IPL After a 35% TCA (Traumatic) Home Peel - Indianapolis, IN

Speedy:
So glad to hear! I bet even with very little scarring, your skin will continue to improve.

You're (still) in my prayers! God bless

nadia:

Finacea is a drug that contains somethign called Azelaic Acid. Its a substance that occurs naturally in the skin. Finacea is for acne and rosacea. It does a fine job of fading red marks and hyperpigmentation. It works somewhat slowly but does work very nicely (and evenly too). I've been on it for about 6 weeks and my skin is starting to look very nice and even.

Keep in mind, I've had a 35% TCA peel at home (botched), 5 pulsed dye laser traetments, and a IPL treatment (that burned me). Finacea is a very safe topical.

Without insurance, Walmart charges $195 to fill finacea. Or, you can get it through an Australia pharmacy for $25 + $10 airmail (this is what I do, as I have no insurance).

Lastly, finacea contains an acid, so it works somewhat similiar to retin a. You will probably experience dryness and maybe some flaking.

God bless!

Finacea! It WORKS (I got burned too).

You guy get it here in the states for $195 (w/o insurance) or you can order it online from an Australia pharmacy for $35 (that includes shipping).

IT WILL GET BETTER!

CellM:
Look into the NEW fraxel wavelength 1927. The 1927 wavelength is new and its specifically created just for pigment issues (melasma). And, its very superficial. The 1927 Wavelength only penetrates up to .2 into the skin, instead of 1.6 like the original 1550 wavelength. I havent done 1927 yet, but Im going to most likely have it done in a few months (when I can get time off of work).

Also, the damage the IPL did to my skin, I do think it continues to improve. But damn the girl who operated that machine and did it to me. Damn her to hell.
