Hello 
I developed hypopigmentation after a strong TCA peel. I was wondering will another 15% tca peel help remove the hypopigmentation? Will the tca help my hypopigmentation or make it worse?
Thanks! |

| Here is a thought; I know you are supposed to make sure you wear a heavy sunscreen when you tca peels...or any peel for that matter. If you don't..you get the wrath of what you hoped the peel would reverse. |

Just wondering what do you mean you got hyperpigmentation afterwords?
Did you not use sunscreen like someone mentioned perhaps? |

Ooops, I read this thread all wrong 3x now!
Yes, maybe she means hyPERpigmentation. I got hypERpigmentation after dotting too much tca on a small mark on my face even after using sunscreen.
Anyway I hope she wasn't too put off by the poor welcome to eds she got here. 
I mean that post came in just before New Year's. I hope she did ok & found some help. |

| If you do mean hypOpigmentaion don't do another peel. This is damage to the skin which may be permanent. There are no treatments for it. You just need to wait it out and see if the skin repairs itself. |

HYPOpigmentation is where the melanocyte (skin cell that makes melanin that gives you color, and increases due to sun exposure to protect against UV radiation, resulting in a tan) has become damaged and no longer produces color, resulting in light or white spots. This can't be fixed, and definately not with another peel. TCA has the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin/dermis and can damaged your melanocytes.
HYPERpigmentation is where the melanocyte is overactive and dysfunctional, producing too much pigment, either from a lot of sun exposure or hormones, stress and other factors, or to an injury that has occured in the skin. |
