Have I burned my skin? TCA peel at home (Photo)

Question

I used 75 percent TCA on my skin at home (I know that is way too much). Have I burned my skin permanently or does this look normal? This is day 2 btw.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you likely did and will get permanent hyperpigmentation and/or scarring if you do not start red light therapy, stem cell topicaly therapy, faith essence serum and is clinical hydracool, and sun prootection right now. 2-3 weeks from now you need to do an enlighten, consmelan, or aerify peel. see emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily and ship products overnight.
Burns need a combination of:
1) healing lasers and light such as aerolase or laser genesis and LED therapy with light stim
2) topical growth factors, stem cells, antioxidants
3) oxygen facials
4) platelet rich plasma and A cell topically
5) sun protection
6) vascular lasers for redness such as venus versa IPL, excel V KTP, and pulsed dye laser/VBeam
After 6-12 weeks you can treat for hyperpigmentation with cosmelan peels, hydroquinone, retinol or non ablative lasers like clear and brilliant or radiofrequency like venus viva.
Please see a laser, scarring and burn expert.
