Two weeks later...

$24
OK so I didn't do my entire stomach b/c I was unsure of the results, but it definatly lifted the stretch marks to the surface. Skin is still peeling & red. Very pleased with results.

i want to ask thatt from where you made this surgery. i mean which country and city
Does the skin quality also improve? For example my stretch marks collapse over when I bend etc. You mentioned the stretch marks have come to the surface but are they also tighter? Thanks a lot!
no they arent any tighter but i plan on doing a second TCA peel 2 my abdomen next week. i will update my thread as I go.
Can you tell us a little bit about your stretch marks? How old are they? Are they from multiple pregnancies?
they are old... and from multiple pregnancies. The oldest is 14 and youngest is 5.
Okay. Thanks. Just wondering because mine are old and I was thinking of trying this.
Same. Will keep people in the loop!
And you used 25 percent tca ?
Because I have stretch marks that are a year old? I was wondering if it would work
How much is it..

i have had 4 children and was left with sever stretch marks. open to try any treatment to minimize them... I read about TCA improving texture. I am still in the healing process so I will post my journey. If you have any special suggestions let me know. I am also taking collagen pills and frequently moisturizing as well as use of aloe vera.

And your tummy...
If this works on the stretch marks you may have something there.  Does it sting?
It stings as much as TCA application anywhere, but the downtime is longer & peeling doesn't begin until day 7...I will keep everyone up to speed on my progress.
Sounds great.
Now it has been almost 12 days since the peel. It was more painful than a standard face peel. unsure why... but it also took longer to begin peeling. It did not start peeling until day 8 but I will say not much change in scarring but texture has a big difference. my very deep stretch marks are superficial now.
That's crazy!    I guess this one just takes a bit longer to get started.  But glad to hear the stretch marks are looking better.
What collegen pills will you be taking?
Sana Naturals
Any pics?
Could you share where you purchased your peel?
Please refrain from self medicating with TCA. While you have type I light skin, and have not scarred as yet, anyone trying this remedy with olive or deeper skin risks serious pigmentation problems. Some of the effects thus far may be due to swelling and flaking of the hardness around the peel. Streak peeling like you are doing should be approached with great caution. I know you can purchase TCA off the internet, but please obtain professional advice on this matter. Best wishes in your goal to reduce stretch marks. Sometimes fat transfer with small amounts can reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and even some light-based treatments as well.
