Medical peeling treatment TCA pain control

I use a medical TCA peel when I want to renew the skin more intensively than with a superficial peel. Depending on your skin, I can consider the treatment in case of:

• A coarse or irregular skin texture.
• Selected superficial acne scars.
• Certain pigment changes.
• Sun damage.
• Fine lines and signs of skin aging.

It is not just about strength of the peel, but especially to what we want to achieve with the treatment. For pigmentation problems, for example, I look first to the cause and the sensitivity of your skin for new pigment formation.

A more intensive peel is not automatically more suitable than a milder treatment.Sometimes it fits a Bio-Herbal Peel, microneedling or IPL better suited to the skin type.

After acne, various skin changes lag behind. Sometimes it mainly concerns red or brown spots, but there can be real scars also develop: dimples or depressions in the skin.

A TCA peel can be used for selected superficial acne scars become considered when I the skin surface wants to renew as a whole. For deeper scars, a other treatment or combination of techniques possibly more suitable.

Can TCA also be applied topically?

For specific individual acne scars there are techniques where TCA very aimed in or on a scar is applied.

This local application has a different goal and a different method than a peel over a larger area skin area. Not every scar is suitable for this.

The shape, width and depth of the scar, your skin type and sensitivity to pigment changes determine which approach is responsible. Any local scar treatment I assess separately; these is not automatically part of the Easy TCA treatment.

And what if you still have active acne?

For active, severely inflamed acne I will first focus on reducing of the inflammation. When the acne is quieter, we can better judge which scars, pigment spots or structural changes have stayed behind.

Look at our acne treatments and read more about the different types of acne scars .

TCA stands for trichloroacetic acid. When TCA is applied to the skin applied, a controlled chemical reaction that a repair and sets a renewal process in motion.

At Medikadermis, I work with Easy TCA® Pain Control from SkinTech®. The peel contains 15% TCA and 3% phenol. and is applied according to the associated treatment protocol.

The Pain Control formulation has been developed to make the treatment more tolerable to do. That does not mean that you feel nothing. During application the skin may clearly burn or sting.

What happens after the treatment?

The skin needs time to to repair. In the days after the peeling she is often first drier and tighter. Then the shedding begins.

This distinguishes a more intensive one TCA treatment of a mild, superficial peel. I discuss in advance which recovery time you can expect.

After acne, I regularly see various skin changes at the same time. Think of small pits, deeper scars, redness and pigment spots.

Which treatment is appropriate depends of the type of skin change, the depth, your skin type and the desired recovery time.

TCA peel

A chemical treatment for controlled skin renewal. I can consider TCA for an irregular skin texture, certain superficial acne scars, pigment changes and sun damage.

SkinPen microneedling

I stimulate with fine needles the natural recovery process and collagen production. Microneedling might be interesting with fine pits, an irregular skin texture and certain superficial to moderate deepened acne scars.

Look at SkinPen microneedling .

ResurFX fractional laser

ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser of 1565 nm. The laser provides controlled heat columns in the skin and thereby stimulates collagen remodeling.

This technique can be used at selected atrophic acne scars become deployed to the underlying to improve skin structure.

Look at ResurFX for acne scars .

IPL for active acne

Do you have mainly red, inflamed Pimples that keep coming back? Then the emphasis is first on the treatment of active acne.

With suitable Inflammatory acne can IPL with the specific acne filter of the Lumenis M22 a be an additional treatment option.

Look at IPL for active acne .

And red or brown residual spots?

Red or brown spots after acne are not the same as deepened acne scars. When especially the color has changed of the skin, can another treatment be more suitable.

I will assess your skin beforehand. and we discuss the treatment area, the preparation and the recovery time. When the skin is sufficient prepared, I perform the peel out according to the treatment protocol from SkinTech.

During application, you can a burning or stinging experience feeling. How intense that feels different per person.

What can you expect after the peel?

Immediately after the treatment, can the skin red, warm and sensitive be. In the days that follow, becomes the skin often drier and tighter, after which shedding begins.

Shedding usually begins a few days after the treatment and can be visible for well over a week remain. The precise recovery varies by skin and treatment intensity.

Do not pull peeling skin away on your own. With that, you can disrupt the recovery and the risk of pigment changes or increase scar formation.

Keep in mind when planning the treatment taking into account work, social obligations and any holidays.

With a more intensive chemical Peeling is not only the treatment itself is important. Also the condition of the skin beforehand and the care during Recovery plays a role.

Therefore, I can advise to start in advance with the intended for that purpose SkinTech skincare. Even after the peeling, specific products used to guide the recovery.

Especially with skin that is susceptible to pigment changes I pay extra attention to the preparation, the treatment intensity and consistent UV protection.

What should you keep in mind after the peel?

• Follow the personal aftercare schedule.
• Use the recommended recovery products.
• Avoid irritating skin products until the skin has recovered sufficiently.
• Protect the skin carefully against UV radiation.
• Let peeling skin come off on its own.

You will receive clear instructions for preparation and the care after the treatment.

No. Easy TCA Pain Control is an intensive treatment. I assess in advance whether your skin is suitable for this.

Your skin type, pigment sensitivity, active skin problems, wound healing, medication, recent sun exposure and previous treatments can influence the choice of treatment.

In case of active skin infections, severely irritated skin or a damaged skin barrier may it be necessary to to postpone the treatment.

If you are pregnant, give breastfeeding or are you using medication? Then give it. Always through in advance. I assess whether the treatment is responsible in your situation.

How many treatments are needed?

That depends on the skin problem and the desired result. Even after just one treatment, it is possible change the skin, but for improvement of skin texture, pigment, fine lines or scars are often multiple treatments needed.

Easy TCA Pain Control can therefore also be used as a course of treatment be carried out. Between treatments the skin receives sufficient time to recover.

assess during the process I again and again how The skin reacts. That is why I prefer not to lay for every skin type established exactly the same treatment plan.
