Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Peel

Important Advice for patients treated with TCA

1. Soon after your treatment with TCA there may be slight redness to the skin, especially when the face is treated. This is perfectly normal and as a general rule should disappear within one or two hours.

2. Skin treated with TCA should not be washed until the following morning. Avoid contact with water on all treated areas until the morning following the treatment.

3. Avoid jewellery and/or metals coming into contact with the treated areas until the day following the treatment.

4. Always use a sun protection cream (minimum SPF25) for at least two weeks following the TCA treatment. Patients receiving TCA treatment have no natural resistance to UVA or UV13 light and exposure to the sun, even in winter, can cause damage to the skin.

5. Always use the moisturiser or treatment cream recommended by your practitioner, twice a day (evening and morning)

6. Do not use moisturisers or creams that contain AHA's (fruit acids) as they may cause excessive and possibly detrimental exfoliation leading to skin damage.

I have always had problem skin; acne scars from my teenage years, dark patches from sun exposure over the years and a general “blah” appearance. I was keen on having a chemical peel after seeing it on one of those make-over shows. The normal skin peels from the beauty shops that I’d had a couple of times just weren’t strong enough to make a difference, and because I have darker skin, I was worried that a stronger peel might result in a patchy look.

At my consultation, the procedure, treatment expectations and results were explained to me in detail. I wanted to go ahead and have the treatment done right away but was told I would need to use a skin preparation cream for two weeks prior to the treatment to prevent the blotchy effect I had dreaded.

After my course of four peels, my skin feels so soft and everyone has commented on how much better it looks. In fact three of my girlfriends have had the peel done after seeing the effects on my skin. Even though I didn’t think they had problem skin I have noticed that their skin definitely looks better. Now I don’t feel I must wear make-up and can get by with some light powder when I’m going out.
