what to do with my face from a bad TCA chemical peel? seeing streaks, burns, scars!
Answer: Several solutions for scarring from chemical peels Chemical peels vary in depth and penetration of the skin. The most critical element in chemical peels is the preoperative assessment of patients before performing a procedure. I routinely perform deep TCA peels on a weekly, if not daily basis, with an excellent safety profile that is unmatched in the industry. This safety profile relies on a rigid pre and postoperative skin protocol and detailed preoperative assessment.

Answer: Fixing burns/ scars after TCA peel There is not a great way to undo the effects; if the TCA peel was recently, medical grade steroid or silicone creams can help minimize the secondary inflammation and decrease some of the areas of hyperpigmentation. They can also decrease the appearance of scars; consider trying Silagen or stratoderm. If it has been some time, then you can consider a non ablative laser such as Fraxel Dual restore to help improve the overall tone and texture.

Answer: You must get evaluated by a dermatologist Its hard to give you solutions without seeing a picture. If a TCA peel is done right- it is a safe and very effective peel. It shouldn't "burn" the skin. Get a formal evaluation by a dermatologist. In many cases, this may be able to be corrected.

Answer: Chemical peel risks include scarring There are various strengths of TCA and some have no risk of scarring while others can carry a high risk. First of all, you need to discuss this with your treating doctor. Second, there are interventions that can help varying from laser to steroid cream and injections. If the peel is not blended onto the neck then you may see a step off of discoloration. First go to your treating doctor because they may be able to handle this if they have a lot of experience and if not then seek a dermatologist who specializes and is trained in cosmetic peels to get the best results
