Nobody should be able to purchase a strong peel on line! |

Just the thought of buying it online and doing it myself gives me shivers. I have had two TCA's peels both performed in a doctors office and was left with slight scabbing afterwards. It is seriously scary to even imagine trying to control the depth of such a peel yourself.

i disagree, nobody should pay $800 for a peel when you can pay $50 and do 20 of them if you want it! Lot of people have bad skin and cannot afford expensive treatment, if it is done following the instruction it's good. |

I paid 100 cdn for mine which is the equivalent of about 70 US and well worth the reduced risks. |

I agree Sherriin.....
Please before anyone would even consider doing a professional peel at home talk to a skincare professional face to face.

Article I found browsing this topic:http://www.changinglooks.com/Chemicalpeel.htm#
Because of the many problems involved in
handling unpredictable caustic chemicals on the face, chemosurgery should be performed only by a dermatologist (skin specialist) or a cosmetic surgeon who is well aware of the possible risks. Both, phenol and TCA, can cause complications ranging from mild discoloration to grotesque and irreversible scarring of the skin of the face and neck. Catastrophic chemical burns have occurred when this type of treatment has been performed by unqualified or inexperienced non-medical "specialists", such as so-called cosmetologists.
Before you put yourself in his hands, make sure of your doctor's training and ability to do chemosurgery; peels should be a major part of his practice, not just a sidelight. |

Wow, I can't believe that someone would be so persistant in wanting to sell peels this strength and allowing people to DIY without any trained people monitoring. That seems irresponsible to me. We have had a thread before that discussed the dangers of this and what happens when you leave it on just a tad too long (which is *so* easy to do!).
Btw, advertising is not welcome on this forum. This forum works on a member review basis. I was under the impression that you acknowledged that prieviously http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2714. Please contact me if you have any questions.

I'm such a chicken, I'm even scared to go and let a derm do a peel on me. I just hate to go through the pain and scabbing.
I know that it's probably worth it for the results when it's done right, but, like I say, I'm a chicken. Cluck-Cluck.

Ok how can you leave it on too long and cause damage??? TCA peels are self nutralizing therefore you dont even have to take it off at all. You can leave it on for 9 million hours and it will not be too long. Sounds like it isnt "so easy to leave it on to long" In fact its immposible. Also applying it to your skin is exactly what a doctor dose. So your paying this guy 750$ for 30 like an hour of his time. Talking to one face to face? Why not go talk to a new car salesman before you decide to buy a used car on your own. Of course hes going to tell you not to do it yourself. He wants you to buy it from him of course. If you are not learning disabled you can do it. If you run into complications then you definetly should see a dermatoligist. Thats what you would do if you ran into complications after a doctor applied it right? Just dont get any in your eyes. |

oh and always do a patch test to make sure you dont have adverse reactions. all the info should be included so if you can understand things well you can probably do it. If you cannot understand things well do not attempt. |

What info is included and which seller are you talking about who is selling these TCA peels? Following your logic we could do any non-surgical intervensions. In fact the thread originator also does a two day cosmetic tattoo course. Naturally if you go to one of her 'graduates' and s/he screws your face up you can go to a proper practitioner. The lovely anais is well known on micropigmentation forums for being a total charlatan. If you wanna buy a TCA peel from her, please go ahead, but don't say you weren't warned! |
