12.5% TCA Peel @ Home Peel on Face-Georgia

Well its been a little over 3 weeks since my TCA peel. I think it has helped with texture and tone. Still glad I did it. Cant wait to do another one. Will leave on a little longer this time and let frost a bit more. Plan on doing my hands, forearms, neck and chest too. Did a spot area on the back of my hand and I took it about a week to peel. That was weird. I didnt think it was going too but it finally did. Go figure.

Well its been 10 days since my peel and I have to say that it was "Worth It". No big major improvments but minor improvments with skin texture. It evened out my skin tone and I'm not as red and blotchy as I was before. Didnt do much for lines and wrinkles but wasnt really expecting it too. It was a mild peel and it was my first TCA. Had 2 Glycolic peels previously. Down time was only a few days so it wasnt that inconvienant. Will do another one Thanksgiving weekend since I have 4 days off. Posted an updated pic but sorry again for the quality. You really cant tell much from it.

Well today (Tuesday) most of the peeling is done. I think I helped it along a little when in the shower the hot water and steam kinda makes the loose skin roll of if you lightly run your fingers over it. Don't know if you should do that or not but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems. Face is not as red but a little blotchy looking. The last skin to peel is under and around my eyes. Still looks leathery and is not wanting to come off and I'm not forcing it so we will see. Putting some Emu oil on now too and seems to be speeding up the peeling. I used it last nite before I went to bed. Still cant say if it is worth it yet. I am going to wait a few days, let the peeling finish and my skin calm down and I will make that judgment then. Oh i never did say why i did the peel to begin with. I am 44 and my skin has sun damage from my younger years when you don't think about your skin because your young and its beautiful and your laying the beach getting fried. I have some fine lines and wrinkles and some minor brown spots and redness. Looking for a more even skin tone mainly. Don't expect much from a 12.5% peel for the wrinkles but it would be nice if there was some improvment there. We will see in a few days after im done peeling.
