Medical peeling treatment TCA pain control
Medical peeling treatment TCA pain control
Peels have long been praised for their ability to make the skin healthy and significantly improve it, and the Easy TCA® Peel from SkinTech® is no exception.
The Easy TCA® Pain Control Peel has been specially formulated by SkinTech® to combat the signs of skin aging and other skin problems, and offers a remarkable improvement in overall skin texture. While addressing skin texture, wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation usually requires more than one treatment, significant skin improvement is certainly noticeable even after just one treatment.
This treatment combines the power of 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and 3% phenol for remarkable results. Given the short downtime relative to the strength of this peel, you should be aware that you will peel after the treatment, a process that starts a few days after the peel and can last slightly longer than a week. Undergoing a TCA peel is generally well tolerated, but it is helpful to know what to expect during the treatment.
Available treatments:
- 1 Easy TCA® Pain Control Peel treatment without creams and cleanser
- 1x Easy TCA® Pain Control Peel treatment including 2 SkinTech® creams and 1 cleanser (pre-treatment and post-treatment with creams and cleanser)
- 4x Easy TCA® Pain Control Peel treatments as a course including 2 SkinTech® creams and 1 cleanser (pre-treatment and post-treatment with creams and cleanser)
It is advisable to start pre-treating the skin at home with SkinTech® care products. In this case, choose the combination with the "3 SkinTech® products". These products are important for preventing skin pigmentation problems after a TCA treatment. The creams are safe for all skin types.
Easy TCA® Pain Control Peel: safe and secure
Easy TCA® Pain Control Peel penetrates the skin slowly and in a controlled manner with a specially developed 'base solution' that is rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
Easy TCA® is a medium-depth chemical peel that uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and a layer percentage of 3% Phenol to renew the skin. This peel is particularly effective, not only for thicker skin with enlarged pores, but also for thinner and sensitive skin types. The treatment focuses on penetrating deep into the skin layers to increase cell division and the production of important proteins such as collagen and elastin.
A unique feature of Easy TCA® is the Pain Control formulation, which has an analgesic effect to enhance comfort during the treatment. This makes the peel pleasant, even for those who are sensitive to discomfort during skin treatments.
How is the treatment experienced?
At Medicademis, we didn't choose the for nothing 'Easy TCA® Pain Control'variant to increase comfort during the treatment. This makes the treatment reasonably tolerable, but there are some general sensations and reactions you can expect during and after the treatment:
- Burning and tingling sensation: During the application of the peeling solution, you may experience a strong burning or tingling sensation. This is normal and is a sign that the chemicals are working to exfoliate the top layers of the skin.
- Redness and swelling: After the peel, your skin may be red and swollen. This is a normal reaction and should start to subside within a few hours to days.
- Peeling and flaking: In the days following the treatment, the skin will begin to flake and peel.This is the process by which dead skin cells are removed, making room for new skin cells.
- Sensitivity to sunlight: After a chemical peel, the skin is extra sensitive to sunlight. It is important to use a sunscreen with a very high SPF and to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent hyperpigmentation or sunburn.
If you are considering an Easy TCA® Pain Control peel, the options available to you and whether the TCA peel is the best option for you will be discussed during the dermatological examination.
Alternative treatment options
TCA peels are effective, but not suitable for everyone due to their intensity. Sometimes an alternative is better. Below are some alternatives to TCA peels.
- Superficial Peels: At Medikadermis, we call these Level I to II peels. These peels primarily target the epidermis, the top layer of the skin.
- Medium-Depth Peels: At Medicadermis, we call these Level III peels. These peels penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin.
- Jessner's Peeling: A combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol effective against pigmentation, fine lines, and acne.
- TCA 15%-35%: Suitable for treating superficial wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars.
- Phenol peels: Low percentages of phenol are used to work more superficially, primarily targeting the epidermis and the reticular part of the dermis. This type of phenol peel aims to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and superficial pigmentation, without intensively treating the deeper skin layers as is the case with higher concentrations of phenol. This makes it a less aggressive option that can be applied more safely. Phenol is not suitable for dark skin types.
- Microneedling: Microneedling is effective because it reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and tone, helps reduce the visibility of scars, including acne scars, and is suitable for almost all skin types.
- Fractional Erbium Glass Laser Therapy: The Erbium Glass laser promotes natural skin renewal and is highly effective in reducing deep wrinkles and sun damage, offers significant improvements in skin elasticity and firmness, helps reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and provides precise treatment of the deep skin layers without severe damage to the surface layer; therefore, it is also well-suited for darker skin types.
- IPL Rejuvenation (Intense Pulsed Light): IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light therapy specifically for photorejuvenation, uses broad-spectrum light containing various wavelengths. This light penetrates the skin and targets pigment, capillaries, and other irregularities without causing damage to the surrounding skin, allowing multiple issues to be addressed in a single treatment. The therapy is effective against conditions such as rosacea, sun damage, and brown spots. It also helps reduce redness and the visibility of capillaries, stimulates collagen production for skin rejuvenation through biostimulation, and is less invasive than traditional laser therapy.
Each treatment is specifically tailored to certain applications, and results may vary depending on an individual's unique skin condition and needs. A long-term treatment plan offers the best results.
