“Tca peel ruin my face”

TCA peel: NOT worth it

Cost: $471
Pain: Uncomfortable
TCA peel satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor
I do not recommend my TCA peel provider: Sign in or join to view provider name
Why: Nobody knows ahead of time how acid it is going to leave the skin for some individually could be worse depending on the skin or how the skin is going to react after such thing...
Seeking help:

Used TCA 50% and now I have brown spots all over my face like hyperpigmentation or signals of acid. How can I lighten the spot ??
Review of TCA peel:

Used TCA just for 3 spots of sun damage but the Dr did applyed on all the face to prevent discoloration. Now my face is worse.

Hi this is common when your face is not prepared or cared for after. If you go and get retin A you will see a great improvement. (the reason you have it is your sunscreen is not working..you cant miss ONE day or your hosed) get a better sun screen for both rays. I use CVS 50 and it will work fine. I also use Azaelic Acid cream mixed with over the counter fade cream 2% hydroquinone. My spots are almost gone and now I dont have to wear make up..txture is better because of chem peel. they all work great but have to be used together.
