Thinking About a TCA Peel? Read This First!
Do you want fresher, smoother, and younger-looking skin? Then a TCA peel at Juuls Clinic might be for you. This powerful yet effective treatment can address various skin problems and give your skin a real boost. In this blog post, we will tell you everything about the TCA peel: what it is, what it does, who it is suitable for, and what you can expect.
What is a TCA peel?
A TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) peel is a chemical peel that exfoliates the skin in a controlled manner. It is one of the stronger peels we offer at Juuls Clinic and penetrates deeper into the skin than, for example, a fruit acid peel. TCA stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture and a more youthful appearance.
What does a TCA peel do?
A TCA peel addresses various skin problems, including:
- Skin aging: Fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin.
- Pigmentation spots: Both superficial and deeper pigmentation.
- Acne scars: Superficial scars and blemishes caused by acne.
- Large pores: Refinement of the pore structure.
- Sun damage: Skin repair after sun exposure.
Who is a TCA peel suitable for?
A TCA peel is suitable for various skin types, but not for everyone. During a consultation at Juuls Clinic, we will assess your skin and discuss whether this treatment is suitable for you. In general, the TCA peel is suitable for people with:
- A light to medium skin tone.
- Suffering from the aforementioned skin problems.
- A realistic expectation of the results.
Treatment indications:
- Skin rejuvenation
- Reduction of pigmentation spots
- Improvement of acne scars
- Refinement of skin texture
What is a TCA peel good for?
A TCA peel is good for improving overall skin condition. The result is smoother, more even, and radiant skin with fewer imperfections.
What kind of skin reaction can you expect?
After a TCA peel, you can expect the following skin reactions:
- Redness: Immediately after the treatment, the skin is red.
- Swelling: Slight swelling may occur.
- Peeling: After a few days, the skin begins to peel. This can last for several days.
- Sensitivity: The skin may feel sensitive.
Preparation for the TCA peel:
Good preparation is essential for optimal results. Start using Dermaceutic Foamer 15 more than two weeks before the treatment. This mild cleanser prepares the skin for the peel and optimizes the result.
Aftercare after the TCA peel:
After the treatment, good aftercare is crucial. Use Dermaceutic K Ceutic to soothe the skin and promote recovery. This cream intensely hydrates the skin and protects against irritation.
Important aftercare instructions:
- Sun protection: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks after the peel. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (at least SPF 30) daily.
- Activities: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming pools during the recovery period.
- Do not do: Do not pull on loose skin. Let the skin peel naturally. Do not use aggressive scrubs or peels.
- Care during peeling: Continue to hydrate the skin with Dermaceutic K Ceutic.
How long does the skin reaction last?
Most skin reactions, such as redness and peeling, disappear within a week to ten days.
What can you expect from the peel?
You can expect a significant improvement in skin texture, reduction of pigmentation spots, and a more youthful appearance. The final result depends on your skin type and the condition of your skin.
A TCA peel at Juuls Clinic is an effective way to address various skin problems and give your skin a fresh, new start. With the right preparation and aftercare, you can optimally benefit from the results. Make an appointment for a consultation and discover what a TCA peel can do for your skin.
