PCA Ultra Peel (TCA)
The PCA Skin Ultra Peel is our strongest medium depth peel with a whopping 10% Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) and 24% Lactic Acid blend.
Specially formulated to treat maturing skin, Ultra Peel® is also appropriate for many other skin types, conditions, and sensitivities. It helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting an even skin tone and clear complexion.
As this is a medium depth peel, we often expect some visible Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) post treatment which peels off after a few days so it is importnat to factor this in when booking the treatment and follow all before and after care information.
KEY BENEFITS
✓ Reduces dark spots and other forms of discolouration
✓ Promotes an even skin tone and clear complexion
✓ Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Active Ingredients
+ Lactic Acid (24%) – an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) naturally found in milk and sugars. It breaks down the bonds between cells (desmosomes) to allow for easier exfoliation of dead surface cells, hydrates the skin, and inhibits melanogenesis by suppressing the formation of tyrosinase.
+ Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) (10%) – a superficial and medium-depth peeling agent that helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring.
Key Ingredients
+ Alpha-Lipoic Acid (Thioctic Acid) – a natural compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that interferes with the internal pathways of hyperpigmentation.
+ Emblica – a botanical also known as Indian gooseberry or the Malacca tree. It contains a high concentration of tannins, which have been shown to reduce discoloration and the visible signs of aging.
+ Silymarin – a powerful antioxidant that provides anti-inflammatory benefits and has a protective effect against UVA-induced oxidative stress. It suppresses UVB-induced skin edema and the formation of sunburn cells.
