Trichloroacetic acid for cauterizing warts

Among peelings belonging to the middle chemical varieties, the most popular at the Zet clinic is TCA .
Medium-spectrum peels work on all layers of the epidermis, but only affect living cells. Trichloroacetic peeling is more effective than superficial peels, but at the same time it does not injure the skin, unlike harsher phenol derivatives.

The main effect of this procedure is comprehensive rejuvenation, which is expressed in increased firmness and elasticity of the facial skin, elimination of peeling, the effects of acne and pigmentation.

Peeling options with trichloroacetic acid45

TCA is a medium strength organic acid. It is stable in solutions for a long time. The substance has keratolytic and bactericidal effects. Trichloroacetic acid molecules can penetrate to the reticular layer of the dermis. The cosmetologist has the opportunity to regulate this process. To achieve the desired depth, a specialist can apply the product in several layers or select the required concentration of TCA. There are the following peeling options using TCA:

• Very superficial. Affects the stratum corneum of the epidermis. 10% trichloroacetic acid is used, applied in 1 layer.
• Surface. The affected area is the epidermis. 10-15% TCA is used.
• Median. The procedure affects the papillary dermis. 25-30% trichloroacetic acid is used.
• Deep. Able to affect the epidermis and papillary dermis. The procedure is carried out using 40% TCA, applied locally.

Indications and contraindications

Although trichloroacetic peel

refers to non-traumatic types of peeling, but, like any cosmetic procedure, it has its own indications and restrictions on use.

The main aesthetic problems that TCA peeling can successfully cope with are:

• sagging skin;
• deep wrinkles;
• stretch marks (striae);
• scars (postoperative and consequences of injuries);
• pigmentation as a result of age-related changes or active exposure to UV radiation;
• post-acne and, in fact, acne in small manifestations;
• enlarged pores;
• seborrhea;
• preparation for plastic surgery.

It is clear that most beautiful ladies, to one degree or another, are familiar with some of the listed troubles. But whether medium peeling is right for you, you should find out before you cross the threshold of the cosmetologist’s office at the Zet clinic.

If you have intolerance, or even hypersensitivity to the peeling components (trichloroacetic acid), the procedure will have to be replaced by other correction methods. It is clear that care should not be taken during the period of exacerbation of any infectious diseases. While expecting a baby and during breastfeeding, you will also have to make do with products with a more natural composition.

The effectiveness of TCA peeling

If you decide to use trichloroacetic peeling , then most likely you already know that it is more effective than superficial fruit acid peels. This, in particular, is explained by the ability of the active acid to coagulate proteins through rapid neutralization in the layers of the skin.

The effect of TCA peeling can be compared to a controlled burn, as a result of which cells are renewed, metabolic processes are accelerated and launched, and the relief of the skin is evened out.

A procedure such as chemical peeling should be trusted only to a professional cosmetologist. At the Zet Clinic we take this issue extremely seriously. After all, the acid concentration in the peeling composition should not exceed 40%, but is generally close to 10%. Exceeding doses can lead to irreversible processes in the layers of the epidermis.

But if your doctor is a professional, then after the rehabilitation period (about 4 days) you will receive a number of pleasant bonuses:

• solution to most aesthetic problems;
• visible rejuvenation;
• smoothing skin texture;
• savings on decorative and care cosmetics.

Choosing a competent specialist, proper rehabilitation and completing a full course of procedures will provide you with healthy and beautiful skin, which means an additional reason to feel happy.

Operating principle of TCA45

When TCA is applied to the skin, it interacts with proteins, which provokes their coagulation, and acid inactivation also occurs. Thanks to this “neutralization” principle, the systemic effect of the substance is eliminated; there is no need to wash it off the skin surface.

Due to the coagulation of proteins, the so-called “frost” effect occurs; by its parameters you can understand the depth of the skin the peeling affects. Superficial effects are characterized only by erythema, but when dots and clouds appear, we can conclude that the acid has penetrated into the layers of living cells. If TCA reaches the basement membrane, a uniform “frost” will appear on the skin against a background of redness; when it penetrates into the depth of the papillary dermis, it will be dense and white.

The duration of frost preservation depends on the acid concentration. If it is low, the frosting effect will disappear in a couple of minutes, otherwise it will last up to 20-30 minutes. TCA has a cauterizing effect; after its use, a scab is formed, which interferes with further absorption and resorption of the acid.

In addition to TCA, other acids are used in cosmetology. The specialist decides which acne remedy* is best to use for peeling, based on the patient’s clinical picture.

Beneficial properties of trichloroacetic acid for warts

Trichloroacetic acid is a powerful chemical that should be used with caution. If all safety rules are followed, this substance can have a positive effect on the epidermis and eliminate warts of various types.

Important! Most often, trichloroacetic acid is used to remove common and plantar benign tumors caused by the human papillomavirus.

The beneficial properties of trichloroacetic acid in the treatment of warts are as follows:

• Cleansing . The substance literally removes the top layer of skin along with new growths, making the epidermis smooth and clean.
• Regeneration . Under the influence of trichloroacetic acid, the proliferation of skin cells increases. This leads to an improvement in the barrier and regenerative abilities of the dermis.
• Stimulation . The product helps to dilate the blood vessels of the epidermis. This leads to improved metabolic processes and enhances natural collagen synthesis.

In addition, this acid has an antibacterial effect, destroys pathogenic microflora, and also relieves the inflammatory process caused by the development and growth of warts.

Using trichloroacetic acid to combat warts is quite convenient. First, it is relatively safe when used correctly and has no overall toxic effects on the body. Secondly, you can visually control the depth of penetration of the substance by the nature of the “frost”, which is a consequence of denaturation of the dermal protein, which manifests itself in the form of lightening of the surface of the epidermis. Thirdly, trichloroacetic acid distributes well over the skin and gives quick results with minimal preparation.

In addition, the product has an additional effect on the skin of the feet, removes calluses, corns and rough epidermis along with warts.

Which remedy is best for acne*?

It is impossible to make a rating of anti-acne products*, because the drugs are prescribed by a dermatologist individually, depending on the severity of acne (depth, extent of the process, number and shape of acne elements, etc.).

Azelik® is a 15% azelaic acid gel that can be used for mild to moderate acne5. The drug helps normalize keratinization processes and reduce the concentration of free fatty acids on the skin5. Its anti-inflammatory effect is based on its ability to reduce the metabolism of neutrophils and the amount of free radical forms of oxygen they synthesize5. Azelik® gel is active against propionibacteria and Staphylococcus epidermidis5.

To choose the best acne treatment*, you need to consult a dermatologist. We are not always talking about one drug; sometimes a combination of them is required to achieve the best effect. Thus, Azelik® gel can be combined with clindamycin (for example, Clindovit® gel)22.

Instructions for trichloroacetic acid for warts

It is recommended to treat at home only plantar or vulgar (common) warts, which are localized on the feet and hands.

Regardless of whether you use a pure concentrated substance or a preparation based on it, use trichloroacetic acid according to the instructions:

1. Clean the surface of the leather you plan to treat.
2. Apply a drop of the substance directly to the neoplasm.
3. Try to avoid spreading the product onto healthy epidermis. To avoid getting it on the skin, first cover the area around the wart with a thick layer of any fatty cream or Vaseline.
4. Make sure that the entire surface of the tumor is covered with a thin layer of trichloroacetic acid.
5. If the wart is large enough, add one or more drops of the substance.
6. Wait for the product to dry completely.
7. There is no need to remove any remaining substance from the wart; immediately after drying, you can get dressed and begin your daily activities.

It should be understood that warts will not disappear in one procedure. You need to repeat this manipulation for at least 4 days in a row. As a rule, the tumors will disappear within 10 days.

In the first 4 days of using trichloroacetic acid, the warts will gradually peel off along with the epidermis. You can gently facilitate this process by exposing your skin to running warm water from time to time. Do not peel off the crusts!

A few days after the start of treatment, a pinkish area of ​​healthy skin will appear at the site of the wart. Sometimes, as the tumor dies, it darkens. This is normal. The full course of skin restoration can last up to several weeks.

Note! If the tumor is located on a sensitive area of ​​the foot and it causes discomfort when moving, you should protect the skin with a bandage.

Contraindications to the use of trichloroacetic acid

Trichloroacetic acid is a fairly potent chemical. It should be handled with extreme caution so as not to harm the skin. In addition, it has a number of contraindications.

Let's look at them:

• Trichloroacetic acid should not be used on hypersensitive skin, or applied to the face or intimate area.
• Warts should not be treated with trichloroacetic acid if the skin area contains seborrheic keratosis, fibroids, moles, heavy pigmentation, and molluscum contagiosum.
• During pregnancy and lactation, trichloroacetic acid should not be used.
• Diabetes mellitus of both types is also a contraindication to the use of this substance.
• Warts should not be removed from children under 4 years of age.

Important! If there is the slightest doubt that the skin growth is a wart, the use of trichloroacetic acid must be agreed with a dermatologist.

Also, you should not combine this substance with other drugs to remove benign tumors.

If trichloroacetic acid gets on a healthy area of ​​skin, it should be removed immediately with plenty of running water.
