Did TCA 25% peel at home. Almost immediately chin and the skin between my eyebrows frosted (about 1 min or less) but nowhere else. I let it sit for a few more seconds and between the burning and worrying about the frosted areas, I rinsed off with water. My entire face peeled to varying degrees but I did not get the results I desired. Next time how should I go about so I can get more areas to frost? How long can the 'frost' remain on skin while waiting for other areas to frost? Thanks!

Thank you for your question. It is never recommend that you use professional grade peels at home because of the high risk of adverse reactions. I suggest you go see a dermatologist to access your blister.
I do not know how much after your peel these photos were taken.. In some of your photographs, it appears that the dark areas may be just burnt superficial skin and need peeling. If this is not the case and the photos are more than three weeks old, would not do anything and...
In general, if you have had a TCA peel in the last 3-6 months you are fine to proceed with having a facelift. However, I like to do the TCA peel in the perioral and central face area. If in doubt, I would wait 3-6 months.
