Skin Rejuvenation and Renewal with TCA Medium Peels
By Dr. Villamarín
Introduction
Aging and photodamage caused by the sun causes wrinkles, spots and a dull appearance. It is usual to see important changes in several layers of the skin during the examination, either with normal light or with Wood’s light, usually related to photodamage from the sun, but also from the passing of time and smoking. These damages are usually pigmentation changes, with spots, but also loss of elasticity and turgor of the skin, and increased folds.
Fortunately, there are numerous treatments available to rejuvenate and renew the skin, and one of the most effective is the medical grade medium peel with trichloroacetic acid (TCA). In this article, we will explore in detail how this procedure works, its benefits, and important considerations.
What is a medium peel with TCA?
The TCA medium peel is a non-surgical procedure that uses trichloroacetic acid at a specific concentration to exfoliate and renew the upper and middle layers of the skin, as well as stimulate cell regeneration. Our Lifting makeover R and Prevent and act Skincare R rejuvenation program includes various types of peels personalized for each patient.
How the medium peel with TCA works?
During the TCA medium peel procedure, a solution of trichloroacetic acid is carefully applied to the skin. The substance penetrates into the upper and middle layers of the epidermis and dissolves both dead and damaged cells. In addition to exfoliating, a controlled inflammatory reaction is produced that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two key elements for regenerating the skin.
Benefits of medium peeling with TCA
General skin rejuvenation
The medium peel with TCA helps to revitalize the skin, improve its radiance and give it a younger and healthier appearance.
Improved skin texture
This peeling is especially effective for treating skin with enlarged pores and irregular texture, thanks to removing the thicker surface layers of the skin, thus achieving smoother and more uniform skin.
Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines
TCA stimulates collagen production, thus helping to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. After multiple TCA medium peel sessions, it is possible to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Treatment of stains and dyschromias
Sun spots, pigmentation irregularities and other pigmentation changes can be significantly improved with TCA medium peels. This promotes skin regeneration with a more uniform appearance.
Stimulation of collagen production
The medium peel with TCA triggers a controlled inflammatory response, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, fundamental proteins to maintain the structure and elasticity of the skin.
Important Considerations and Precautions
Sensitivity and recovery time
After a medium peel with TCA, it is common to have redness, scaling and sensitivity on the treated skin. Recovery time varies depending on the intensity of the peeling. In the case of TCA peels, it usually takes several days for the skin to fully recover.
Solar protection
After the medium peel with TCA, it is essential to protect the treated skin from sun exposure. This exposure can increase the risk of complications and damage the skin in the process of recovery. It is necessary to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure.
progressive results
The results of the TCA medium peel are not immediate and generally require multiple sessions to achieve maximum benefits. Patience and adherence to aftercare guidelines are necessary to obtain the desired results.
Conclusion
The medium peel with TCA is a safe and effective procedure to renew and rejuvenate skin damaged by aging and the sun. Its benefits include improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles and blemishes, and stimulating collagen production.
It is essential to follow the aftercare recommendations to obtain the best results and to ensure the safety of the treated skin.
