A TCA Medical Peel Given by my MD., Has Given Me a Hollowed out Sagging Skin Appearance, So What Do I Do?

A: TCA Peel will not cause hollowness or sagging A TCA peel will not cause hollowness or sagging. It is a topical treatment that effects the upper layers of the skin only. If you have some tightness or swelling from the treatment it should be very short term. Best regards!

I Scarred Myself Doing an at Home TCA Peel, What Can I Do?

I did at home 8% TCA peel that I had had good results with the 2 other times I used it. I never got any flakiness, only some redness and good healing. The last one, late June, I got flaking under my nose. I went out in the sun used 50 facial sunscreen. I didn't think about it and washed the flakiness off in the shower. Now I have an atrophic scar 2 inches long under my nose that is affecting the way I smile. It looks horrible! You can see scar only when I smile.

A: TCA Peel

This is likely the result of uneven peeling which is why TCA peels should be done by a professional.  Depending on what it looks like and what restrictions you have from this, you may need to see a facial plastic surgeon to surgically revise the area.

Can You Go Too Deep with a Peel?

I recently applied a 25% TCA peel, and feel like I went too deep for some parts of my face on near my cheeks. I am halfway through my peel with my forehead to go, but I have very red parts of my face I feel went too deep. I have put ointment on these parts which makes it feel better. Will this go away after a few days, or did I make a mistake?

A: TCA Peel

That is too high a concentration for you to be doing yourself at home.  Please seek a professional to do your  TCA peels before you have irreversible results.
