Medium peel TCA in Luxembourg
Among the various methods of aesthetic medicine, the medium peel is distinguished by its action, which aims to eliminate the upper layer of the epidermis down to the junction between the dermis and the epidermis (superficial dermis).
Compared with deep peels, which can have spectacular clinical effects but also significant side effects, and superficial peels, which are gentler and more preventive, the medium peel falls somewhere in between. It's often called a TCA peel, because it uses a chemical solution based on TCA acid.
Whether for the face, hands or décolleté, the medium peel is recommended both as a preventive treatment and as a treatment to revitalize the skin and stimulate the tissues, giving them a more youthful appearance.
The medium peel is a deep-acting treatment, penetrating both the epidermis and superficial dermis to renew them. However, it is essential to choose the right acid, at the right concentration, and to respect the action time to avoid reaching the deep dermis. The difference between a medium peel and a deep peel lies mainly in the duration of action and the concentration of the active ingredient used.
Resorcinol and phenol, for example, can be used for both types of peel, depending on their dilution and the time they are applied to the skin.
To ensure safety during medium facial peels, we recommend the use of slow-penetrating, controlled trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Depending on the desired effect, its concentration can vary from 12% to 18% or more.
Let's take a look at how the average peel works. The skin is a bit like a two-tier sandwich:
On one side, we have the epidermis, the superficial layer that acts as the body's guardian. It is not vascularized, which means it has no blood vessels, and performs a protective function.
On the other side, we have the dermis, the support layer which is full of blood vessels. This is what gives the skin its youthful elasticity, firmness and all the rest.
Peels, on the other hand, have a very specific aim: to give skin a new look by accelerating the skin's natural renewal process.
How does it work? Well, the peel "peels" different layers of the skin to stimulate regeneration:
