  • Posted to TCA 40% Way to Strong. I Got 2nd Degree Burns, From TCA on Ebay - Nyack, NY on 28 Feb 2013

    You can use 30% or even 35% on the face (not the neck) *if* you've worked your way up to that level with months of Retin-A and several previous peels (and of course provided your skin isn't sensitive to the TCA acid). I've used 35% strength on my face recently and it worked fine, though it does take about 10 days to fully heal.

    Yep.

    Yeah, 40 percent TCA is definitely too strong for the neck, and a bit strong for most faces, I'd think. I used 30 percent on my neck once and it took a rather long time to heal. It did heal, and my neck is great now but I'll never used that potency on my neck again.

    Your problem, perhaps, was going to a plastic surgeon for this. I've done this peel to myself about ten times and it's never been a big deal at all. Personally, I wouldn't let a doctor come near my face with acid. And especially not a knife!

    I don't have any before and after pics, but if you look up Dr. Des Fernandes on google or Youtube you should be able to find a recent video of him. He's 70 and has been needling his hand and face for years. His skin looks smooth and nice, and he looks at least ten years younger than his age.
