Learn About TCA
TCA (Tricholoracetic Acid) Chemical peels are deeper than Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) Chemical Peels in skin resurfacing, and are generally referred to as a "medium depth" Chemical Peel or light to medium skin resurfacing. Can be used for skin types I-V. Ideal for darker skin tone since they are at higher risk for of hyper or hypo pigmentation with more aggressive treatment such as active fx or portrait.
TCA is typically used in concentrations ranging from 15-35%.
When TCA is applied to the skin, it causes the top layers of cells to dry up and peel off over several days. When the old skin has peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin which has a smoother texture and more even color.
There is a strong demand for these types of peels fuelled by the TV and celebrity endorsement.
It is a very satisfying treatment to perform as the results can be fantastic and clients are very happy to have had a treatment that has made a real difference.
As well as TCA you will also learn about other advanced techniques such as boosting and layering peels.
The Treatment
An average course of peels is once every 6-8 weeks depending on the depth. It takes about 45 mins to perform.
TCA Peels can improve:
- Deep Wrinkles
- Photo ageing
- Age Spots
- Stretch Marks
- Superficial acne scarring
