I am looking for a treatment to fade away, self harm scars on my wrist and have researched into TCA Peel for scar removal, I was wondering if this is recommended? And what percentage, as I have ordered into the 20%, 50% and 70%?
I want to do an at home tca 20% peel. I want to know if I can do a section of my face at a time? Since it is so painful. I wanted to start with a 20% since I have a lot of scarring...I am nervous about doing this but I am doing my homework and I will have all the necessary products needed for aftercare.. I want to know if I can do sections of my face at a time. Also do you think a 20% tca peel is the right choice for me? Thanks so much!
I have. Crows feet which developed within the last year!!i believe its from not drinking water,,but i am condering a undereye peel..would a 15% tca peel help with this issue its soo embarrassing.I dont like telling my age because. People make a face im 28 with theses problems and i also have bad skin discoloring. ..Will a 15 % tca helo??
is tca cross in low percentage (10-20%) effective for acne scars? (ice pick, boxcar and rolling). i'm ok with doing more sessions if the results are minimal because of the percentage but the professional i found said she only does it that way. i'm scared i'm just wasting money and time if it's not effective at all. thank you very much.
I bought a small bottle of 10% TCA solution. I know we're not supposed to do TCA peels at home, but I did my research really well and took all the precautions. I applied a layer of 10% and didn't feel anything. I applied another 2 layers and still didn't feel anything. On my 4th layer, I kinda felt the tingling. I was aiming for some frosting, but nothing really happened. Just the tingling. Same with my 5th layer. Is that normal for a 10% TCA solution?
I got a TCA peel two weeks ago in the hopes that it would help fade my PIH that I had been struggling to fade for about two months with hydroquinone 2% (which worked before) to no avail. The doctor diluted a 50% solution, though I don't really know what percentage it got reduced to. Suffice to say, it didn't work and it even made me purge. I heard clay masks can help with acne, so I was wondering if it's safe for me to use after the peel. Tips for my PIH would also be appreciated. Thanks!
On 1st march very deep TCA done. Scab came out on 30 march from 1st April till date (3 months) still no improvement, see pink (final layer/tissue not coming), can see between, branch like hard hypertrophic scaring. afraid from laser please suggest best topical only if not possible then only suggest which laser name, session. i don't have infection in scar few acne came but treated using doxycycline oral. some time patient are not aware about if laser machine used is right or not so better avoid.
I was wondering if it's possible to use TCA as a toner daily or a couple times a week. Like a 5% solution. I have gotten TCA peels done before and they have improved my scars greatly but my skin texture is horrible. Everytime I have gotten a TCA peel done my skin texture improves so much and my pores look non existent. But after all the peeling I start to get the same textured/bumpy skin again (even if I use tazorac and/or other products). So could I use a 5% TCA regularly to maintain smooth skin?
I buy 100% TCA and dilute it to 20% with distilled water. 2 days ago I stuck my qtip into the bottle to spot treat 2 places on each cheek. It was the 100%!!! I immediately splashed with water and put a paste of baking soda on it, but it instantly frosted. One side it ran down my face. I have 2 significant burns on each cheek. I've been applying silvadene cream 2 or 3 times a day, spf 50 and aquaphor at night. Anything else I should do other than throwing the TCA in the trash??
