What is a pHformula TCA Touch Peel?

TCA is a powerful acid used in the more aggressive chemical peels for skin improvement and rejuvenation. It promotes rapid skin improvement and also dermal collagen remodelling. The acid damages the surface of the skin, which then causes healing and repair. Although it works wonderfully, it also comes with a  much higher risk of side effects in comparison to milder peels.

pHformula uses a unique delivery complex PH-DVC™, which transports the TCA molecules into the deeper skin layers allowing the active ingredients to work deeper within the skin rather than damaging the surface. This complex significantly reduces skin injury. Therefore the skin is more tolerant, and there is rarely any downtime, unlike many other TCA peels.

pHformula TCA Touch contains:

• 30%  TCA
• Arbutin for its skin-lightening properties
• Magnesium Sulfate for its anti-inflammatory effect
• PH-DVC the delivery complex

This combination results in intense stimulation and cell renewal with excellent skin tolerance and effectiveness.

The PH-DVC complex allows for maximum efficacy without the negative side effects normally seen with conventional peelings, allowing controlled protons release. No severe superficial trauma, complications or side effects and excellent skin tolerance!

Aftercare

It is important that you:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks after treatment.
• Use a high SPF

Our doctor will recommend prescription home care to prepare your skin for treatment and to use after the treatment. It is important that you use only these products for the next 2-3 weeks to achieve the best results and to help the healing process after the skin resurfacing treatment. Using other products can increase the risk of unwanted reactions.

The prescription strength products are all formulated with the unique PH-DVC™ complex to help you achieve the best possible results.

24 hours post-treatment, tightness and dryness may be seen; the use of the homecare alleviates this.

48-60 hours later, you may see flaking or mild shedding

What does the TCA Touch Treatment involve?

The treatment takes only 30 minutes.

It involves cleansing the skin and applying a primer to remove any surface oil and maximise penetration of the peel complex.
