I am using a TCA peel to remove tattoos that I got when I was younger?


Has anyone here used it and how many treatments did it take.I had my first peel 2 weeks ago still have not heeled the tattoos have faded and know signs of scaring ,still in a liitle dicomfort .

Depends - Is this the take home version TCA Peel or a full strength doctors office version? They are two totally different strengths of the acid involved.

Also, depends upon the age of the tat, the persons age, and the quality of the tat. High quality tats are done deeper into the skin thus harder to remove.

It takes 3-4 weeks for all the pain/discomfort to go away and the peeling skin will depended upon how many layers of skin was killed off, etc.

Good luck!
