With the proper pre-treating, it is safe for use on all skin colors from very light to very dark.
It can be applied as a light, medium or even a deep peel – all with the same percentage. It just depends on the quantity of layers you want to apply or how much solution is on your gauze.
The reason I want to talk about TCA today, is because we want to make sure you are fully understanding the mechanics of the acid, which percentages you should be using and which you should be avoiding at all costs.
If you are not fully understanding everything, you may not be happy with your results.
First I am going to talk about how to prepare your skin for a TCA peel, and then what the percentages are good for, and finally how to apply the acid itself to get the best benefits.
Preparation
It is so important to prepare your skin prior to applying an acid like TCA. The better prepared your skin is – the less likely you will run into any unintended consequences.
Dark skin: If you have skin that is not very fair, it is a good bet that you will need to prep your skin with a melanin inhibitor before your TCA peel.
Likewise, if you have light skin but are dealing with pigmentation issues, you too will need to prepare.
The reason we want to use a melanin inhibitor is because of PIH or Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. If you have ever had a pimple – you know exactly what this phenomenon is.
Your skin gets inflamed from a pimple… then once it heals you are left with a pink mark (if you have light skin) or a dark mark (if you have darker skin). This is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The words explain it perfectly. Basically, your inflammation caused a darkened spot to remain on your skin. Yes, it will go away one day … but for many “one day” is much too far away. Some spotting can take several weeks to several months to go away.
When you apply a strong acid to your skin – it too could potentially cause inflammation in the skin. We now know that this can cause the skin to darken, so we need to reduce the likeliness of that happening.
You never want to apply a chemical peel to uneven textured skin. There are many ways to prepare your skin, such as using a hydroxy acid serum, cleanser or toner daily – but the preferred method for TCA is always vitamin A. So use that if you can.
Retinol stimulates the skin to turn over more quickly. A hyper-regeneration as it were. This, in turn, will make your skin smoother and your pores clear.
Frosting
When you are applying layers of TCA a phenomenon can happen called blanching – or more commonly - frosting.
This happens when the acid coagulates the proteins in your skin. Many times you can see this process happening if you notice a white haze or white speckling on the skin.
This is nothing to worry about at all. It is perfectly acceptable for the acid to cause your skin to behave in this nature.
You can use frosting as a gauge to stop applying the TCA. A light haze on layer 2 or 3 is fine, but if you are seeing a solid or mostly white – it’s time to stop applying the acid.
Likewise – if you do NOT see any frosting, this is perfectly acceptable as well. We are all different and our skin is in different states, so we may observe different things such as frosting, no frosting, redness, or nothing at all.
