TCA Chemical Peel

VS Lasera performs chemical peels with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), a medical-grade peeling agent applied by a dermatology practice rather than a cosmetic salon. TCA removes damaged superficial skin layers in a controlled way, stimulating renewal that improves acne, very shallow acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture and tone. At the clinic, TCA peels are a core part of the acne treatment protocol — acute inflammatory acne is calmed with a combination of chemical peeling and 585 nm laser phototherapy, while shallow post-acne marks are smoothed by repeating the peel across a course of applications. Sessions cost 1,150 Kč each across a course of up to eight applications, with a smaller perioral-area option at 650 Kč.

Trichloroacetic acid is one of the longest-established medium-depth peeling agents in dermatology. Applied at clinical concentrations, it coagulates proteins in the damaged upper skin layers, which then peel away over several days and are replaced by fresher, more evenly pigmented skin with improved texture. **How VS Lasera uses TCA:** The clinic's price list structures TCA peels as a course — the 1,150 Kč per-application price covers applications one through eight, reflecting that progressive courses of milder repeated peels produce steadier, safer improvement than a single aggressive peel. A focused perioral treatment (around the mouth, where fine vertical lines concentrate) is available at 650 Kč. **Acne protocol:** For active acne, VS Lasera combines chemical peeling with LEDA screen 585 nm laser sessions, whose light reaches deeper sebaceous glands and has a bactericidal effect on acne bacteria — the peel addresses the surface component while the laser treats the inflammatory driver. Very shallow post-acne scarring is also managed with this peel-plus-laser combination; deeper scars graduate to the fractional CO2 laser. **What to expect:** Application takes a few minutes per zone with a temporary stinging or heat sensation. Over the following days the treated skin darkens slightly and exfoliates. Strict sun protection is essential during and after a peel course, as the fresh skin is photo-sensitive; courses are best scheduled in lower-UV months. **Who benefits:** Active mild-to-moderate acne (in combination with phototherapy), shallow acne marks, uneven tone and texture, fine superficial lines, and perioral fine lines. The 400 Kč dermatology consultation determines the appropriate course length and combination plan.
