What should you know about Rejsol TCA peel?

Trichloroacetic acid is applied to selected skin to produce a controlled chemical reaction. The treated surface may become tight, red, darker, flaky, or peel as it recovers. A superficial treatment and a deeper treatment have different recovery needs, so the product name alone does not tell you what to expect.

Clinicians may consider peels for concerns such as acne, comedonal acne, uneven tone, sun spots, or sun-damaged skin. Existing melasma or a tendency toward post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can change the plan because inflammation may deepen discoloration. A consultation should include your skin history, current products, and previous reactions.

Use the exact preparation and aftercare provided by the treating clinician. Do not pick peeling skin, wax the area, or add retinoids, scrubs, or acids unless cleared. Use gentle cleansing, moisturise as directed, and protect treated skin from sunlight. A clinician may adjust the strength, area, or timing if your barrier is irritated or you have an active rash.

Ask whether glycolic acid or another approach is more suitable for your concern, and whether a test area is appropriate. A peel should be performed by someone trained to recognise skin types, contraindications, and chemical injury.

Contact the clinic promptly for severe or increasing pain, blistering, marked swelling, pus, spreading redness, or changes in vision after treatment near the eyes. Seek urgent medical care for breathing difficulty or swelling of the lips or face. Do not remove attached skin or apply household remedies while waiting for advice.

Ask which peel depth is planned, what recovery looks like, how pigmentation risk will be managed, which medicines or skincare products to pause, and which warning signs require same-day contact.
