Veelgestelde vragen over Dermaceutic TCA 18% Peeling

What is the difference between the TCA 18% Peel and the TCA 12% Peel?

The TCA 18% Peel is more powerful than the 12% variant due to the higher concentration of trichloroacetic acid. This higher concentration ensures a deeper effect in the skin layers, making the 18% Peel more effective in treating deeper wrinkles, stubborn pigmentation and acne scars. The more intensive effect results in more visible peeling and a longer recovery time (7-10 days versus 5-7 days for the 12% variant), but also produces more pronounced results. The 18% Peel is suitable for clients who have previously undergone a 12% TCA treatment or for those who require a more intensive skin renewal.

How do I prepare for a TCA 18% Peel treatment?

Proper preparation is essential for optimal results and minimal complications. Begin using home preparation products prescribed by your skin care professional, such as products containing vitamin A acid or glycolic acid, 2-4 weeks prior to treatment to ‘train’ the skin. Stop using all exfoliants, retinol and self-tanners for at least 7-10 days prior to treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 30+ daily. Inform your skin care professional of any medications (especially antibiotics and Roaccutane), skin conditions or history of cold sores as these may affect the treatment.

What does the recovery phase after a TCA 18% Peel look like?

The recovery phase after a TCA 18% Peel takes place in several stages over 7-10 days:

Day 1-2: Intense redness, swelling and a tight, burning sensation

Day 3-4: Skin darkens and begins to tighten

Day 5-7: Significant shedding, starting around the mouth and eyes and spreading over the face

Day 7-10: Shedding is mostly complete, but the new skin is still pink and tender

It is important to limit social and professional commitments during this time. Most clients can return to their normal routine after 10-14 days, although slight redness may persist for several weeks.

How often can I have a TCA 18% Peel, and when is the best time?

A TCA 18% Peel can be performed 1-3 times per year, with a minimum of 3-4 months between treatments to allow the skin to fully recover. The ideal period for this treatment is between October and March when the UV index is low. TCA treatments should definitely be avoided during the late spring and summer months due to the increased risk of hyperpigmentation due to sun exposure. For optimal long-term results, skin care professionals often recommend a combination of one TCA 18% treatment per year, supplemented with gentler maintenance peels such as the Milk Peel or Crystal Peel throughout the year. After each full recovery phase, it is important to maintain results with appropriate home care and sun protection.
