In our office, we perform many chemical peels and TCA 15% treatments can be performed at 4 week intervals. I would suggest using a alpha beta hydroxy acid treatment pad such as Melapads once or twice daily in between sessions. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
TCA peels can be very beneficial for the skin. We can perform TCA peels in the office at a 4 week interval to reduce fine wrinkles, pigmentation, and improve skin quality. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Once the skin has epithelialized, it is ok to use an exfoliating cream. In our office, we advise patients to begin Melarase creams (Melarase AM and Melarase PM) to help reduce pigmentation after a chemical peel. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
