WORTH IT
I should have posted a photo to go with the post above. I have makeup on in the pic on the left that was taken 1-year post TCA Peel. I am not wearing any makeup in the pic on the right that was taken 18-mos after the TCA peel.

Lasting Results
I remain happy with the results of my peel at nearly 18-mos post procedure. I have had some unevenness return owing to sun exposure -- there was a weekend getaway at the lake when I forgot to bring my wide-brimmed hat. But it is plausible. I make sure to wear sun block rain or shine and reapply every two hours when I am in the sun. I never sun bath anymore and I have come to enjoy my lighter skin.
The results will last if you take care of your skin and protect it!

I really would like to get this done . How long did you have to hide out after the peel before you were able to go out in public? can you never go out in the sun again without full sunblock?

It was either 5 days or a full week. The exact time is posted above somewhere. Correct you cannot go out into the sun with 50 sunblock and reapply every 2 hours -- and if it is strong sun then I suggest that you'll need a wide brimmed hat, too.

A secret ingredient for great skin
Great skin requires you taking care of yourself. I absolutely notice the difference in the quality of my skin and even my face when I am going through a stressful time, or not sticking to my beauty regimen. Obviously if you are a smoker and / or drinker of unhealthy things like alcohol and caffeine and sugar then your skin is going to show the effects in a way that is not good. I have found that drinking a large bottle of mineral water every day makes a huge difference. By large bottle I mean 50 oz. All in all I try to get 80-100 oz of liquid each day per my nutritionist.
I have also been told mineral makeup is good for skin although I don't use it (I've got too much invested in Sephora makeup to throw it out).
