“Tca peel only with a plastic surgeon”
TCA peel: NOT worth it
Cost: $650
Pain: Severe
Pain: Severe
I got a tca peel friday evening, and it's thurs. morning, and I look awful.
I have high expectations for this painful peel since it is my second one.
I had a Jessner/ tca mix last time, and I believe that I had better results.
My skin is raw, but I hope-pray that these scars go away. This peel is awesome, and low cost---DON'T do this at home! It's acid...go to a plastic surgeon.

I used a 12.5% TCA solution and followed the instructions to the letter; I am extremely pleased with the results....if you are very careful, there is no reason you cannot do this yourself successfully. I have enough of the solution to give peels for at least 50 people and it cost me 25 plus shipping for what I am using..my skin is vibrant, and the lines have diminished greatly, I know it takes some courage, but, have all of your supplies at hand, and proceed cautiously. Good luck!
