TCA Skin Peel: Cost-Effective Way to Treat Acne
Acne, pimples, sunspots, age spots, wrinkles and other blemishes
are skin conditions that plague people the world over. The
global beauty industry already makes billions of dollars every
year as women everywhere embark on quests to preserve (or
achieve) a youthful, glowing appearance. Responding to this
need, dermatologists, and other specialists continue to look for
the best and safest possible treatments and formulations to
combat skin ailments, the most common of which is acne.
Apart from the services offered at skin clinics, many creams,
gels and ointments that claim to treat acne, diminish sun or age
spots and enhance skin elasticity are widely available in the
market. There are scrubs, cleansers, masks, over-the-counter
skin medicine and skin peel formulations, all offered at various
price ranges. Most can be bought at department stores or
drugstores, but the fact is that very few of these so- called
"miracle" products actually work. And the latest medical
research has shown that what does work as a proven treatment for
acne, are skin peels. Plastic surgeon Dr. Keith Leiberman
explains: "Unlike other techniques, TCA skin peels get to the
root of the problem with acne, resulting in tremendously
effective results - leaving the patient with noticeably fresher,
smoother skin and great texture...without the acne! "
The TCA peel, or trichloroacetic acid skin peel, is recommended
by many doctors and skin specialists as it is a medium-strength
treatment that is among the safest, most effective, as well as
easiest to use. It sloughs off layers of dull dead skin that may
cover up the source of acne. It also enhances the blood flow and
circulation in the skin, promoting skin cell rejuvenation and
the build up of
skin-strengthening collagen and elastin.
Conventional skin peel treatments that involve suction-type
dermabrasion can cause further damage, as it can bruise the skin
and break some small blood vessels. Those who wish to treat
their acne and other skin problems with TCA can control the
strength of the treatment by starting off with a weak solution
and gradually working their way up to more concentrated mixtures
as needed.
TCA can be mixed with other previously prepared creams such as
Obagi or applied directly. It is important to remember that TCA
skin peels should not exceed more than 20 minutes on one's skin.
The time limit generally depends on the strength or
concentration of the mixture and the type of skin. Because of
the chemical content, doctors recommend applying a neutralizer,
such as a simple mixture of baking soda and water, to calm and
stabilize the skin after the TCA peel is applied. Users should
wait about six months before applying another treatment.
TCA peels are great for treating acne and less expensive than
clinic or spa-based treatments. Websites such as
www.bestskinpeel.com offer this effective product at a fraction
of the price one would normally pay per session or treatment at
salons and spas. The set offered by this particular website is
priced at under $30.00 and includes one ounce of medical-grade
50%-concentrate TCA skin peel (good enough for about 30
treatments) as easy-to-follow instructions by a licensed
practitioner. Why pay hundreds of dollars when you can do this
treatment at home? Apart from the 50%-concentrate, many
suppliers also offer as low as an 8%-concentrate TCA skin peel
for users with more sensitive skin.
