Young, hydrated skin without signs of pigmentation and enlarged pores is truly beautiful. It is precisely these results that can be achieved by the use of peels.
Modern cosmetology cannot be imagined without the effective introduction into practice of peeling based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA), which has unique properties that distinguish it favorably from other acids used in aesthetic medicine.
estet-portal.com interviewed gynecologist, certified cosmetologist Irina Neskromnaya, who will share the secrets of express skin rejuvenation using TCA-based peeling.
Based on what parameters do you choose the peeling procedure
I.N.: When patients come to me to improve the quality of their skin, I always pay attention to their age, general health, I evaluate the severity of photo- and chrono-aging, skin features, find out information about the drugs that patients receive at the moment and the composition of care products for home use, take into account the time of year and the planned vacation to countries with a high degree of insolation.

For patients with dense porous skin, with post-acne scars, with fine and deep wrinkles, I always suggest (taking into account individual contraindications) to consider the option of skin treatment with median peeling.
The degree of aggression of the median peel procedure depends on the patient's readiness for rehabilitation.

What are the distinctive features of trichloroacetic acid peeling
I.N.: 15% trichloroacetic acid peeling is a medical product. The depth of penetration of the peeling composition is determined not only by the concentration of the material, but also by the number of layers applied to the skin. When you stop applying new layers of peeling, penetration stops, as TCA is quickly neutralized as it moves through the layers of the skin, causing proteins to coagulate.
Due to the controlled trauma of the epidermis and the irritating effect of the peeling, the renewal of the epidermis and the stimulation of reparative and metabolic processes are ensured.

Trichloroacetic acid peeling: what a specialist needs to consider
I.N.: In my practice, I prefer Easy TCA Classic peeling, which has proven itself on the market, presented by «Academy of Scientific Beauty» .
Indications for its use are as follows:
1. photoaging,
2. fading skin,
3. small and deep wrinkles ("pouch", "crow's feet"),
4. post-acne scars,
5. hyperpigmentation.
It is extremely important to remember the absolute contraindications for TCA peels:
• taking COCs (combined oral contraceptives),
• taking retinoids,
• mental illness (neurosis),
• progressive melasma,
• pregnancy and lactation.

TCA based peeling protocol
I.N.: Preparation for TCA peeling includes:
1. 3-4 weeks before, stop using washcloths, scrubs in the area of the intended procedure,
2. do not epilate for 1 month,
3. do not shave the day before the peeling (if the patient is a man),
4. apply 3-8% cream with AHA acids 7-14 days before bedtime to soften the skin and weaken the connection between corneocytes.
During the procedure, the patient feels a pronounced burning sensation.
At the time of the procedure, protein coagulation occurs, which is manifested by frost.
From the uniformity of the frost effect, one can judge the uniformity of peeling on all treated areas and the depth of penetration. The number of layers is determined based on the individual characteristics of the patient's skin, indications and the desired depth of exposure.
Exposure between coats is 2-3 minutes. I usually apply 3-4 layers on my face. Then — post-peel mask, which is included in the Easy TCA Classic set. The mask has a unique composition and pH 5.5. The patient immediately after its application ceases to feel pain.
Trichloroacetic acid peeling: rehabilitation period
IN: After peeling for 24 hours, I recommend not to wet the skin. C the first day and until the films and crusts are completely exfoliated, I prescribe special Skin Tech cosmetics, presented by «Academy of Scientific Beauty» for daily skin care: IPLase Mask 2 times a day, sunscreen Melablok HSF SPF 30 once a day.
It is mandatory to use sunscreen for at least 2 months after the TCA peel.
I warn you about the categorical inadmissibility of forced removal of the appeared crusts, scales or films.
After peeling, the feeling of tightening of the skin increases, edema and erythema may increase. The next day, brown crusts and films appear (“baked apple”), which begin to peel off from day 3. And this process can take up to two weeks. After rejection of the coagulation film, bright pink skin is exposed, which by the end of the 2-4th week acquires a natural normal color.
The duration of skin recovery, as well as the severity of side effects, is directly related to the amount of the applied drug and its concentration and can last up to 30 days. Additionally, TCA peeling can be combined with the introduction of botulinum toxin, retinol peeling 2 weeks after the procedure.
Thus, peeling with trichloroacetic acid in the hands of a professional becomes a powerful weapon against skin imperfections.
