Ive tried retin a, salicylic acid, pretty much every pore/scar lotion/cream there is. Only thing i havnt tried is needling or tca cross or things like that. Alot of people always stare at my nose and get grossed out im just annoyed by it. I dont pick at it or anything when the blackheads come out im just left with all these holes. I was hoping retina would work but after over a year of using it with no results i gave up on it.
I went through 2 sessions of TCA CROSS (100% concentration was used in both sessions, according to my Dermatologist), with the first session, only the tiny scars on my left cheek reacted. Went for the 2nd session 5weeks later, I did raise my concern that the scars on my right cheek that is bothering me has not reacted in the least, during the session, 2application was done in that session on those concerned scars, but still, barely any scabing is happening. Should I be continuing on with this?
My cheek areas are brownish looking now and texture of my face after 2 peels is still not a good result and cheeks never seem to peel can you give me advise on why my peels are not working and what I could possibly do to correct discoloration or something that would improve my face
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???
I prepped & soaked a cotton pad. Then I did 1 pass over my face. I let it sit for 3.5 min. roughly and it never frosted. I woke up the next day and was shocked that my face looked normal. I do feel a VERY small amount of tightening in my forhead where I went first and around my mouth. But no redness. My cheeks looks and feels like normal. I don't think I saturated the cotton pad enough and was too conservative with my pass. Can I do a second pass the day after or do I need to wait a couple weeks.
