TCA Peel - Why do I Have Facial Redness?

I have been performing at-home glycolic peels for 6 months now. Then used an at-home 12.5% TCA Peel, and a month later did a second peel, with 2 layers. My face peeled for almost a week. This was 5 weeks ago, and my face still has redness.

It isn't severe but I find myself using lots of concealer. Post-peel, I used SPF30 and moisturizer, I did not use anti-bacterial ointment as recommended since it would make my skin so oily under makeup. Why do I have redness? Can I resume TCA peels?

A: TCA peels for discolorations and fine wrinkles

TCA peels should only be performed by a physician in an office setting and not at home. Typically we use TCA in concentrations ranging from 20-35%. In those concentrations redness afterwards is not uncommon. It works excellent for discolorations on the face.

Do Chemical Peels Reduce Severe Acne and Scars From Acne?

Hello, I had severe acne. My Doc said tht chemical peeling will not only reduces acne but also acne scars and holes. I had undergone 3 chemical peels and my acne is reduced. But acne scars are clearly visible. My doc said that after 3 more peels all your scars, holes, marks, everything will be 70 percent reduced. Will it really work? I'm getting married and I want to be normal at my wedding. I cannot go for laser as they are expensive. My doctor used TCA peels...

A: Chemical peels and Acne and acne scars

Typically chemical peels with TCA work excellent for hyperpigmentation on the face. I do not use TCA peels to treat or remove Acne or Acne scars.

A: TCA peels by a physician only

TCA peels should only be performed by a physician. The typical concentrations range from 20% to 35%. The results are consistent and excellent and work well to reduce the signs of photoaging and discolorations.
