I had my first TCA 30% Peel on Monday at 2pm, and today is Friday... I’ve peels around my chin but no where else yet. My forehead had 4 passes and rest of my face 2-3. Is this normal to not see peeling at this point? Why haven’t I started to really peel yet? I am using the Zo Post Procesure Recover System with their foamaclense 2-3x daily as it describes. Thoughts??

I recommend following up with your practitioner about after care and skin care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
TCA will remove a tattoo, and at 50% it will replace it with a scar. This scar can be excised and grafted. Not ideal, but this is reality. Nano and pico lasers should be used to remove tattoos, as the risk of scarring is minimal. The Fiori Institute of Skin and Body Brisbane. Australia.
No, not a good idea. I would space these peels to 4 weeks and only apply 2 coats in a non drip manner. Multi coating even at 5% can give severe pigmentation problems and scarring. Please be safe and take things easy. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
