My experience of having a TCA peel was refreshingly easy. For a few days I did look hideous, but I still went out most days. For two days early on I had itching which I applied cream to and it went away. The skin felt tender at times and very tight. I wasn't unsettled, irritated or in pain at any time. When showering each morning I used a non-soap liquid cleanser on my face, it felt so good and got rid of any irritation. With the end result I see a much healthier colour, no old pallor. The tired and craggy skin has gone. The age or liver spots have disappeared completely. Wrinkles are much less evident and the crisscross lighter wrinkles have totally gone, like the skin has been resurfaced.

I will continue to have the peels to create more collagen. $49.00 for this result...I am very impressed. I had a friend who had a machine resurfacing that cost $450 and the result did not look as good as mine. She had several painful treatments, I just did one peel.

When applying the peel it burned for a few minutes, but once I washed it off, then put a cold compress on my face it was fine. It really only lasted a couple of minutes. I quickly forgot it as it went away when I washed the solution off. I am very happy I did this, and ecstatic about the amazing results. It was easy and so cheap. I felt supported by the professionalism of the Nova clinic. The written instructions were comprehensive and easy to follow. I felt safe doing this at home.

Home TCA Peels – The simple facts

The TCA Peel (Trichloroacetic Acid), a medium-deep peel, is one of the gold standards for treatment of various skin conditions. Trichloroacetic Acid treatments can be used in varying concentrations from as low as 15% to as high as 100%. The higher the concentration, the deeper the skin peel. When used in a controlled fashion, TCA peels produce improvement in collagen and elastin in the skin and reduction of fine lines, acne scars, dark spots, and a variety of other conditions. It will lighten or diminish tattoos (depending on depth of tattoo). A medium-deep TCA peel will produce a deeper penetration, causing the skin to peel. Whereas lighter peels (Glycolic, Lactic acid etc.) cause a light flaking. The draw back to a deeper TCA peel is that it causes the skin to appear to have severe sunburn for about one week. A person having a deep TCA chemical peel may need a few days off work (purely because of the look of the skin, not because you will feel sick).

The Nova Clinic TCA Peel Kits are available in different strengths: 15%, 25%, 50%, 80% and 100%. The instructions you will receive explain how to do a patch test to check your skin's reaction to the solution.

We manufacture our own product so can guarantee that the TCA is 100% pure pharmaceutical or medical grade. The peel comes in a sealed poison bottle with very detailed instructions, alcohol swabs to degrease the skin before the peel, gloves and applicators. Everything you need for the complete TCA peel - at home.

Once the TCA skin peel treatment is complete you can expect to shed the dead, outer layer of skin for approximately three days. Following this, you can expect your skin to be completely healed within ten to fourteen days. At that time you will notice improvement in the appearance of your skin, which will have less wrinkles, blemishes and pigmentation problems. You will also notice a healthy glow as your face appears radiant and shining. This is for a medium to deep peel.

Over a period of six weeks you will see the full positive result of your peel.

Great for sun damaged, dry or flaky skin and dark spots. Hyper-pigmentation (darkened skin) and age spots lighten or disappear using the medium-deep peeling action of TCA, which sheds off those damaged surface skin cells, revealing new, smoother skin beneath. It greatly improves acne and blackheads by shedding away the outer layer of skin that blocks the infection in the pores, allowing the infection to clear out and the pores to heal! Scars, above lip creases, stretch marks and tattoos lighten or fade away (depending on the number of treatments and the depth of scars/tattoos).

One of my clients summed it up like this...she said, “It's a wonderful thing. I could not afford cosmetic surgery and I so wanted to look younger. This peel (I have had 2 now at 80% strength over 6 months) has given me a new lease on life. I feel and look younger, not so drawn and tired. People have commented how radiant my face looks. I saw lines, wrinkles, little blemishes, crows feet, gray old colour and a sorry, sort of faded look to my face just disappear. Thank you, I am very happy and very grateful...not only for the result, but also that I can actually afford to have this from a professional clinic, and I also felt secure in that you make your own product. Well, I am just thrilled.”
