TCA PEEL POST CARE: Skin Care After Your Visit to DermaVida Wellness
Expect flaking to thin sheets of the superficial skin to begin to peel in the first 2-4 days. Some areas will peel more than others. The over all peeling process can last 7-10 days.
The underlying skin may turn slightly darker or redder than the surface skin. This is normal.
Cleanse the area with mild cleanser and warm water during the healing process. DO NOT scrub, use fingertips to cleanse. Remember the treated area will be very sensitive for up to 2 weeks.
Please use products as follows:
1st Cleanse (Skin Medica Sensitive Skin Cleanser)
2nd Growth Factor ( Skin Medica TNS Recovery or Skin Medica TNS Essential Serum)
3rd Bleaching Cream (Hydroquinone 4%)
4rd Hydrate (Skin Medica Hydrating Complex)
5th Moisturize (Skin Medica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream)
6th Protect (Sunscreen)
Keep the treated area very hydrated and moisturized during the healing process, this will also help reduce the urge to pick.
Avoid using abrasive exfoliating products.
Discontinue use of any Retin A, Glycolic, Salicylic, or Lactic products until all peeling and redness are resolved; typically 14 days after your peel.Direct sunlight/tanning beds should be avoided before/during/after treatment. To avoid the possibility of scarring, DO NOT peel, pick or scratch the shedding skin.
Make-up application can be resumed one week after the peel, provided there is no crusting or tenderness. (Use clean make-up applicators when applying make-up)
Sunscreen (SPF30 or higher) must be applied to treated area at all times; regardless of the weather conditions.
You may resume your normal skin care regimen when all peeling and redness from your treatment are gone.
Touch-ups or a second peel may be needed after the peel. Wait at least 4-6 weeks before treating with another TCA peel.
If there is persistent redness in the treated area after the first week, please contact us right away.

Two weeks before Ultra Treatment
Two weeks before Ultra Treatment:
Discontinue
For patients with melasma or darker skin types, prep skin with Hydroquinone (A.M. /P.M.) for 2 weeks prior to treatment up until the day of Ultra Treatment.
Drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your treatment will increase recovery period.
Post Treatment:
Immediately after treatment, the area will feel similar to a sunburn and have a mild-moderate swelling and redness. Cold compresses can be used to soothe redness and swelling after treatment.
Although the heat may subside or completely resolve within a few hours, continuous icing the day of your treatment will reduce the amount of swelling. A bag of frozen peas is ideal!
Mild, moderate or severe swelling will occur within hours after the treatment. Most of the swelling will be visible within the first 24 hours after treatment, particularly around the eyes. Swelling will vary from person to person and also with treatment intensity and protocol. To minimize swelling:
Apply cold compresses/ice pack (frozen peas) to the treated area for 10 minutes every hour on the day of the treatment.
Sleep elevated the first night after your treatment.
