$100
I have yet to go but I'm a bit nervous. Though I have contacted the facility and was advised and given extensive information on top of my constant research I feel that it's worth the try.
I have suffered from acne ny whole life I am now 27yrs old. I have had facial acne scarring since I was a teen. I would love nothing more then to get ride of them.
The place I found is a Lazer hair removal place that also does chemical peels and Dermabrasion. I have not been able to find much info about the guy doing it online as its a newly opened place for about a year now. But his company website and what he's told me sounds like he's qualified. I came across and online groupon which is 60 percent off deal for first time. It's going to be $35 plus tax and is normally $70 plus tax. I found the going rate it about 100$ here but since he is newly opened his rate must be lower to accommodate new clientele. So fingers crossed it goes well. If when i go I do not feel comfortable after my conciliation I will not be proceding.
I have bought antibiotic ointment and ceptical moisturiser along with mineral makeup powder to wear after healing so in total that all cost about $100

1 day pre
I instead got a 50% gylcolic acid peal
New101May 16, 2015
I did alot of research on the procedure. And when I went in today he suggested I do a less ovassive peel for my first time and he saw I was worried and concerned. And I recently broke out a bit on one side . (No on wants to mess their face up more you know.) So instead he recommended I get a 50% gylcolic acid peal of the whole face. Which I did. It had little comfort and went smoothly. I plan to go back in a few weeks time and get the tca peel as I think I'll have better results With that as my goal is to diminish my acne scars.

Good luck with the glycolic peel at home. Or I should say attempted. I did test and applied three times at five minute intervals. I called the company and they said to allow 15 minutes between applications. I did this for two hours with no results at all. They refunded my money. I followed their direction so I think it may be that my skin is very oily and the fat content of my skin may have been the problem. How did your procedure turn out. Any results?
May 28, 2015
No difference really. I think it made some acne come to the surface so I had white heads and pimples in places I don't normally. That has cleared up. But since then no real changes...
where did you purchase your product?

Do NOT have TCA or any other peel until 3 months after the glycolic....it's too soon and 50% for a first time peel is high.
I would go to a plastic surgeon and do 25% for the first time, apply vaseline or aquaphor immediately afterward until the peeling is complete and apply gauze soaked in vinegar (1 tsp) to 8 oz luke warm water during the first week.
I had great results with Dr. Dana Goldberg in Jupiter, Florida.
I have had both types.
Glycolic is an older method and I feel TCA gave better results.
After the peel you must use sunblock for the rest of time and if you do well in 3 mos go up to 35% TCA but I would only go to a physician as many things can occur.

What does vinager do? That doesn't sound good.
Yes I am wearing spf 50 and a massive sun hat I look rediculous! And I'm a sun lover but I'm sacrificing the bronzed skin for a better face!
I never read to not have tca after glycolic..
and yah the 50%glycolic I got done by a professional...it didn't even make my skin peel, and was a light tingle.
I did the 18%tca my self I don't think I would do a higher % at home tho
I want to get tca cross next in a few months.

Actually it was the post op instructions from my Dr. regarding application of vinegar soaks. every 20 minutes. It calms the skin and expedited healing and peeling was pretty serious this time without a flaw. Remember that if you wash with hot water you can reactivate the depth of the peel and get uneven blotchiness. Face with your back to the shower and wash hair only from behind. Blot face and keep applying compresses and ointment, Great results.
I am very fair, blue eyes, got rid of all the freckles and skin is beautiful if I must say. Because of my fairness, Dr. went 25% first time and I didn't peel but hadn't know about the vinegar compresses which may have activated more peeling. I am not sure.

You just have to space the peels as you can dehydrate the skin and thin it out. The epidermis rejuvenates on its own (slowly as we age) but peels are an immediate deeper exfoliation and new skin appears much faster. If you want it to be even in pigment do not pick off peel. Just wait it out as it is worth it. The ointment stops cracks from expression lines when your healing which can discolor so keep it completely lubricated until all peeling is completed on its own.
To clarify, you can do any peel after glycolic but not too soon is what I meant and I feel TCA did more for me in a faster period of time. It took away fines lines and freckles. Glycolic just refined the pores for me years ago at 30% and I went every two weeks for 4 treatments. TCA was not offered then.

If you can afford it, go to a doctor and do the full face. The frosting would scare me. You really need an assistant as did my dr. to do this properly.

Keep us updated plz :)

My skin didnt really do much was sensitive for a few days I avoided sun kept it moisturized some flacking around the nose and that's about it. Im not sure if I even see any improvements or not.

I had glycolic peels in my early 20s. You need a minimum course of six, four to six weeks apart, to see a difference.
I struggled with blackheads and spots and didn't tell anyone I was having it done. Then strangers started coming up to me to compliment me on my skin! There is no single - treatment miracle cure and, now in my mid 30s, I'm having to take preventative action to stay on top of acne that threatened to attack after a change in contraception. Keep going x

Do you have scaring?
I just purchased some at home tca and am going to do a few rounds of that in hopes it will improve my skin

Looking forward to your updates.I just purchased a 30% glycolic peel and 12.5% TCA from Makeup Artist Choice (online) and can't wait to get started. I'm hoping to reduce the appearance of scars on one side of my mouth. It looks like an age line but it's a scar...would love for that to soften up a bit. I also have ice pick scarring in that area...:(
June 22, 2015
I just perchased a 18% tca from makeup artist choice to. It arrived extremely fast. And I'm going to apply it on July 2nd as a I have a few days of of work before the weekend. I'm hoping that will give me enough healing time. I am also considering going to get a tca cross done to my ice pick scars , but I will see how this goes first.
August 21, 2015
Tca cross is 100% tca applied to just indent small scars with a tooth pic or fine pin head...it instantly raised the scar and makes them look less noticeable
That is for ice picks...I'm actually going to get this done next week I'll post pics on that

PS: My Dr. would not redo another peel until 3 mos past. So I listened and went back fir the 35%. Very happy.
July 8, 2015
How did the 35% go?
I wonder how many I'm going to need until I see results at 18%

Well I would do 25 professionally
Then in 3 mos 35 if dr approves
I think 18 is light and safe but only dr can judge the depth you need
My advice is 3 per yr at 25 or two at 35%

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by cross...still 3 mos is right for TCA per my Dr. and glycolic when it first came out was 30 per cent every two weeks for 3 or 4 in total, recommended in fall and it lasted at least 5 years but did not reduce freckles. TCA did entirely remove them at 35%. I am done for a year or longer.
I am an esthetician and I also do permanent hair removal with training in NYC and Paris, with proper dtraining and even at that prefer a Dr. only apply chemicals. There is a lot to learn.

The lips are considered mucous membrane and upper lip is thinner as is skin on forehead and neck, so the depth a peel penetrates needs to be observed professionally for frosting.
All complexions respond differently. Less is more until you really know your reaction but the point is you want to peel.
I would go strongest via a physician's advice after the first and let skin recover for best results. Just get it done and enjoy the result a good six months or more....NO SUN though.
