Best TCA 15% Skin Chemical Face Facial Peel - Age Spots - Sun Damage

NORMAL SIDE EFFECTS:

* Swelling

* Redness/soreness of application area

* Rashing/flaking/peeling (peeling generally starts the 3rd-5th day)

* Temporary darkening of skin (once peeling starts these will (in most cases) dissapear). Exposing your skin to the sun after an acid application can cause temporary or possibly permaneant darkening of the skin.

* Frosting (TCA can cause this) of the skin

* Blemishes/acne may occur follwing a skin peel as the pores are being deeply cleansed by acids - this is NORMAL

*Sensitivity to the sun and other products - Other skin products may burn or feel uncomfortable to use immediately following a peel. 

It is extremely important to remember that a chemical peel is the willful application of an ACID to produce a controlled injury to the skin. By intentionally causing “damage”, ythe acids cause the outermost layers of the epidermis to slough off to reveal newer, fresher skin. WARNING: If you are at all unsure about any aspects of using this product, DO NOT proceed. By purchasing and using this product, you do so at your own discretion and assume all liability for the outcome

What to do before?

If your practitioner has deemed you suitable for this treatment you must:

• Stop using active ingredients such as retinol and acids for 7 days before your peel
• Not sunbathe or use a tanning bed at least a month before your treatment
• Not use self-tanning topical products for two weeks before your chemical peel
• Not have any injectable to cosmetic dermatology treatments within two weeks of your peel.

If you are at risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), your practitioner may decide to put you on a tailored skincare regime 4-6 weeks before your peel.

What to expect during the peel 

The process is extremely quick. Your face will be thoroughly washed before the application of the chemical peel. Sensitive areas such as the corners of your eyes, lips and nose will be protected with vaseline (which will prevent the peel working in these areas). The peel is applied and left on your skin for approximately 3-5 minutes and then a final cream is applied which helps to soothe the burning and stinging feeling you may experience. Most patients tolerate this very short-lived sensation well and as soon as the final cream is applied, the sensation starts to reduce and disappear. Your practitioner's final step is to apply SPF before you leave and you should avoid UV exposure following your treatment. You are advised to wash the TCA peel away with a gentle cleanser 10-12 hours after your treatment. Time your treatment well if you want to avoid waking up in the middle of the night to wash your peel off!

What to expect after

Immediately after your peel, your face will appear red and a little frosty. Often people describe the appearance as "looking a bit burnt". The redness subsides by the next day and your skin will start to feel a little tight. Your skin will start to shed from day 3-4 and shedding can last up to 7-10 days.

Some rules to follow:

• Do not exercise/use saunas/use jacuzzi for 48 hours following your peel
• Avoid direct UV exposure (sunbathing and tanning) for at least 4 weeks after your peel. Something to consider if you have holidays planned
• Do not pick your shedding skin, this can lead to pigmentation.
• Do not use any active ingredients until your skin has stopped shedding for 7 consecutive days
• Apply SPF religiously, you don't want to do more damage
• Do not book any cosmetic treatments for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.
• Keep your face moisturised and reach out to your practitioner if you are concerned about any adverse effects.

Preparing for a TCA Peel

1. Determine if you are a suitable candidate for a TCA peel. TCA peels can have positive impacts on your skin by removing signs of aging and acne. However, there are certain instances when you should not apply a TCA peel. Do not use a TCA peel if you:
• Have cuts, broken skin, or received a recent facial surgical procedure.
• Have a sunburn.
• Have active Herpes simplex 1 sores.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have taken Accutane in the last year.
• Have recently received chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

• Use products that contain alpha hydroxy acids 5-7 days before the peel. In order to prepare your skin for a TCA peel and make the treatment more effective, you should use a face product that contains AHAs, such as glycolic or lactic acids. There are a variety of creams, lotions, and toners available for your skin. Begin using this product approximately five to seven days before applying the peel.

• Read all the instructions provided with the peel. TCA peels can be purchased through online retailers or through a dermatologist. Once you have acquired a TCA solution, you should read and follow all of the instructions provided by the manufacturer. TCA peels can be highly acidic so it is very important that you follow all directions.

• Test the TCA on a small patch of skin. This way you will be able to determine if the acid solution is too strong or if you are allergic to the solution. For example, if you want to apply a TCA peel to your face, you should test a small patch of skin under your ear. This area is out of the way and will not be overly visible if you have a negative reaction. Always test the skin near the area you want to treat.
• Rinse the test patch of skin once it starts to burn.

• Wait 48 hours to apply the peel. This way you will know how the peel will react on your skin. If the spot that was tested becomes itchy, red, or bumpy, you should not apply the peel to your skin. This is likely a sign that you are experiencing an allergic reaction.

Applying a TCA Peel

1. Remove surface oils using a prep solution. Some TCA peels will come with a prep solution that should be applied to your skin prior to administering the peel. These solutions help to fully dry out your skin and remove any lingering surface oils.
• If you did not purchase a prep solution, you can apply witch hazel or diluted rubbing alcohol to your skin using gauze.

1. Apply petroleum jelly around the eyes, mouth, and nose. If you are applying a TCA peel to your face, you want to protect some sensitive areas from the acid. In order to do this, use a cotton swab to apply a bit of petroleum jelly to your lips, and the skin around your eyes and nostrils. This will prevent the acid from damaging these sensitive areas.
• You may want to wear safety goggles to prevent any TCA solution from dripping into your eyes. You will still have to apply petroleum jelly to your nose and mouth, however.

1. Put on latex gloves. While working with the TCA solution, you want to be careful that the acid does not touch other areas of skin. As a result, you should always wear latex gloves to protect your hands from the acid. This is especially important if you are applying the TCA using gauze because it will likely come into contact with your fingers.

1. Pour the TCA solution into a small dish. Place a small dish on your counter and pour some of the TCA solution into the dish. This will make it easy for you to dip your brush or gauze into the solution while you are applying the TCA to your skin.
