Looking good!!! Hopefully the results on your face will be just as good as the test patch :)
Please only get this done professionally. Length of time left on for, layering etc will all effect how much damage is done. You may be left with pigmentation or worse if not careful. Good luck.
Skin is clear as a baby skin :)
yes girl! rock it! :D
Have u done it to your whole face? Im thinking about doing one but am a bit nervous, i use tca for the cross method but am looking into the 25% tca peel for my entire face, if so did u see a difference in ur scars?
I haven't yet. This was my test spot , which I will be doing my whole face. I think I am going to start with a 15 % , maybe :) but I won't do two layers as I did my test spot tho. I will go light at first
Did you do 2 passes with the 25% or 15% when u did your test patch? Looks good i want to try this too
I did two with 25%
brave girl!! i'm definitely looking into doing a 25% (one pass) on my entire face, but i'm sure i need at least a week or 2 free from life before i can consider it, but i really want to, did you see much difference in your skin after it peeled?
I can see it's much smoother. I wish the test patch had scars so I could tell more , but it didn't.
Thanks for replying, keep us posted when you do your full face, Id like to see what you think and if it's worth it
I will for sure post pictures and keep an update
Looks really good how long did you leave it on for thanks for sharing
Would suggest getting it done professionally for your face friend always take care

Wao i am amazed i wanna know your peeling history have you ever tried glycolic or salicylic before and about tca have you tried 12 % or 15 % before or you directly went on 25 % because i heard you must start with lowest percent then work your way up i have taken 2 glycolic peel just a week ago the first one was 35 and the second one was 50 percent with no result what so ever now i have been thinking to do a tca at home but i am scared to death because i forced my drmatologist many times to do a tca on my face but she said its very strong and she won't do it so now i have been thinking this is my battle i have to fight it on my own so please share peeling history if you have any thanks
I have done chemical peels before , I am not sure of the percentage though , I know ... But one of those things that I didn't even thought to ask until I came across TCA ... I get them after my dermapen treatment , usually stings and I peel very lightly , so I imagine it isn't very strong. My last one was on April 21st. I went directly with the 25% , mostly following the reviews I have read , and trust me I read and still do. My test patch though was a bit strong for me whole face , I don't think I will do as deep at first and see how my fave reacts to it. I am happy to see that I did peel and I have no damage , which that is what I was terrified !

Definitely a longer healing since I used it deep. But I believe it's worth it. Wouldn't do my whole face like this unless I have a lot of time to be indoors , which I don't. :) one coat and light would be perfect !

Hey, thanks for sharing, how long did you apply the TCA on your face? Also any advise on how you applied it etc... From what I have seen your progress looks completely normal Thanks for getting back to me :-)
I applied it the first layer and left it for about 5 minutes , didn't frost , applied the second and left it for another 3 minutes. As soon as it frosted I washed it with cold water. I would not recommend to do it that way , especially if you have not used any peels in the past. 25% is a very strong peel. I would gradually do it. I am starting my whole face with a 15% to see how it reacts to it.
Cool, thanks :-)
