I did TCA cross and microneedling in the same day. We did 60% TCA on some of my icepick / boxcar scars. Some of them he did really well, others I'm worried he may have applied too much and it got on the healthy surrounding skin. Will this result in more scarring? A lot of what I read online said you should only apply it deep in the scar and avoid getting it on the icepick scar border. I've been keeping them moist with Aquaphor and Neosporin. Anything I can do to aid in the healing of these?
I applied 25% tca on my face to get rid of dark spots and hyperpigmentation from acne . Its been 5 days now my face is dark browned from the acid and feels like rubber is on my face . What will happen if this does not peel at all
I accidentally applied 100% tca chemical peel all over my face and left it for 7 minutes and washed my face. It's been 5 days my face is all dark and not peeling at all. I am very scared doctor. I don't know what to do please help me.
now day 5 still no peeling. painted 70% TCS layers back and forth with a brush. stung 20 minutes. was told didn't need to neutralIze as meant to stop anyway after 5. I waited 3 days. is red and wrinkly but no peel and didn't turn white when first put on. was told it should if working. so did another 70% peel day 3. it looks red and wrinkly like tissue paper. no burning pain but a deep ache and throb. I have fair to medium skin. when will it start to peel? does moisturiser slow it from starting?
Six days ago I had a 20% TCA peel. However, I stupidly did not disclose that I had received a glycolic peel peel a week prior (I really wanted results, fast). I had been using retin a in perpetration also. All the skin has peeled off on my face and left two, bright red patches under my eyes that I think are becoming slightly raised. Am I in the process of becoming permanently scarred? I am very concerned. I have prescription cortisone and also silicone gel. What can I do?! Thank you!
This was done 6 days ago and Everything was fine until it started peeling. With bright PINK skin under instead of my normal skin. I'm positive my neck will never be normal again and will need plastic surgery. I use Neosporin and Cetaphil , Aquaphor sometimes. What should i do? I will get surgery immediately if needed..
Had TCA cross done at the doctors office about a week ago, the scabs fell of two days ago and the holes look deeper and wider.She used a needle to administer. Will these fill in? I also have pinkish skin around the scars. These were ice pick scars. Ive just been washing with cetaphil, putting on polysporin and spf 30 when I go out, I avoid sun completely. I guess I'm just worried I've made it worse, holes look deeper than before TCA.
I am a 30 yrs old indian male with brown skin, After the 30% tca peel, my neck is even darker. Is this normal? does the skin will correct in a few days? Am I over-reacting, should I wait for a few more days to see? if not what are my options? Will laser help after scrapping the top layer of neck's skin? I did this peel this to get rid of hyperpigmentation caused by 4% hydroquinone so bleaching agent is not an option to fix this. Please advise and help. will the pink spots go away? Thanks
I did it a week ago, and back in 2008 I had one done and I remember the dermatologist did it very frequently with me, and I only had 3 sessions done and it let my face like porcelain, clear from age spots and sun damage. I loved it so much that i decided to research and found out I can do it myself. I tried it again this year at 15% and the results after 7 days are amazing. When can I perform another TCA?
I had TCA peel exactly 1 week ago. The doctor applied 25 %, my skin frosted and after approx.2 min was neutralized. My skin peeled off completely yesterday and I was very enthusiastic about the results, but I see no results at all?! How is it possible, as I have read so many good reviews? Even large pores are still there not to mention about acne scarring...wich is really not so significant to begin with... Do I have to give it more time or is TCA just not suitable for my skin???
