TCA solution, Skin Actives Restoration Cream.

Please read usage instructions prior to use.

Instructional video coming soon. See below for pictures.

Refrigerate upon receipt. If spilled into eyes, or other exposed surface rinse immediately with a lot of water.

In your kit, you should find a small vial with a brown cap, solution applicators, and a jar of our Restoration Cream. The small vial contains the active solution. The main ingredient in the active solution is trichloroacetic acid, a relatively strong acid derived from acetic acid. Be careful not to touch the liquid – and only apply it with the applicator provided.

To apply, immerse the applicator tip in the active solution. Squeeze the wet tip against inside rim, to avoid drips.

Apply solution to skin with applicator by gently dabbing the wet applicator tip against the skin.

There will be mild heat or irritation, this shows the product is working. At the first visible signs of “frosting,” which is whitening on the skin, apply Restoration cream, which will immediately stop the irritation.
The TCA self neutralizes by combining with skin proteins and denaturing them, inducing “peeling” and improving penetration of the Restoration cream.

Your skin will tend to flake after 3 – 5 days. Do not “pull” at peeling skin, as you may cause scarring and increase hyperpigmentation, instead of reducing it. Not all patients shed skin in the same way, all patients are different.  When you do start to peel, do not rub the skin harshly or use exfoliant products. These can cause redness and irritation and possible infection.

Make sure to apply Restoration cream to the affected area each day, several times a day, during the healing process.
Additionally, it is important to remember that while undergoing this treatment, the skin has little or no protection to UV light (both UVA and UVB). Therefore, it is important not to expose the skin to direct sunlight for at least two weeks following the spot treatment. You should always wear a sunscreen (minimum SPF30), even in winter, layered on top of the Restoration cream.
Repetition, if necessary, is acceptable after one month. Please remember to dispose of used applicators carefully.

Enjoy your beautiful new skin!

Keep out of the reach of children. Read instruction prior to use. If spilled on to skin or eyes rinse immdeiately with water. Keep treated skin away from sun or other irritants.
