all about tca peels in amsterdam
Looking for an intensive, medical-grade peel that visibly renews your skin? A TCA peel (trichloroacetic acid) is one of the most effective treatments for deeper skin improvement. It removes the top layers of skin in a controlled way and encourages your skin to produce fresh collagen and new skin cells.
A TCA peel is a clever way to tackle pigmentation, sun damage, wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scars, melasma and signs of ageing. The result? Often impressive before-and-after results, sometimes after just one session.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is a tca peel?
A TCA peel is a medical chemical peel in which trichloroacetic acid is applied to the skin. The acid creates a controlled “frosting” of the skin, after which the top layers flake away to make room for new, smoother skin.
what makes a tca peel unique:
- powerful skin renewal
- reduces pigmentation and sun damage
- stimulates collagen
- improves skin texture and pores
- targets wrinkles and fine lines
- effective for scars
The peel is fully tailored to your skin condition, from mild to medium depth.
who is a tca peel suitable for?
A TCA peel is ideal for anyone who wants to visibly renew their skin. It’s especially effective for:
- pigmentation and age spots
- sun-damaged skin
- wrinkles and fine lines
- melasma
- acne scars
- enlarged pores
- uneven skin texture
- dull, ageing skin
The treatment can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
tca peel for pigmentation, wrinkles and scars
A TCA peel is particularly powerful for:
pigmentation
The peel calms overactive pigment cells and removes superficial build-ups of pigment.
wrinkles and skin ageing
By stimulating collagen, the skin becomes thicker, firmer and visibly smoother.
acne scars and pores
Skin texture becomes more refined, small pits look less deep and pores appear smaller.
what can you expect?
After a TCA peel, your skin goes through a clear recovery process:
day 1–2
Redness and mild swelling. Your skin feels tight.
day 3–4
Your skin starts to darken and flake.
day 4–7
Visible peeling. This is all part of the process and leaves you with a smooth, renewed skin surface.
week 2–4
Your new skin comes through:
- more even
- fresher
- less pigmentation
- finer pores
- smoother lines
Collagen production continues for months, so your skin keeps improving over time.
tca peel recovery
Recovery depends on the depth of the peel, but on average the visible downtime is 5–7 days. During this time:
- never pull at peeling skin
- avoid the sun, saunas and intensive exercise
- don’t use acids, retinol or scrubs
- protect your skin every day with SPF 50
Good aftercare is essential for a safe and beautiful result.
tca peel risks
When performed professionally, a TCA peel is a safe treatment. Possible risks include:
- temporary redness or sensitivity
- hyperpigmentation if aftercare isn’t followed
- mild swelling
- rarely: superficial wounds or dark flakes
At UMA Clinic, TCA peels are only performed by experienced skin therapists with medical expertise, so you’re in safe hands.
before and after results
A TCA peel is known for impressive changes:
- visibly reduced pigmentation
- firmer, fresher-looking skin
- refined pores
- a smoother skin surface
- softer wrinkles
- a more even complexion
- less visible scars
Results are usually visible after one treatment, but deeper pigmentation may need several sessions. Results vary from person to person.
is a tca peel painful?
You may feel warmth, tingling or a burning sensation during the treatment. This is completely normal and only lasts a short while. How intense it feels depends on the concentration of TCA.
can I wear make-up after a tca peel?
You can wear make-up again once your skin has fully recovered and stopped flaking, usually after 5–7 days.
how many tca peels do I need?
Most clients see results after one treatment. For deeper pigmentation or scars, we usually recommend:
- 2–3 peels
- 4–6 weeks apart
