TCA peel 30

Properties 30% Options*  Prep B Solution and Gauze Pads  The 30% TCA peel is an extremely deep peel. We do not recommend the direct application of this undiluted solution to your face. This peel in intended to be diluted with the easy to follow instructions included with the package. The 30% strength will end up saving beginning users, as well as long time users money, since the percentages can be graduated as you move along with your regimen. There are instances where you can apply this undiluted to a scar (TCA CROSS), or on the body. We recommend using extreme caution when doing this. TCA is generally considered safe for darker skinned individuals. TCA will improve color, freshness, texture, skin tone, and fine wrinkles. It will also improve superficial discoloration, such as age spots. It may improve blotches and can sometimes improve dark circles under your eyes. TCA is a natural 2nd step when other acids stop producing benefits. *You must prepare your skin for any acid peel (especially a medium depth acid such as TCA). Please follow the picture link below to learn all about peels and peeling. If you are prone to fever blisters, the acid can cause a breakout. Prescription medications must be used before a TCA peel is applied or the breakouts could cause scarring. TCA may produce some unintended color changes in the skin. This may be prevented by using a bleaching cream 2-3 weeks prior to treatment and usually occurs with darker skin, but can occur in light skin. We highly recommend the Fading Gel for this purpose. After you have prepared your skin for 2 weeks (using Fading Gel if you have pigmented skin or are prone to freckling), we suggest the following application process:

1. Wash face with acidic cleanser.
2. Dry and apply 1-2 layers of Peel Prep Solution B. This will aid in numbing the skin slightly for a more comfortable peel.
3. Air Dry.
4. Apply peel for suggested time frame on direction sheet.
5. Rinse well with cool - cold water.

Understanding Layers

***We do not recommend the TCA 30 being applied straight or in layers (unless you are formulating it to a lower percentage - then those lower % layers can be applied multiple times). TCA gets its strength from being applied in multiple layers. A layer is a single application of the acid during a peel treatment. Multiple layers will be applied to progress the peel deeper into the skin – without washing off any previous layers. The first layer is applied (approximately a 3-5 minute time frame) - the proteins in the skin coagulate, then the peel self-neutralizes. Then the second layer is applied directly on top of the first. It will go through the first layer and coagulate the layer below (another 3-5 minutes) then self-neutralize. This process generally goes 2-5 layers.** If you have never had a TCA Peel before, we suggest applying only 1 layer the first time you perform the peel. You can then strengthen the peel with additional layers as you move forward in the process. We suggest the 12.5% for beginners and those with sensitive skin. **For reference - the Obaji Blue Peel is either a 15% or 20% (doctor's preference/patient's skin) TCA
