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,

TCA Treatment for Keratosis Pilaris? I have bad keratosis pilaris on my upper arms. It's not bumpy--just a lot of very red spots under the top layer of my skin. I used 30% TCA a few days ago, at the moment it's doing nothing. Is it possible that my skin will still start peeling, and is it safe to use it again or should I wait? Is TCA a good solution for keratosis pilaris? If not, do you know what is? Thanks.

A: Keratosis pilaris or KP treatment with KP Pads available for daily application on the arms and thighs

Keratosis pilaris or KP is a chronic condition and can be improved by TCA peels. I would recommend a daily regimen of exfoliation with a combination of KP Pads (brand name) and ammonium lactate. This will help unclog the keratin plugs.

50% of Los Angeles reviewers said TCA Peel was worth it

	“Is It Worth It? NO! NO!! NO!!! -...” Had really great skin before the peel which I got compliments on all the time. Decided to treat myself to a peel because I'm turning 40 soon and had a baby last year. Well, had a HORRIBLE reaction to this peel. 7 days after developed dermatitus and had an itchy rash all over my face. I wanted to rip my face off it was so bad. I've since spent hundreds of dollars at dermatologist to... more

	“Not "Extremely Painful" As Some...” If used as directed, this stuff only produces a MILD stinging. As long as you leave it on less than 3 minutes it should feel like a bee sting and then go numb. I was removing deep scars on my arms so I needed to use 50% TCA and leave it on over 10 minutes. Though I left it on way above the maximum time advised time, it was not making me "jump out of the chair" as one person put it... more
	“Good Results from TCA 20%” I did this peel at home. I did it only on my chest (decolletage) area, to test it first. It is peeling like it should, with no insane pain or regrets. Listen to your body, it shouldn't kill with pain. Just uncomfortable for 5 min. My opinion is: you know your skin better than ANYONE, so it's best to start with a mild percentage TCA (8% or 12.5%) to see how tolerant your skin really is. Seems... more
