Richard Baxter, MD answers: How to remove hyperpigmentation after TCA?

Hello. 3 months ago I had TCA chemical peel (18%). After 10 days, my skin became dark. It's fading but very slowly. Can you help me remove it? Thank you.

I would need more information to give you a definitive answer about hyperpigmentation after a TCA chemical peel. Typically, we monitor the healing process very closely as there are some products that help but they work better when started early. These usually contain ingredients like hydroquinone and tretinoin. Three months out is a little bit trickier. You should be seen by your practitioner for specific advice.
