TCA Day 4
WORTH IT$200
Woke up to my snakey molted skin on the pillow. Bleh. Still a little puffy but the healed/peeled skin looks amazing. Will do a full face TCA myself (at a much lighter percentage, of course) around July 4. I did 18% on my smile lines on Friday and they look improved although I could have done a second layer. Woo hoo, almost all better.

Day 3 TCA peel
Puffier. I have to go see an old friend today at his house but he's known me since I was a kid so not concerned about him seeing me this way. I did put on some eye makeup and also tried to cover up the red/purple/brown messes under my eyes but it looked worse! Blegh. Tomorrow should be better.

Onward to a TCA peel
I am a puffy mess today. I feel like I look 110 years old hahaa. But, this too shall pass. Will post updates daily. Yesterday I had it done at my PS's office and I frosted like mad. I did this 3 years ago and was pleased with the results. Will be interesting to see if my months of micro needling in prep will help me garner a better result. Stay tuned...

Thanks for sharing your TCA peel journey. What % was it? That looks painful. I am considering having one in the fall. Good luck!

Either 30 or 35%. It hurt for the first minute, or so, then okay. Still puffy. Actually puffier today. Feels like there is fluid. Thanks!

My skin still improves but not as much as it once did when I started out. I want to get some kind of growth factor serum (any advice on this would be great) and use that instead of Renova.
As with anything, being consistent is key!
