I had a tca peel done 5 years ago that caused some web like hypopigmentation on several areas of my face. The dr. that performed the peel would like to perform 4 free fraxel dual laser treatments. I've read what could happen after this treatment and am too scared to try any laser. Is there anything else I should consider for the hypopigmentation, plus do to aging, large pores and uneven skin texture.
Are any doctors familiar with the process of being able to fully and permanently remove scars by softening them with TCA and then manually damaging the scar when it has been softened and in its most pliable stage? I have done medium depth TCA peels and stumbled upon this by accident when I picked at a whitehead which was situated on top of an acne scar. The whole scar turned pink in a day and over the course of a few days the scar seemed to detach from the healthy skin underneath.
Years ago, I did a TCA 35% home peel which left me with a large area on my right cheek hypopigmented. The cheek was disturbed accidentally, causing the outer skin to dislocate. Protecting it at that point didn't help, it's lighter. I also have light skin behind my ear. During a facelift pulled too tightly into the incision behind my ear. My question is, would a TCA peel done over this skin help or harm it? I'm going to do a peel soon and want to know if I should protect it with petroleum jelly.
I did a 20% TCA peal on Friday. Today is Wednesday and where the I had pimples the skin peeled and the skin looks pink/white. I washed my face and a brown ring has form around/on-top the pink. it is raised and a bit crusty. i applied mometasone furoate .1% ointment on it has reduced the tender tenderness and inflammation. How long with it take for the pink spots to heal? I have Retin-A .1% will that help fade the crusty brown rings around it?
TCA caused my face to have these BIG white, hypopigmented/discolored patches. It has been already 2 months. First question: What can I do to regain its color back? Second question: WILL the color ever be back? If so, for how long?
Its been one whole year since I carried a TCA (100%) peel treatment at home. My cheeks are still extremely red and hypo pigmented, especially my left cheek and I am very depressed. I initially conducted this treatment at home hoping it improve my scars. The pictures I posted of October 2013 show my face during the peel. I'm not sure what the yellow substance is. Could I get some advice on how I can resolve this issue? Thank You
