Recently did a 50% TCA peel on my tattoo I peeled, so I applied another - risks?

Question

Probably a week in between. Do I risk any side effects

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I don't recommend applying a TCA peel yourself, due to the risk of hyperpigmentation and/or burns. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. 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.
