Medial peeling (TCA peeling)

In general, peeling is divided into species independing on the type of skin exposure. Therefore, the medial peeling refers to chemical peeling - in this form of peeling, trichloroacetic acid is used as the active cleaning component. You can find another name for it - TCA peeling, this is an abbreviation for the English name of the acid - trichloroacetic acid.

Trichloroacetic acid is a potent substance. It easily penetrates through the stratum corneum into deeper layers. Thanks to its marked bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect this acid helps fight acne. But this advantage of trichloroacetic acid at the same time is its drawback - if the medial peeling is not carried out by all rules, there is a chance of getting serious skin damage.

Usually, median peeling is recommended for women aged 30 to 50 years - up to 30 years, it is quite possible to do more gentle procedures. Median peeling is used to treat:

  post-acne (redness, spots and scars remaining after acne)
• 
  premature aging of the skin
• 
  consequences of sharp weight loss
• 
  hyperpigmentation of the skin
• 
  keratoses

The procedure itself takes an average of no more than an hour, but do not wait for an instant result - the recovery of the skin after the procedure will take about two weeks.

For median peeling is characteristic of the so-called "Frost effect" (frost effect). A few minutes after application of the formulationfor peeling on the skin formed a white coating, really reminiscent of hoarfrost. It is a protective film of denatured protein, which protects the skin from deeper penetration of acid.

A few days after the procedureon the skin of the face a thin crust is formed. Then this crust begins to peel, while the skin looks as if you burned in the sun.
