Do you have Biafine emulsion in Australia? I use this throughout the healing process during my peels and it works well. It isn’t as thick and greasy as Aquaphor but still does a good job of moisturiz...

I respectfully disagree with user, unbreakable1. While jumping from 10% to 25% may seem like a considerable difference, 25% tca is still considered a light peel. The only reason you may want to go fr...

TCA cross will work but it takes time. For me, it was a bit of a cumbersome journey because most of my scars looked deeper and wider before they looked better. This was a bit alarming for me and I di...

Scarring is dependent on the length of the needles, how you heal, and how long the inflammation lasts. According to Dr. Lance Setterfield, an expert on microneedling, medical microneedling will always...

Hi Alan, Hopefully I can help answer a few questions for you although chemical peels and their results differ from person to person. (1) The improvement you get from the peel should be permanent. I ...

That's great news!! I think things have definitely smoothed out after this peel. You'll likely see even more improvements in a few weeks.

I personally think your skin looks a bit better. I agree with Quadboy, usually 3-5 weeks is when I see improvement from my peels.

I can understand and empathize with your disappointment. For the downtime that chemical peels cause, you'd expect a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, this usually isn't the case from a single, light...

Looks like you had a pretty mild frost. I am much more red after my peels so you'll probably get a pretty light peel from the 25%. Seeing how you last posted over a week ago, you are probably all pee...
