“Be Careful with TCA Chemical Peel”

Not Worth It
Spent: $700 in Boise, Idaho
I had a 20% Obagi Blue Peel. The peel was extremely painful - I was actually sent home with a prescription for Vicodin for the pain. I had open wounds on my face for 3 weeks.
Two months later I have noticeable scarring, redness and hyperpigmentation. I had a very experienced Plastic Surgeon do my peel and these things still happened to me! Do not take this procedure lightly! Everytime I look in the mirror I am very, very sorry that I did this.
