Treatment Options For Raised Scar After TCA Peel Under Eye?

That area of the peel may have resulted in deeper thickness injury to the skin. For treatment, it really depends on how long the scar has been maturing. If you are less then 6 months out from this, I would expect the scar to improve simply with time. Scars can frequently remodel and improve even over a period of years.

Hi CC. It's difficult without a photo, but with most raised scars we use kenalog, a steroid, to debulk and flatten the scars. A dab of TCA peel would not be our recommendation for a freckle, rather laser treatments are much easier and more effective. We can also fix any residual hyperpigmentation associated with the peel. We have an office in orange, CA if you would like to come in for a free consultation. See before and after photos below for some scar patients. more

I would begin with topical Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM for the hyperpigmentation. The hypertrophic scar should first be treated with vascular laser to reduce the thickness of the scar tissue.
