“100% tca peel at home”

It's no wonder it was a horrible experience, it's obvious that you used a solution that was to strong. With the right solution, and the right prep, skin test and application, you would have been more than satisfied with the results.

Do you know how long the red should last?

why did you go with 100% tca instead of starting with a lower dose? I used a 12.5% 2 months ago and again yesterday a 2 layer 12.5%, I had, and am having, a great result. I would never do 100% at home. Peels can be done at home if done properly and with cautious and patience. You can't expect to get perfect skin over night with one treatment. It takes time and starting with a low percentage is the only way to go.

omg... you should never use 100% they dont even use that at the doctors office. anything over 30% is used on the body you should do a patch test always. this is why you need to see an esthetician or doctor people who know what they are doing. people just dont realize how strong peels are and they sure dont no what percent to put on there face. just because the ad looks good does not mean it is good for your type of skin and not only that you are getting it from the internet so how sure are you about what your buying. it looks like you need to go see a doctor right away and get some emu oil.

I had a 30% tca peel done and it turned my skin a dark brown on the areas treated. Is this normal and how long will it last?

Hi I make safe products for rapid resurfacing and new skincell turnover. I know who sold this TCA to you, and I want you to know that its because of you and many OTHERS who were injured by this seller and a couple of other sellers,. that led to eBay making the decision to pull ALL TCA products off of their site. I voluntarily removed my items when I saw the same seller listing TCA to remove HPV GENITAL WARTS. The same solution that you used on your face was being sold worldwide for men/women to apply to their genitals,. There were serious cases reported which led to eBays decision to remove ALL products, no matter what their strength. I brought TCA PEELS to eBay in 2001. My TCA complex is 12.5% and yields a perfect peel. For the more stubborn skin I have Perfect TCA Peel which is 1% under frosting. There are several grades of TCA that are sold. Medical grade TCA is purified, washed and contains no fragments or alloys. Cheap TCA is sold in chemical stores which is used for cleaning metal and removing barnicles from boats, rust etc. The sellers who list $10.00 viles of TCA for FACE PEEL, TATOO REMOVAL AND STRETCH MARKS are selling the caustic regeant. Its a hot acid. This is NOT what is used in skincare. There are alloys floating in this acid,. it is very unclean,. IN the end, TCA is NOT used for Tatoo removal or stretch marks. Stretch marks are comprised of injured skin tissue. You cannot just burn and peel away a stretch mark and expose new skin growth. Stretch marks can be treated with sheets of silicone that cause the tissue to sweat causing reconnectivity,.These silicone sheets can be used over and over and should be worn over night, tucked against panties,or taped on with paper tape. Tatoos? If you have a 5 micron deep jail house marker tatoo, then perhaps you can’t burn it off,. A professional Tatoo will NOT vanish by TCA acid. You can burn your skin and possibly blur the image at best. Advice to anyone who used a caustic peel of TCA or TCA mixed with aha/bha (these sellers were also marrying other chemicals into their mix). For woman or men of color (african american skin tone),. who use TCA on face or body,. the result will be severe hyperpigmenting, or what may look like black shoe polish. The process to get the skin to shed should be slow,with the lowest grade percentage possible to create a light slough every 7-10 days. Hydroquinone is not going to lighten this damage. The skin must shed many many times and not be exposed to sunlight or intense humidity for long periods of time. Dark skintones have a built in sunscreen which secretes pigment as a natural inhibitor,. this comes out naturally during warm climate. Keeping the skin cool at all times during treatment. Manual microdermabrasion has been successful, even using micro crystals (email me if you need more suggestions, I make one that is micro and retinoic). For light skin that has endured facial burns from TCA acid,. First 2 weeks it is crucial to keep the area moist with Neosporin ointment. If the face swells or becomes feverish or yellow seek medical attention., Tissue infection is very common which is treated with oral antibiotics and sometimes a steroid. Most important: Do not blame yourself. Talk to your family, friends, get on the chat sites, find people who have gone through this,. If you are still super angry in 2 months you can take legal action. (sidebar: Take progressive photographs.) Treatment when the skin heals: Most caucasian or asian skin is left very pink or hypopigmented (very white). When the facial skin is burned there can be damage to the oil glands. No matter what, your skin is changed forever. You will never tan facially, you will be quick to burn so zinc oxide should be used for full protection. Until your skin is back 100% I recommend both men and women who have endured facial burns to use a cosmetic concealer that is formulated for post surgical scarring. www lindasiedel.com makes AMAZING products to conceal hyper and hypo pigmentation. This is for protection as well as aesthetics,. plus it will keep your self esteem in check!! Once you have healed and your skin has resumed as much color naturally,. you may want to consider starting a light regime to expedite new skincell turnover to help reduce the pigment. This program will NOT involve a tca peel. I make really good expeditors that abrade .01 micron per treatment, which is so mild but very noticable. If you have purchased TCA that is labeled 50% to 100% as a face peel, I beg you to reconsider applying this product to your face or body. If you want a second opinion, simply call your dermatologist or google a plastic surgeon in your area. Book a free consultation. Ask the doctor if she applys TCA peels at this percentage. In our office an applied safe/ medical grade TCA peel starts at $150 and up to $400. NO place on earth is it safe to buy and use a TCA peel that costs $10.00 (and remember! she made a profit on that!). Real triple acetic acid is expensive and sold only to exclusive salons for application or for compounding. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take Care Julie

I recently purchased a tca kit and was considering doing a 50%. This would be my first peel, should I go with the 50% or should i dillute it. If i dillute it, do i just add equal parts purified water or is there any other steps?
