What is a TCA medium peel ? 

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. 

The principle: how does an average peel work ?

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:

This treatment is both a preventive and a curative solution, and is particularly recommended for fair skins ranging from phototype 1 to phototype 4.

The medium peel is performed on various parts of the body, such as the hands, neck, face and décolleté. It works by smoothing the skin and providing photo rejuvenation, softening fine lines and wrinkles, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, lightening melanin spots (such as melasma or sun spots), softening roughness (such as actinic keratosis, horny areas or scars), evening out skin tone and toning the epidermis.

Before embarking on an average peel, it's important to take into account certain contraindications and precautions. This treatment is not recommended if you suffer from skin diseases, if you have lesions on your face, if you're pregnant or if you have wound-healing disorders.

You should also avoid exposure to the sun in the weeks leading up to your medium peel. 

Procedure for a TCA facial peel

Before the medium peel

Before starting the medium peel, your practitioner will recommend a daily local treatment for about 3 weeks. This will allow your melanocytes (pigment cells) to rest and exfoliate your skin.

Preparing your skin properly by applying the prescribed cream is essential to the success of the procedure. Regular, gradual exfoliation over the preceding 3 weeks will optimize the effects of the peel during the session and ensure maximum results.

During the TCA peel session

During the TCA peel session, your Paris aesthetic doctor will use his or her medical experience and knowledge to choose the right dilution of the product and the appropriate action time.

For a TCA peel, he or she will generally opt for trichloroacetic acid at a concentration of 12-18%, but may go as high as 30% depending on the area to be treated and the lesions to be removed.

After the trichloroacetic acid peel (medium peel)
