Anti Aging Skin Tips

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 :)

1. Your dermatologist should assess your skin type and you shouldn't be left with questions, especially for internet people. Shop around for a good dermatologist. Your face is your fortune, as the old adage goes. Skin peels are quite harsh (even medium ones). I'd look for something less harsh... microdermabrasion might be a milder option. Sometimes peels leave skin rubbery-looking. 35 isn't too old, peels are used mostly for bad acne or for really old skin.
