$100
I don't recommend this to anyone! It was a VERY painful experience. I was off work for 2 weeks and had a horrible time! The swelling was so severe my eyes were swollen all but shut for 6 days! I was afraid to go out in public.
I did a 100% TCA peel at home 4 weeks ago. The usual swelling pain was experienced, but now I still have a LOT of redness. Any one know how long it will take for this redness to disappear?

percentage. For face, if you are beginner, use at least not more than 12%
TCA. For body, use at least not more than 25%. Apply Hydrocortizone creams,
wear sun blocks with high SPF's and drink lots of water.
omg... you should never use 100% they dont even use that at the doctors office. anything over 30% is used on the body you should do a patch test always. this is why you need to see an esthetician or doctor people who know what they are doing. people just dont realize how strong peels are and they sure dont no what percent to put on there face. just because the ad looks good does not mean it is good for your type of skin and not only that you are getting it from the internet so how sure are you about what your buying. it looks like you need to go see a doctor right away and get some emu oil.
If you want the STRONG stuff, search the internet for this chemical called: "Phenol Acid", it is also called "carbolic acid" in the scientific community. This stuff is so strong that it takes months to heal and doctors will have to measure your heart-rate along with putting you in anesthesia.
After some general research, I would say that phenol acid peel is just not worth the risk. The chemical metabolize into your lungs and passes through your kidney. It's just not worth it. It's a good read though...
if anyone has a question about peels please email me i am an esthetician.
I have used the 100% TCA peel on my stomach region as well as to treat a Keloid on my chest. I did not dilute it as recommended, and I am now experiencing brown dark discolouration because I have burnt my skin. I am currently using ScarAway Silicone sheets for 1 month now, and it has lightened the scars to a certain level. But the darkness still remains and is very obvious. can you please inform me what else I can use to speed up the process? I am a model and have lost many assignments due to this problem.
Thanks

Hi GG101,
I have mild acne scarring with discoloration (not as deep as icepick, but mild indentation). I have used a TCA 15% peel and seen little improvement. How many peels should I expect to do before I see great results?Thanks so much (its in spots, not all over face).
Hi, my name is farah, and i did a 30% TCA+ jessners peel at home. i put on too many layers and let it frost too much on my cheeks. my forehead and chin are ok. basically, i made it too deep. i have olive to dark skin and i'm on my fourth day of peeling. i'm trying to let it go very slow because the new skin that i am seeing on my cheeks are pink. not white tho, but it looks like that there is no more pigmentation. it's just pink. i have been moisturizing alot! i am using in olive oil, vanicream moisturizer, and a serum that is supposed to restore skin, called Mebo skin restore, and i put on layers of manuka honey on my pink areas to keep it covered and help the healing process. i know it's still early but i am SO afraid of permanent hypo-pigmentation. i read the ginger root can help even out the skin and help melanin come back to those areas. please tell me how severe my situation is, how long could it take to be normal again, what can do, what can i use to get my coloring back on these pink areas. my username on this site is bonnyfairy. i also put up some pics. my email is b*****************.com. please let me know ASAP!
