After TCA Peel for Stretch Marks (At-Home)
ORIGINAL POST
Picture of my thigh after 50% tca peel from online...
$100
Picture of my thigh after 50% tca peel from online store (was done on both thighs). My reason for doing this was to lighten up my many stretch marks but made it 100x worse as you can see.
It has been about 2 months now and it has only lightened up a bit because i have been applying Vit E. Will the scars fade away with time or is this someting im going to have to live with? I dont want to have to see a Dr because it is very embarrassing. I will definitely not try this again. Someone please help.

I had stretch marks from the time I was a teenager to young adult and it caused me to have to cover myself up to prevent embarrassment. I tried various forms of chemical peels which never panned out and also considered looking into laser surgery removal but the costs and scars steered me away. I then began researching various stretch mark removal creams online and purchased a couple cheap ones like Mederma and Strivectin only to find myself dissappointed after 3 months with barely any results. I finally decided to spend a little bit more but try a product which had fantastic reviews online and came with a 60 day money back guarantee in case I didnt see results. Im happy to report that after purchasing Trilastin SR stretch mark removal cream from Trilastin.com I saw results in as little as 3 weeks and now after a couple months of religiously using the product I am practically stretch mark free and could'nt be more thrilled! For anyone looking to remove old or new stretch marks whether caused by weight gain/loss or pregnancy, I would highly reccommend Trilastin SR to anyone!

If this is true, please post a before and after picture. This would help validate your results.

Hello,
I have the same problem - I used TCA 30% 3 layers and my skin become darker... (I have white skin). Could you please let em know what you did, because I it's very scary for me...

I hope you didn't apply to the face, if you did then dont ever forget your sunscreen and try your best to stay out of the sun because it will maker even darker. since mine were on my hips, I used alot of vitaminE and coconut butter and let time pass. it took almost 2 years for it to be completely gone. Hope that helps

Thank you so much for your answer! I have the same situation as yours - it's on my hips (stretchmarks...)

No, I used hydroquinone bleaching cream (4%) and Night Cream with Kojic Acid (bought it in supersupliments)

I have stretch marks too. On my back and arms. I'd like to try some chemical peeling. I wonder what your recommendation will be.
Btw, it's been 4 years (if it were not you, if it were many others, they would probably have already left the forum) so thank you for caring enough to update. Very much appreciated :)

well what ever you do, don't use 50% its way to strong and i truly suggest you have it professionally done. i no longer do it

TCA peels made my stretchmarks look worse. At first I thought I was getting improvement but I darkened my skin. I'm black with a light brown skin tone . Also, you can't leave TCA on your skin for a long period of time. I tried. Car boxy even discounted price was expensive. It helped minimally. I no longer have the dark marks from the chemical peel. I will continue to try to lessen my stretch marks maybe fraxel.

you need need to go some where with your stupid comments. i bet the same [RS bleep] happened to you or even worse that's why your on here talking smack. don't bother to comment because im not going to waist my time talking to sum [RS bleep].

So your dark marks from chemical peel is gone? That's amazing. I just did mine like on August 8 on my thighs and it left dark marks on my thighs I'm freaked out. It was 26% tca peel

If you have a white skin, the dark spots should be gone in the 2-3 month (it was my case). I was VERY scared when it happens to me... Nobody could tell me why my skin reacted this way, but I used hydroquinone bleaching cream (4%) and Night Cream with Kojic Acid (bought it in supersupliments)

You should of used only 25% because that is the highest suggested percentage for skin of color. I plan on doing a series of tca peels on all of my stretch marks. I have been doing my research. Check out shadylane2121 video on youtube. I think that I will do her method , but instead of using a q tip to apply the tca ; I will use a cotton ball. Also 4% hq or 6% kojic acid would of cleared that mark that you had right up in about 1 to 4 months.

Thank you for post. Stretch mark s are one trickiest things on the human body to remove. On white skin they are red before they get silvery white. On skin of color I have never seen a red/pink stretch mark. Good luck let me know.
