TCA, glycolic or Jessner peeling: which to choose in Paris 16

TCA, Glycolic, or Jessner Peeling: Understanding the Differences

The peeling is an aesthetic medicine technique that improves the quality of the skin by stimulating its cell renewal. To the Grand Paris Clinic, we offer different types of peels adapted to each need: TCA, glycolic and Jessner. But which one should you choose according to your skin and your goals?

What is a peel?

A peel consists of applying an exfoliating solution to the skin to cause controlled regeneration. This procedure improves radiance, tightens pores, and reduces wrinkles, spots, or acne scars.

Glycolic peeling: softness and radiance

Coming from the fruit acid (AHA) family, glycolic peeling is light and suitable for most skin types. It acts on the surface to:

• Restoring radiance to the complexion
• Refining skin texture
• Blend superficial blemishes

Ideal as a treatment, it is often recommended for the first signs of aging or for dull skin.

TCA peeling: in-depth effectiveness

Peeling with TCA (trichloroacetic acid) acts more deeply. It is indicated for:

• Alleviate fine lines and wrinkles
• Correct pigment spots
• Improving acne scars

It requires a slightly longer recovery time, but the results are more visible and long-lasting.

The Jessner peel: balance and versatility

The peeling of Jessner combines several acids (lactic acid, salicylic acid, resorcin). More comprehensive, it deals with both:

• Excess sebum and blemishes
• Pigment irregularities
• The first signs of aging

It is particularly suitable for mixed to oily skin and acne problems.

Which peel should you choose for your skin?

The choice depends on several criteria: skin type, phototype, problem (acne, wrinkles, spots, sagging) and aesthetic goals. During a personalized diagnosis, our doctors determine the safest and most effective protocol for your profile.

Precautions and safety

Peels must be performed within a strict medical framework. To the Grand Paris Clinic, we follow up before, during and after the session, with specific recommendations:

• Preparing the skin with appropriate care
• Avoid direct sun exposure after treatment
• Apply daily sun protection
