TCA 2nd Peel Safe After Hypopigmentation?
I did a home TCA peel (12%) a year ago to improve hyperpigmentation and stupidly pulled a couple of scabs off early which left small white hypopigmentation marks. These small marks have improved slightly over the past year. I am thinking of having another TCA peel this time with a trained nurse. Will the TCA make the white marks worse, better or not change them? Thanks for any advice. JC
