TCA PEELS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW| Dr Dray

[@usamakhan3553]

Can we just appreciate that Dr.Dray uploads every freakin' day!!! It's a lot of commitment to film, edit and upload 7 days a week. I love her.

[@ldbagge]

And she's probably actively working !!! I can't imagine, so much dedication! Shes amazing💯👌

[@marleneravan9927]

seriously! her commitment is impressive.

[@soccerguy325]

That's probably not a good thing, you know. Feeling pressure to churn out content every single day means the quality of the content may be compromised, and Dr. Dray may offer lower quality products or suggestions as a result. It's what happened to Dr. Oz - man had to make an hour-long show five days a week, and after a certain point most of his suggestions became trash. He ended up getting sued for it. Dr. Dray goes beyond that and posts SEVEN days a week; even worse than Oz.

[@swineinny1]

I got a superficial one in my early 20’s & it got rid of ALL red marks from teen acne on sides of face. My face didn’t peel too badly, but it def stung & was reddish. I looked slightly scary/weird for about a week, but it left me with totally clear skin. Well worth doing! Great info, Dr. Dray! 👍

[@kelseyp3163]

That is awesome

[@mirny1509]

This was really helpful for me. I recently finished accutane and have a lot of red marks that I’m trying to fade with tretinoin, and if a peel could fade these marks faster, I think I’d rather do that

The best combination my derm did on my face was: -Jessner -TCA 25% + 10% phenol -Retinoic Acid 1% leave-on mask. It's amazing, I keep going to his office every 6 weeks to get it done. It not only gets rid of acne but also the red spot that pimples leave 🥰

[@jeannewantsjustice]

I do TCA peels, on a regular basis, at home, and it's been the best thing for my skin. I have done them for years. If you end up getting with any discoloration, just go over it with a lighter tca peel until it gets erased, but I personally would rather have a slight amount of discoloration. I would exchange a slight amount of discoloration to get rid of light lines.. This is my experience, but I don't want to be responsible for you, you need to do your own research, but for myself, it's been a great thing. The discoloration came, after I did tca peels, for many years, and I don't even know for sure if the tca peel had anything to do with that. Like I said my tiny bit of discoloration doesn't even bother me. I figured out if I use a lighter tca, the discoloration will start to fade eventually.

[@jeannewantsjustice]

So now I am just starting to go over the light discoloration with a lighter peel, and will see what happens. I have already went over the slight discoloration with a lighter peel, one time already, but I feel like i might have to o it few times to see great results.

I took tca peel from platinum and it caused post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its been 2 months now since I used that and black spot does not seem to fade away. It is the worst thing I did in my life. I destroyed my own skin and I regretted it so much. It is best to get something from the ordinary or over the counter when you want to improve skin texture. Or go to the professional and have it done by them if you need stronger peel. Be careful with what you see on youtube cuz they do not have the same skin as yours and also do patch test behind your ears or on your hands before going to do it on your face. 😳😨

Anything that irritates the skin can make melasma worse, ore have post inflamatory hiperpigmetation. The ideal is to start with light peelings and see how your skin and melasma reacts and goes little by little, from my own experience.

I had CO2 laser surgery on my face and neck. I still have a light crows feet, nasal labial lines and crepey lower neck skin. Could a TCA or other kind of peel help complete what the laser started?

Thank you for explaining this. I plan to have something like that done, just made appt with pcp to get a referral. I've ALWAYS had problems with acne, and now rosacea and diet related inflammation in my skin. And I've always felt pretty hopeless about what to do. AND...now I'm 65. Wish I'd done something sooner, but it was always never convenient for down-time. Now, I'm retired, Mom passed, and no one except husband really depending on me. I'm pretty much a homebody now, and don't have to (want to) go out anymore. So, yes, I feel this is the perfect time to get something done. However, I could kick the bucket tomorrow, but oh well! I'm doing it! I will go out looking good, LOL! (I HOPE!) With regards to skin peeling during down-time, WEAR A MASK. NO ONE will question it, lol!

Does the skin obsession TCA work for the butt as well?

Can one with rosacea do such peels and would that help with rosacea?
