How TCA Skin Peels Work
While it is true that physical beauty is just skin deep, it is
still no reason why people, particularly women, should disregard
basic skin care. Since the skin is our outermost layer, it is
exposed to the harsh elements of the environment. And because it
is not uncommon for people to base judgments from our cover,
with the face being the first thing they look at, it is only
proper that we go to great lengths to keep our skin looking
clean and fresh.
There are a lot of skin care products in the market today.
Unlike before when a normal bar of soap was used for skin
cleansing, cosmetic companies are now producing a wide variety
of skin care treatments that can address various skin concerns.
However, there are cases when treatments need to be more
aggressive, especially for those who have aging or blemished
skin. Most, if not all, of the over-the-counter products are
topical in nature, meaning it only affects the epidermis or the
outer layer of the skin. Aging or blemished skin needs to be
treated down to the root of the problem to see definite changes.
This is where skin peeling comes in. While OTC medicines treat
minor skin irritations, skin peeling makes use of more
concentrated drugs to accelerate the removal of dead skin cells
from the surface of the skin, thus producing regeneration of new
and younger-looking skin cells. Out of all the skin peeling
procedures available, the TCA skin peel is the most popular.
TCA Peel, which stands for Trichloroacetic Peel, used
trichloroacetic acid to remove superficial blemishes such as
post-acne scars, correct pigment problems (melasma) and smooth
out fine surface wrinkles. On some occasions, TCA Peel has
even
been used to remove and prevent the growth of pre-cancerous
lesions. It is an intermediate to deep peeling agent that is
normally used in 10 to 35% concentrations, depending on the
extent of peeling that the patient wishes to achieve.
According to Dr. Jean M. Loftus, an American plastic surgeon who
is recognized as an expert in the field of cosmetic surgery,
claims that the TCA peel is "perfect for women who want to have
more than superficial peel but cannot afford the expense or
recovery time of a deeper treatment. A good alternative to
having the treatment done at a clinic would be through one of
the medically-certified kits available online.
Unlike more aggressive modes of treatment, the TCA skin peel is
considered as a minor office procedure and can be done within 15
minutes to an hour. Since TCA is a chemical that will slough off
the dead surface of the skin, patients may feel a burning
sensation once it is applied. Some surgeons offer their patients
pain killers or sedatives in order to tolerate the pain of the
procedure. After taking the medicine, TCA is then applied to the
problem areas, one area at a time. It is only normal that the
face turns slightly red after the chemical has been applied -
this means that the TCA is already working its purpose. Iced
saline is applied on the face after the procedure, to avoid
further discomfort brought about by the chemical. The face will
achieve to its normal color after 15 to 45 minutes. To finish
off the procedure, an oil-based or steroid ointment will be
slathered on the face to prevent the skin from being overly dry
and to retain its normal moisture level.
