Dermaceutic TCA Peel (12% & 15%)

What is Dermaceutic TCA Peel ?

The Dermaceutic TCA Peel uses Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), a clinically proven exfoliating agent that has been used in professional skin care for decades. TCA works by penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, beyond the reach of superficial peels, to stimulate robust cellular renewal, address deeply embedded pigmentation, and significantly remodel the skin’s surface. At 12%, the peel delivers a strong medium-depth resurfacing result with meaningful downtime and impressive outcomes. At 15%, the peel penetrates more deeply still, producing more intensive correction and more significant renewal, ideal for clients with advanced skin concerns or those who have already completed a program of milder peels and require a more powerful intervention. Both strengths are applied and monitored by your trained OC Skin therapist, who will determine the most appropriate option based on a thorough assessment of your skin.

Benefits of Dermaceutic TCA Peel

What to expect

Prior to your TCA Peel appointment, your OC Skin therapist will conduct a thorough consultation and skin assessment to determine the appropriate treatment strength and ensure your skin is well prepared. Your treatment begins with a meticulous double cleanse and skin preparation protocol. The TCA solution is then carefully and methodically applied by your therapist, and you may experience a noticeable stinging or burning sensation as the acid activates, this is a normal and expected part of the process, and your therapist will support you and monitor your response closely throughout.

Following the application, the skin is carefully neutralised and soothed with targeted post peel products to support the healing process. In the days following treatment, you may experience redness and peeling, as the treated skin sheds and fresh, renewed skin emerges beneath. It is essential to follow your therapist’s aftercare guidance precisely to protect the skin and ensure the best possible outcome. As the skin heals, the improvements become increasingly apparent, clearer, more even, noticeably smoother skin with a luminosity that reflects the depth of renewal achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there downtime?

Yes, downtime is an expected and integral part of the TCA Peel process. Redness and peeling are common, we recommend scheduling this treatment when you are able to allow your skin adequate time to recover. Your therapist will discuss what to expect in detail during your consultation.

How often can I have this treatment?

The TCA Peel is typically performed as part of a structured treatment program, with sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow the skin sufficient time to fully heal, renew, and stabilise before the next treatment. Your OC Skin therapist will design an appropriate program schedule based on your skin goals.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

As a more intensive treatment with associated downtime, the TCA Peel is generally the cornerstone of a dedicated corrective program rather than a treatment that is combined with others in the same session. Your therapist will develop a comprehensive plan that integrates your TCA Peel with appropriate supporting treatments and home care.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The TCA Peel is a powerful treatment that requires careful assessment before proceeding. A thorough consultation is mandatory, and this treatment may not be appropriate for all skin types or sensitivities. Your therapist will evaluate your skin carefully to determine your suitability and ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
