Chemical peel with TCA

A chemical peel is an effective way to achieve smooth and beautiful skin. September is the perfect month to start a chemical peel. The risk of sun damage after a peeling treatment is then less significant. One of the safest chemical peels is the chemical peel with TCA. A TCA peel is also a good addition to IPL and laser treatments.

Benefits of TCA peeling

The TCA play is a medium play. In other words, a superficial peel that, among other things, remedies blemished pigmentation, wide pores, shallow acne scars and fine lines. The medium peeling has many advantages:

• A medium peel can be used more often, because the skin recovers faster.
• After a medium peel, the skin immediately feels smooth.
• Thanks to the patented solution, Pain Control, the TCA peeling treatment is virtually painless.
• The peeling with TCA is applied layer by layer. This reduces the risk of complications. In addition, there is a lot of control over the desired result.

How does the TCA play work?

In the case of a TCA peel, the skin is treated with the chemical TCA. This substance allows the skin to exfoliate faster. The TCA peel stimulates cell division in the dermis, which produces collagen and elastin and thickens the dermis. This makes the chemical peel with TCA very suitable for people with thin skin. Clinic Doctor Frodo works with EASY TCA® PAIN CONTROL, a combination peel that includes retinol, fruit acids, protein- and fat-splitting enzymes, salicylic acid, the substance TCA (trichloric-acetic acid, or trichloroacetic acid) and a little bit of phenol. The EASY TCA game:

• Refines pores;
• Reduces pigmentation and lentigine keratosis (liver spots);
• Reduces stretch marks;
• Fades acne (scars) and makes skin less oily;
• Make dull, grey skin look radiant again;
• Blurs fine lines and wrinkles.

Disadvantages of chemical peeling

There are a number of disadvantages to every chemical peel, including the TCA peel. After each peeling, the skin will peel. This is part of the process. Sheets should never be pulled off the skin. There is a chance that new skin cells will be pulled along. Up to six weeks after treatment, the skin must be protected from UV rays with SPF 50+. No peels, scrubs, aromatherapy or essential oils should be used for up to two weeks after treatment. Hair removal treatments and the use of products that contain retinol or fruit acids are also not recommended. The TCA peel consists of approximately four treatments at intervals of at least eight days. Each treatment takes about half an hour. Read more about 2 peels.
