No peeling after a TCA peel. Does this mean the peel didn't work?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Healing is variable from patient to patient and the strength of the peel, it doesn't mean you won't have good results. I recommend following up with your Doctor about appropriate after care to improve your final results. I recommend lasers, microneedling/prp and skin care. Sun protection is essential. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Its hard to say- depends on how long ago the peel was given and what strength TCA, how well prepared your skin was for the peel, how much the skin was cleaned before the peel, how oil and thick your skin is. There are a lot of variables.  A 10% TCA peel is very mild and some patients don't peel with it. Talk to your doctor and get his feedback. Depending on what you are attempting to accomplish with the peel, you may need a stronger peel.
