Question

and also, can i do this TCA peel monthly? how much do i have to wait to do my second at home 18% tca peel?

These are use for different things and you could do sal acid at same time as the TCA.  I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Can not really advise you on what you are wanting to achieve, but as a guide, you should wait at least 3-4 weeks, depending on your skin type and how many coats of TCA. I do not advice more than 2 coats, 10% TCA as a DIY peel. At 18% I have seen scarring from DIY with multicoating. Video shows how to stay SAFE. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
