Skin Peel Treatments

TCA peel in Tunbridge Wells, Kent

What is a TCA peel?

A TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is a medium depth facial peel, it chemically exfoliates the skin. The solution used penetrates to a greater depth than the complex AHA formulas. This allows a faster action, and results in mild skin peeling around 3-days after the treatment. We have chosen to use Skin Tech’s “Easy Peel” system, as it has a long track record, produces reliable and predictable results, and most importantly, has an excellent safety record.

What are the benefits?

Medium peels are suggested for more significant skin damage and for those wanting to improve the overall quality of their skin.

Benefits include:

  • Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
  • Can tighten skin
  • Improvement in skin texture.
  • Treatment of acne scars and sun damage.
  • Potent and longer-lasting results compared to other chemical peels.

A course of facial peel treatments will improve the appearance and health of your skin by increasing cellular turnover and nourishing the skin for a fresher, healthier complexion. You will see the results after the first treatment and our treatments can usually be performed within an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

How long does it take?

Please allow 1 hour for your first treatment. Please ensure you are make-up free when coming to clinic.

2

Do I need to do anything before my appointment?

You may need to discontinue using certain products a week before your treatment, such as retinol and retinoids. Additionally, you will need to prepare your skin with a cream for 3-4 days before your appointment (this can be collected from clinic)

3

What is the recovery period?

Approximately 4-10 days. Make-up will not be able to be applied for several days & your skin will need about this long to heal after the appointment, so make sure you do not have anything important planned in this timeframe. Normal ‘light’ activities may be resumed immediately following the treatment, exercise after 24hours. Sun will need to be avoided & sunscreen applied.

What about further treatments?

We recommend a course of 4 peels about 2 weeks apart to achieve the maximum benefit for your skin.
