I Had scars on arms bought 100% TCA did a 35% peel on one arm and a 25% on the hand since the hand skin is much thinner then the skin on your arm. Washed skin before and used a skin peel brush bought on line with the 100% TCA diluted with saline making sure not to over lap brush strokes, I did two layers of peel on the arm and one dulited to on the hand . There was a slight burn on the arm a little hotter burn on hand with 25% TCA peel. The TCA peels will stop the process on there own, but you can also use baking soda to stop if you wish In 3-4 min. I let it stop the process on its own . It took a few days to start to peel on hands I kept the skin soft applying vitamin E and Vasiline .
The arm took about 4 days to start the peel and as of today the arms are still peeling a little most of the skin on the top of my arm came off in big sheets ( I put vitamin E on my arm about 25 time a day till peel started), and made sure there was a nice coat of E as the rest is peeling my arm looks wonderful it's still peeling and a little pink but the big white spots are most of the way gone. I might do another peel in 6 to 9 months. I am getting ready to do the other arm and then my face.

Wow, that's great, thank you for posting here! What percentage are you planning for your face?

I am think about a 35% on the face but a 20% under eyes. I just did my other arm today .The arm I did looks great still a little peeling on edge of peel hand looks 10 years younger ... Remember to use vitamin E and gently was x2 a day till you peel and keep doing the vitamin E till the peel is done ..I alone use coconut oil body butter every day you will start to see the peel in about 3-5 day please don't let it itch you will not heal as well. Also if you skin gets pink which is ok as long as it's not burned , more like a slight sun burn look is ok,,,,cortisone cream will help the pinkness go away faster because in shrinks caperlaries whitch is red blood cells.....hope this helps.

Update 25% two layer TCA peel right hand

ladyedan
Hi this is my right hand post TCA 25% (TCA peels self nuterlize ) two layers or peel fluid wit a fan brush. The hand will still look a lot better in a few more weeks still putting Vitamin E on x2 a day also added cortisone cream since it helps shrink red blood cells. Whitch will take any pinkness away but I really did not get any on my haww time do a test spot!, on hand peels remember to do knuckles hehe..... My arm is close to the end of the peeling stage p moist till done peeling .
I work in the medical field and the biggest thing I can say is . If it's your first time do TEST site if you have dark skin don't do it at home it's much more of a risk.
For me fair to medium skin TCA is the best I got my 100% TCA and the fan brush from ebay from a seller that had thousands of sales and 100% positive feedback .
Good Luck :-) hope this helps and I'll post the right arm when done it's looking good did a 35% two layers
