Glycolic Acid Prep for 30 Percent TCA Peel?

December 16, 2009
Asked By:azobac in AZ

I have a Glycolic Acid clear solution. I would like to know what percentage I should use, how many weeks should I use it prior to the peel, and how many times per week I should apply it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have had successful TCA peels in the past, but I have heard that a pre treatment would be beneficial.
