C-Man 0 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Are you confusing TCA Complex with TCA CROSS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt Pepper 0 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 ok i've got some light scarring but lots of it, and lots of very faint marks everywhere. (no actice acne) Will the 12.5% TCA do the trick or should i go higher? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nessy 0 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I just recently purchased a TCA face peel 50% from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2993686044 , for like..40 USD i am in australia so it should take about a week 2 get 2 me. I think ill dilute it to about 25%.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nessy 0 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks C-Man, coz i wouldnt have a clue about it, well until i get the instructions, but my scars r fairly red so i don't know yet. So if i put more layers on, it will peel deeper? then wats the difference if i put 25% and only 1 layer? and 10% with heaps of layers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-Man 0 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Yes, it will peel deeper. 10% or less gives you the option of stopping when you've had enough pain. ) With TCA, stronger is not necessarily better. I want to be in full control of the procedure. With 25%, you have very little control. And you won't need "heaps of layers" with 10%. Maybe 2 or 3.

C-Man 0 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Oh, and make sure you use distilled water to dilute it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nessy 0 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ohh ok. its just i didnt want to have to keep doing it because i know the days it peels will be embarressing, but thanks for ur help, oh yer i knew about the distilled water part Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tracy Share Posted March 17, 2004 loganwoodskincare.com sells a 12.5% TCA solution and Richard is wonderful to deal with and very helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-Man 0 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Loganwood is a bit expensive, in my opinion. You get .5 oz. for $49.00. You can make the stuff way cheaper by diluting the 50% solution. But I know some people would rather have someone else do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
