I got mine from OSS......I started out slow because I was a little scared....So far I've done four 30% glycolic's and one 85% lactic for a quich refresher and about 12 days ago I did my first TCA 15%.......It went pretty well......
I'm older so I was concerned about lines and texture and tone ....So far the tone of my skin has improved a lot!...It was very dull and drab lookng and it's now fresh looking again, I'm pleased......So far the lines under the eyes are still there but I just know I will see improvements after a few ore TCA's....
I can't do another TCA for 6 weeks I have to let the skin rest and do a totally cell turnover and it takes that long or I can thin my skin....I can't wait!
I hope your pleased too, but I've been told to not expect a "WOW!" moment the results are cumulative and it takes a series to see sutle results....Good luck with yours! |
ROTFL....I was hesitant to say also for the very same reasons. You know, "Oh be careful, those are dangerous!",.... or.... "my friend did one and had to go to the hospital" - those kind of comments. While I agree, not everyone may want to go this route, I was willing to try but didn't want to be ridiculed for my decision.
I had been using retin-a prior to this peel so I didn't use any of the other peels before the TCA. I was tempted to start with an 18% peel, but decided to be cautious and started with the 15% also. And like you, the tone and even texture of the new skin is much better already. With the improvement I've had thus far, I'm expecting even better results as I go through this.
We'll have to stay in touch and compare our results. Good luck to you too!
