Im seeing some good points by both Amanda and her dissenters. Some doctors are crappy, and you wont know the truth until you get the result. In the aftermath will you only see if a high price point is justified.
But on the other side, TCA in high concentration has a lot of risk. Even if I study up on technique and watch videos, I dont think I could trust myself. Plus, TCA you buy online is not meant for scars and most likely not of a high quality.
I thought about getting the procedure done professionally for my first time, and being mindful of the doctors technique. Therefore, if I wanted to, I could recreate it on my own with information I got from a professional. And then, I couldsave bothmoney and time.Risks from both sides of the opinion still apply though.

You know, a month ago I was thinking exactly like you regarding DIYtca cross at home. Having read commentshere, I thought I could do it myself, why not save up money for other treatments.
Then I reconsidered because I couldn't findwell-documented DIY tca cross threads here. Even Sirius Lee who seems to be the only success story hasn't posted any b/a photos. On the other hand, I could find numerous threads of home crossing gone bad, even tragic in some cases.
And as you said who knows if I will have the right technique, who knows if the acid I buy online will be of good quality, who knows if the acid won't spill on healthy skin during the acid application and cause more scarring. Too many variables. Even if I manage to do the crossing without any accidents, whatif my technique is poor and I end upwasting10 days of downtime with little or no result.
I figured that I'll pay the 135 and get it done by a scar specialist who does TCA cross regularly and has good reviews. Surely, their technique would be better than mine. Undoubtedly, it will be muchsafer.
Yes, you can do 12%, even 18% tca peel at home. Yes, you can do dermarolling, too. Those are suitable for home use.
High strength tca peels and tca cross are not! There is a reason why all derms adviseagainst it, and , as a fellow member said above, it's even illegal.

There are some, but not too many well documented tca Cross threads.
Some of them are quite old, you can also find some threads on reddit.

I wouldn't do TCA cross by myself. It's too dangerous. I'd rather reorganize priorities financially and try to get my scars treated by a qualified doctor, who has good reviews for TCA cross.
