What are the benefits of TCA peeling?
Let's take a closer look at the question - what is a TCA peel? This type of peel (also known as a "chemical peel" or "medium peel") is a dermatological-aesthetic procedure in which a substance called "trichloroacetic acid" (engl: trichloroacetic acid (TCA)) is used. This is absorbed into the upper layers of the skin during the treatment and dissolves the old and dead skin cells from there, while at the same time stimulating the renewal of the skin cells.
This also leads to the formation of new collagen and elastin in the epidermis and the freshness of the skin returns to its former strength. After the top layer of skin is removed down to the reticular dermis, the new fresh skin forms naturally. Is TCA peeling dangerous for your body? No, it is not. As the TCA is not absorbed by the body, it does not pose a risk to the skin. Beauty treatments does not pose a health risk.
Is a TCA peel right for you?
At Beauty2Go we offer you a range of treatments. Besides Hyaluron treatments and Migraine treatments TCA peeling is also part of our range. We recommend a chemical peel in cases where a stronger effect than the fruit acid peel is desired. A TCA peel therefore makes the most sense when skin irregularities such as acne scars, enlarged pores, superficial scars, wrinkles or sun-induced skin damage need to be removed. We are also often asked whether a TCA peel can reduce pigmentation spots and this is indeed possible.
In addition, you should not only ask what TCA peeling is, but also what it can do and where it can be used. In addition to facial treatment, TCA peeling is also ideal for areas such as the décolleté, neck, arms and hands. In many cases, just one treatment is enough to achieve the desired result.
What about deep damage? Can TCA peeling help here too? The answer is yes. However, please note that in such cases several treatments are necessary, which must be repeated after two to four weeks of regeneration. We at Beauty2Go will work out the exact treatment plan with you. Our competent and friendly Team takes a close look at your skin and can create your individual treatment plan based on this.
How long does a TCA peel last? Our tips
On healthy skin, a TCA Peeling low-risk and well tolerated. Nevertheless, the skin reacts slightly to the treatment and is reddened immediately afterwards. For another two to three days, the skin is also drier than usual and brittle. To counteract this, after the Beauty treatment during aftercare must be particularly thorough.
Care for the treated area intensively in the morning and evening with a moisturizing lotion. Apart from this, activities can be resumed as usual immediately after the peeling. You should only refrain from going to the sauna or solarium until the skin has completely healed.
What can I expect some time after the TCA peel? The first results are visible after around seven days and the redness is as good as gone. As the peeling reduces the melanin content of the skin (bleaching effect), the skin also becomes lighter. To ensure that the effect of the peeling does not disappear, it is therefore important to pay particular attention to effective sun protection (SPF 50 minimum) in the weeks following the treatment.
If you follow these few tips, TCA peeling is the perfect way to achieve beautiful, natural skin renewal and results that will give your self-confidence a real boost.
