Scars from a TCA Peel, Are They Permanent?

I had my first TCA peel two weeks ago.The doctor used 30% TCA for a minute or even less.I see skin texture improvements but I've noticed that now I have some new scars.They looks like little pits.I have 2 or 3 on the cheek which looks like little holes and one bigger scar under the eye.All of them are lower level than the other skin.I am not sure if this is possible because it's just two weeks after the peel,so I am not sure if that time is enough for scars to appear or it's just my imagination?

A: TCA peel

Unfortunately they can be permanent, but some people will respond to reversal method as a treatment.

For An African American Woman With Stretch Marks, Will TCA Peels Work?

TCA Peels for Stretchmarks and Other Markings...African American Girl.

A: Unfortunately, Nothing works well for stretch marks yet!

Stretch marks are a common problem but we don't have anything that does significant to improve them at this time.  Many, many laser treatments may make a 20% improvement in them after 1-2 yrs and many thousands of dollars later but TCA peels probably are not a good choice.  Sincerely,

Tca Peel and Anesthesia

What is the strongest % TCA peel that can be used on the face without the use of anesthesia or pain pills.

A: There is no need for anesthesia or pain meds with any TCA Peels.

I've done thousands of TCA peels and have never needed anesthesia nor pain meds for TCA peels at all.  What you will need is prednisone pills to take down the redness and swelling and you will need a good cortisone lotion, sunscreen, gentle cleanser and good followups with your doc and well as retin A or bleaching cream afterwards.  Sincerely,
