Hello, I had a 70% cross peeling, the scabs fell off 2 weeks ago and there were some larger scars, wide and shallow or deep, some have disappeared.

I made the mistake of not cleaning the oil from the skin well, I was unaware of that fact, I only washed it with soap, but I did not use any specific product or paid attention to leaving the skin without oil, I think that this influenced the result, I was also hydrating the skin continuously and some scabs fell off in the first week, leaving larger scars.

Do you think internal regeneration will continue as long as the scars look red, maybe 2-3 more months?

Could you tell me how to clean the skin well before peeling? I feel that cleaning it with alcohol, as I have read, is very aggressive.

After this experience, for the moment I realize that the peeling eats away at the skin, so I want to know how it works so that I can correct it later. I had thought of a 30% TCA peel on the cheeks, with the idea of evening out the skin, but first I need to know how to prepare the skin and not make mistakes, whether it is necessary to cleanse the skin the day before, or not, and Other points to keep in mind.

After my mistake, I searched for a lot of information, I went to Facebook and WhatsApp groups, and I even wrote an article on a Facebook page sharing what I know so far to help others not to make mistakes, but I still don't know how the error works. peeling is formed molecularly, what can I expect in the coming months on these scars, and how to treat the skin when it is fully regenerated from the previous peeling.

As I said, I would use low concentration peels to avoid risks or major damage in the worst case, and to be able to do it more continuously than peels with a high percentage.

Also, a few days after the scabs fell, I tried an individual microneedle technique, which tries to puncture the scar in a precise and localized way with an ultra-fine needle, the one used in mesotherapy, and I feel that it has worked, but I think that the best solution will be those low percentage peelings.

I hope you can give me some information, since you are asking, it is difficult for me to get concrete and reliable answers.

Thank you!
