What is the appropriate treatment for hypopigmentation caused by a TCA peel? Will the color go back to normal?

Question

TCA caused my face to have these BIG white, hypopigmented/discolored patches. It has been already 2 months. First question: What can I do to regain its color back? Second question: WILL the color ever be back? If so, for how long?

Please post photos for further evaluation. I have found the best treatments for this are a combination.  Nothing "cures" this completely but you can get improvement with Fraxel or viva and microneedling with PRP.  I suggest only seeing an expert as skin care and sun protection will be essential as well.  Best, Dr. Emer

Need to see some photos to give the best advice. We also need to know a lot more info. namely your skin type, the concentration of TCA, any history of vitiligo, number of coats of TCA, after care etc....etc... To get pigment back I use a combination of lasers, Lumigan, phototherapy and Recell. Always a solution possible. CheersDr Davin LimBrisbane, Australia.
