What are TCA peels used for?
TCA chemical peels offers many noticeable improvements to the skin, to include a reduction in the appearance of scars, signs of aging and sun damage.
As with other chemical-based beauty treatments, TCA peels are generally most successful on lighter-skinned individuals.Allow us to introduce an incredible result-driven addition to our professional treatment offering that offers noticeable improvements to the skin including a reduction in the appearance of scars, signs of aging and sun damage - the TheraVine® TCA 12% Perfecting Pro Peel
Trichloroacetic Acid, commonly referred to as TCA, breaks up keratin, a protein found in the skin, by denaturing the keratin proteins which removes their outer structures. This causes them to stop functioning correctly, lightening in colour and then peel away from the skin over the course of several days. As the layers of damaged skin heals and sheds, healthier, smoother skin is revealed as new collagen is created which is what we aim for when treating fine lines and wrinkles.

TheraVine Professional TCA 12% Perfecting Pro Peel with Phytic Acid 50ml
As there is a big online buzz regarding TCA Peels, it is only normal to wonder what to expect during our TCA 12% Perfecting Pro Peel.
The TCA is applied with gauze and might begin to whiten or frost, which can cause a burning sensation that can be alleviated by fanning the skin. Depending on the level of your course, after approximately five minutes, additional layers can be applied to increase the depth of the peel. Once the desired number of layers have been applied, a cool compress is applied.
The application of a cool alginate plasticising mask helps provide comfort to the skin while locking in moisture after which the advanced IllumaBright® Depigmenting Serum is applied before concluding with a moisture replenishing and calming barrier balm.
The level of skin redness directly after the treatment is normal and will subside however note the incredible improvement in the skin's texture.
Although a course of treatments is recommended to achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, great results can be achieved with a single treatment. It is however important to remember that because each individual's skin care journey is unique, results can't be compared to another.
TCA chemical peels offers many noticeable improvements to the skin, to include a reduction in the appearance of scars, signs of aging and sun damage.
Depending on the Fitzpatrick rating, after the initial consultation, the client will commence a compulsory home care regimen using the IllumaBright® Depigmenting Serum for between 2-4 weeks before the peeling process can begin.
By preparing the skin with this pigment inhibiting homecare, the enzyme that produces melanin in the skin is regulated which helps to prevent the possibility of post inflammatory pigmentation. This will further enhance the outcome of the treatment and better maintain the results obtained.
NOTE: When establishing treatment/course costs, it is advisable to include the relevant before/aftercare to aid the recovery of the skin post-treatment as well as achieving maximum results.
This can include but it not limited to the IllumaBright® Depigmenting Serum, Post Treatment Recovery Kit and Multi-Defence SPF50.
