I aggree, these can be done on the same day but do not do the needling first. This really should be performed by an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
In the hands of an expert, a TCA peel and miconeedling can be combined on the same day. The TCA peel must be performed BEFORE the microneeling. Be sure to see and experience, expert doctor who know what he/she is doing and has lots of experience.
These procedures should not be done together; They are both great individually- I recommend microneedling for perioral lines, textural changes of the skin, superficial acne scarring and melasma. The down time is only 3 days. It also boosts collagen production, and it is great for all skin types (even darker skin).TCA is better for sun damage, precancers, lentigines (sun spots), mottled pigmentation on the neck and face (sun damage also), and occasionally acne as well. I use it with caution on darker skin types (have to do a test spot or lighter peels first). Consult with your board certified dermatologist to find out which procedure is right for you. You may need more than 1 treatment session to get your desired result. Best, Anita Gill MD

In theory, it can be done, but my suggestion is to see a medical dermatologist. There are conditions called keratoderma that can give rough hands. A compounded solution such as 5 % Lactic acid in sorbelene cream or 5-8% sal acid in cream can help. Calmurid is an over the counter prep and can be...

You need proper skin care by a Specialist. I am sure your local certified dermatologist is well capable of treating this. I place all my medium depth peel patients on antibiotics and anti viral meds, as well as a bland emollient or balm. You must stay out of the sun. You skin should heal with no...
