Whats the way to use TCA peels for acne scaring? Just some quick background. I've been on Doxycycline for about 2 months now and my acne is getting better. Its no longer pimples anymore as much as it is red marks on my cheeks from when I was insecure in highschool and popped em. I'm also using an Atralin gel(tretinoin) on my face at night.

Does TCA peel for home use work for all skin types? I have light olive skin. I've always felt that my skin has a thick texture. I basically have shallow scars and reddish dark discoloration on my nose from previous acne.I purchased a 25% TCA peel from an accredited website with a liscenced esthetician. I only applied the peel on my nose. My skin turned red but did not peel even though I applied it a couple of times. Then I purchased the well-known Ezpeel from the internet which is also a TCA peel with an approximate 20% strength. applied it on my nose and my skin turned red again but did not peel yet again. I kept on applying it but my skin would not peel. Why is this happening to me? I mean the TCA peel makes your skin peel right, so why did my skin not peel, not even the slightest. Is it because of my thick skin texture, I don't know. Has anybody experienced similar problems or heard about a case similar to mine?What do i do to make the TCA peel my skin?
Has anybody used at home chemical peels? So I'm 19 and considering buying an at home TCA peel. I want to use it on my face for acne scars, and on areas of my body to get rid of some other scars. Has anybody used these before? And if so what were your experiences?

Is it typical to get a 70% glycolic peel before a tca (medium) peel? A dermatologist's office mentioned over the phone that the dermatologist usually likes to give a 70% glycolic peel before doing the tca peel. I was wondering if that is the usual since I'd read that there is an at-home skin prepping for about a month with glycolic products. Just wondering if is necessary for the peel to get the utmost results or if it is to add more money to the dr's bank. Thank you! I have skin discoloration that may really be helped by such a skin peel. Any information or input is so appreciated.

Has anyone ever gotten a tca (medium) skin peel by a doctor? I was wondering what kind of results you'd gotten, and if you got the blue peel which mixes the tca with it for a more controlled peel or if you asked the dr to use tca alone. I was hoping to invigorate my skin as the elasticity and pigmentation is not like it used to be, and I'm almost 35. Thanks! I have yet to go to a dermatologist but was just wondering if anyone has gotten one and their results. Thank you for the suggestion of microdermabrasion though I've read that it can be harsh as well, and I have really sensitive skin. You're right, and I am going to go to a couple different drs to get opinions instead of just one. Thanks :)

TCA Peels - Where can I buy TCA from in the UK? Hi, I need to buy some more TCA. Does anyone know of any sites that sell TCA in the UK? Novapeels, is based in NewZealand.

Anyone ever had a tca (medium) peel...? I was wondering if it was standard for the dermatologist to recommend getting a 70% glycolic peel before the tca peel or if it basically a racket. I have read that at-home glycolic (or retin-A) products may be used for about a month before the tca peel but don't remember reading about that percentage of an in-office glycolic peel beforehand.

Have you ever had a 70% peel or know anyone who has? And how about the tca peel. Thanks!

TCA Chemical Peel? Has anyone purchased a TCA chemical peel for their face from online?

TCA chemical peel? Has anyone done a TCA chemical peel? Preferably from perfectpeelsolutions.com?? Afterward, did the redness look blotchy and were there darker blotches in areas? Does it go away when the skin finally starts to actually peel?
Is TCA the best chemical peel? I saw an article on http://www.3amed.com/chemical-peel-a.html? I read an article on and it seems like TCA is better than high concentration glycolic acid. But I would assume that glycolic acid should be a just as good skin peel.

Should I do the at home TCA Chemical Peel I bought from online? I bought 2 from online: one from Makeup Artists Choice, Inc. and one from perfectComplexion.net. I want to use one tonight but I'm scared!! Can these be made of different chemicals than what my dermatologist used? I've had them done twice at dermatologists, both with great results, but can't afford their $600 price tag (especially for 2 minutes work!) All they do is dip a Q-tip in the acid, rub in on my face for about a minute until my skin "froths" (turns white), then I rinse off with cold water in the sink and it's all over. It begins to peel a few days later and within a week I have beautiful perfect skin. Why should I pay a doctor $600 for less than 2 minute's work with a Q-tip? Does anyone see anything wrong with me doing this myself at home? It's pretty basic... guess my main concern is are these TCA acid solutions from online the same as the dermo uses? I bought one that says it's 24% and one that's 21% acid. In the doctor's office I use 30%. Ther dermatologist I went to last time actually messed up a bit. You're not supposed to put the acid around the nostrils but she didn't know that and that skin was red and in pain for several weeks (in the dip where the nostril comes out). So please don't tell me I should use the dermatologist because they're experts, because on my directions from my online peel it states "Never put solution around nostrils!"
30% tca peel I am fair skinned and I did a 30% tca peel on my face last night.? I tested an area.....and did 2 layers, it frosted and looked ok...so I went ahead.

chemical peels? I have very fair skin and have age spots, and hyperpigmentation. I have been using Platnium Skin Cares 60% glycolic peel for over a year. The results are good, but I have to use it twice a week. Anyone with info on glycolic or tca combo peels please let me know. Remember I am super fair (blonde) so I don't worry about getting too white. I have not ordered the tca combo because tca seems to be for ache scars which I dont have. I have never had achne. I am 46 so I have mature skin. What about hydroquinone 4%, I've heard that some people use that. 4% is prescription strength. 2% does not work for me. Thanks Dianne
