A course of 4 TCA Chemical Peel treatments are recommended at 2-4 week intervals for optimum results.

TCA Chemical Peel does not require a pre-treatment product program, however it can beneficial and we recommend exfoliating the skin using a Glycolic or Salicylic cleanser 2-4 weeks prior to your treatment to achieve better penetration of active ingredients and optimise treatment results.

Aftercare products are compulsory post treatment to avoid any adverse reactions. This will include a cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen to be used daily after your peel and throughout your skincare program. Aftercare products are extra. This will be discussed in detail at your consultation.

Clients will experience moderate peeling from day 3 to day 7. It may be advisable to take some time off during the recovery period. Mineral makeup can be worn.

You may experience a warm/tingling sensation when the peel solution is initially applied which will subside within a few minutes.

As this is a medium depth medical skin peel it must be performed by a medical practitioner such as a nurse or doctor.

Available at The Laser and Skin Clinic, clients can avail of Chemical Peel Dublin, Mullingar at Athlone clinics.

As with any procedure, not everyone is a candidate for the TCA peel. At your consultation you will be assessed to your suitability to have a TCA skin peel.

All products have a potential for allergic reactions. It is important that you inform the nurse of any allergies they may have. Transient reactions may include redness to the skin, itchiness, dryness and in some cases swelling. It is common for most patients to experience transient hyperpigmentation. This will settle during the course of treatments and with use of the appropriate treatment creams and sun protection (SPF30+). Although very rare, there may be in some cases risk of superficial blistering, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation.
