Does your facial skin make you feel self-conscious that you appear older than you are due to scars, wrinkles, or fine lines? A trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel could help you achieve smoother skin and revitalize your youthful appearance, along with a boost in self-esteem.
A TCA peel treatment in Eugene is a non-invasive chemical peel treatment that deeply exfoliates the top layer of the epidermis to reveal brighter, rejuvenated, and healthier-looking skin. Reach out to our aesthetic experts at our premiere MedSpa, The SpaSide, to learn more or to schedule a consultation.
Chemical peels utilize different active ingredients to loosen the bonds within the upper layer of skin to allow excess oils, dirt, debris, dead skin cells, and other pore-clogging impurities to peel away. Depending on their concentrations, these exfoliation methods can range in the depth they penetrate from superficial to deep. Depending on your skin type and concern, TCA peel treatments in Eugene might be combined with other forms of chemical exfoliation, such as glycolic acid peels, lactic acid peels, or salicylic acid treatments for maximum results.
If you would like to improve the appearance of common skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, irregular skin texture, brown spots, and certain types of acne, a TCA peel could be an excellent option. Suitable candidates for this skincare treatment should:
Although many different skin tones and textures can enjoy the benefits of TCA treatments, it is best to seek a consultation with our aesthetic experts to ensure candidacy. Our team will customize a treatment plan based on your individual needs and skin concerns.
TCA peel treatments in Eugene are typically quick. Your aesthetic expert will start by cleansing your face of makeup and oils to ensure proper contact with your skin’s surface. They may also apply a protectant around the corners of your eyes, nose, and lips so that the product does not come into contact with these areas.
The peel will be applied using a cotton swab, brush, or other applicator. Some mild tingling and warmth may be felt in the treatment areas. If a deeper peel is performed, a numbing agent may be used beforehand. The number of layers that will be applied will depend on desired depth and your skin type. We will leave the peel on for three to five minutes before neutralizing it with cool water. Finally, we will apply a soothing ointment to protect the skin and restore its moisture barrier.
Light peels may need two to three treatment sessions to experience optimal results, while a medium peel is typically sufficient with only one application. You might experience some redness and minor swelling a few days after treatment, and you should avoid direct sunlight as your skin can be extra sensitive. Applying moisturizers daily could help reduce flaking and peeling that will occur for four to ten days.
Having a TCA peel treatment in Eugene is an effective way to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, acne, and aging spots on your skin.
