TCA Cross | Cutis Dermatology

Описание: TCA (trichloroacetic acid) cross is a type of chemical peel that is used to treat severe acne scarring and deep wrinkles. TCA is a medium-depth peel that penetrates deeper into the skin than a superficial peel, but not as deep as a deep peel.

During the TCA cross treatment, a small amount of TCA is applied to the affected area using a small brush or a small roll. The TCA solution causes the top layers of the skin to blister and peel off, revealing new, smoother skin underneath.

The TCA cross treatment typically takes about 30 minutes to complete and is performed in a dermatologist's office. Recovery time for a TCA cross can vary depending on the depth of the peel and the person's skin type, but it usually takes about a week.

It's important to note that TCA cross treatment is a medical procedure and should be performed by a trained and licensed professional. It's also important to protect your skin from sun exposure after the treatment as it can cause further pigmentation.

Also, TCA cross may not be suitable for all skin types, particularly for darker skin tones, as it can cause discoloration if not done properly. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine if TCA cross is the right treatment for you and to discuss any potential risks or side effects.
