Will TCA Peel Help These Lines?

Tags: forehead, wrinkles, candidate, glabellar lines

Hi, I have these horisontinal lines in my forehead, that I would love to even out. The lines are a bit deeper than showen on the picture. I have been using 12,5 TCA peel - 4 to 5 layver - 2 times. My skin has peeled quite deep, but the result is absolutely minimal. I am now considering trying a 21% TCA peel. Can you tell me if you think that a TCA peel can do anything for lines like these?

Based upon the posted photo, TCA might improve slightly but not significant enough for the costs. Be careful out there.

Chemical Peels

A combination of medical grade skincare and chemical peels can address your areas of concern. Unfortunately, chemical peels are not a "one peel fits all" and will need to be customized for your needs. In my office, all of the peels are customized to help my patients achieve the results they desire.

TCA peels will not help these line very much if at all.

These lines will improve with Botox or Dysport, filler, laser resurfacing, eMatrix and some nonablative laser treatments.

I absolutely disagree with the opinion of the other doctor who replied. I do not believe tha there is any inherent advantage to the CO2 laser vs, well conceived and well performed chemical peel procedures (although if you are doing these yourself, that may not fit this criteria)... more

Wrinkles

These lines are not due to the action of the muscle underneath. They RESPOND to carbon Dioxide laser resurfacing. You have the choice od ABELATIVE CO2 LASER, recovery is about 2 weeks, or FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER DONE MORE THAN ONCE AND RECOVERY IS ONE WEEK. You may need to do the entire face or the entire forehead to avoid major contrast.. Co2 laser resurfacing wil improve clor, texture and quality of the skin. It requires expertise with the laser resurfacing... more
