial for virtually anyone.
How it is used?
Our TCA peel treats a wide range of skin conditions such as acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation. It increases collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, younger looking skin. This gentle procedure is recommended for all skin types. TCA is the only chemical peel recommended by the FDA to treat precancer. Maintenance sessions are recommended three times a year.
How it works
The depth of the peel depends on the potency of the solution, and the duration of treatment, which are determined according to your individual skin type. TCA is safer than many medium-depth peels for darker skin tones, with a minimal risk of discoloration. The formula penetrates the skin more deeply than superficial lunchtime peels, causing the outer layer to slough off. This effectively removes damaged, discolored, unhealthy skin, which is naturally replaced by a fresh, new, beautiful layer.
Recovery and results
TCA is considered a medium chemical peel, which does require a little healing time, but it is not extensive. You should not feel post-procedure pain or discomfort, though the newly developed skin will be tender. Careful sun protection is vital. Healing is usually complete within five to ten days, depending on the level of the peel. You will notice visible improvement in the color and laxity of skin, as well as a softer, more elastic texture. A customized TCA peel from the skin care experts at Z Aesthetic Dermatology can leave your skin looking and feeling younger.
