I had a tca peel done 5 years ago that caused some web like hypopigmentation on several areas of my face. The dr. that performed the peel would like to perform 4 free fraxel dual laser treatments. I've read what could happen after this treatment and am too scared to try any laser. Is there anything else I should consider for the hypopigmentation, plus do to aging, large pores and uneven skin texture.

Hello,
You’re right a TCA peel is very brutal.
