My great acid experience, part 3: TCA salon peeling (before and after photos, general results, skin now)

Trichloroacetic acid TCA 15%, 25%, 35%

TCA peeling (Mediderma) - a classic medium peeling, is one of the main methods for correcting wrinkles and other age-related skin changes, as well as post-acne scars and stretch marks. Depending on the concentration of TCA peeling penetrates to different depths required in each specific case. This is an ideal peeling for local use in the area of ​​creases and deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and various skin texture disorders.

Expected effect:

• intensive skin rejuvenation,
• smoothing out fine and deep wrinkles,
• relief leveling
• elimination of stretch marks, scars
• elimination of hyperpigmentation

Medium peeling usually requires pre-peeling preparation. This could be the home use of creams or lotions containing light exfoliating and renewing ingredients, such as fruit or AHA acids. With proper preparation, the skin is “trained” before the most aggressive impact, which will shorten the rehabilitation period, improve skin regeneration and get a more pronounced result. Also, to prepare the skin for medium peeling, it is recommended to first undergo 1-3 sessions of superficial peeling.

Peeling Ultraceuticals (Australia)

This is another type of off-season peeling.
It features a patented system for delivering vitamins to the deep layers of the skin. Thanks to this, de facto, a very pleasant effect is obtained: you have already left the clinic, and the active substances are still working - nourishing and renewing the skin. The development of such formulas in Australia is understandable, because it is there that the solar radiation is the most aggressive and requires special care. Ultraceuticals superficial peels are primarily aimed at correcting photoaging and hyperpigmentation, but they are used for a variety of other conditions. We use 3 Ultraceuticals products in our work - milk peeling, almond peeling and Vitapeel.

How is the TCA peel procedure performed?

The TCA peel procedure is quite sensitive. When applied to the skin, a fairly intense burning sensation occurs after 1-2 minutes, but it passes quickly. Then the so-called “frost” forms on the skin - a white coating consisting of coagulated upper layers of the epidermis. It is practically invisible and easily washed off. TCA peeling may not be accompanied by any redness, so the patient does not observe any changes in the skin immediately after the procedure. However, a pronounced vascular reaction and slight swelling are also possible and depend on the individual characteristics of the skin. 2-3 days after the procedure, a dark crust forms in the peeling area, which completely disappears within 5-7 days. Young skin after the crust has peeled off is pink; over the course of several days it gradually acquires its normal color. It is very important to use sunscreen or avoid sun exposure altogether for at least two weeks to prevent pigmentation from forming in the peeling area.

Rules of behavior after the procedure:

• avoid thermal procedures (sauna, steam bath, hot shower) for 2 weeks after the procedure
• Avoid skin exposure to sunlight and use SPF 50 sunscreen
• Gently cleanse the skin; in case of severe tightness, use light moisturizers
• try to avoid strong tension and activity of the facial muscles, as this can lead to cracking of the crust and longer healing

The recommended course of TCA is 15%, 25%, 35% from 1 to 5 procedures, once every 1.5 - 2 months.

What is peeling and why is it needed?

“Peel” (from English) - “to peel”, “to remove the peel or husk.”
In cosmetology, the purpose of this procedure (it is also called exfoliation) is exfoliation, removal of the upper keratinized layer of skin. The skin is the outer covering of the body, which is influenced by aggressive external factors. It looks truly beautiful only if a precarious balance is maintained between the rate of division of basal cells, their differentiation and the simultaneous desquamation of keratinized scales.

With age or for other reasons, the rate of division and exfoliation decreases. In this case, the skin becomes thinner, coarsens, complexion deteriorates, pigment spots, ptosis, dilated blood vessels, and wrinkles appear. Chemical peeling of the face removes the stratum corneum, activates cellular renewal and rejuvenation. Therefore, it is one of the most accessible ways to solve these problems.

In treatment and care procedures, we use only those types of peeling whose quality is beyond praise. They are recognized as the gold standard and are successfully used throughout the world. Let's tell you more about them.
