Hi there, I don’t currently have a platinum cleanser to use. Could you recommend a Cerave or Cetaphil cleanser that would be okay to use Pre-peel? Previously when I received in- office peels I was told to apply a gentle cleaner (cerave hydrating cleanser or something gentle) a week prior to my peel. Outside of that time I use a cleanser prescribed by my dermatologist which is Sulfacetamide Sulfer. Peel Uni. says not to apply something hydrating directly before a peel. However, I also wouldn’t want to apply my other sulfur cleanser which may over exfoliate my skin right before. Is there a third cleanser I should get to wash with directly before a peel? If so, could you recommend something I could get at Target or a basic drugstore? I would be prefer this because as I would only use the cleanser maybe 1x per week or once a month depending on my peel series. Thank you so much!!

I have a lot of dark freckles (I am a red head) do I need to use a hyperpigmentation serum before I apply TCA?
How close to the eye & lid can I go usingTCA20% on a q tip?
Makkah Ahmed 4:02
Hello everyone thank you for being always here…I’ve made spot treatment 3 months ago and after that I made combo peel of jessner,TCA 20 and dream peel all over my face for the other three months.Now after the last two peels, I noticed some white patches around most of the areas that were made with spot treatment.They are (hypopigmented) so I need to know what should I do now?should I stop doing peels or continue?and should I continue use fade bright to prepare my skin or not as it is a melanin inhibitor so It will make the hypopigmented areas worse,right?thanks in advance.

Can continous use of lactic acid help to reduce wrinkles for real??
ADAUGO 8:57
I am using platinum skincare lactic acid 50%,been using it since late January,was wondering how long until I start seeing my dark spots lighten up??? I am using it majorly for hyperpigmentation… Thank you…
Lisa 9:43
Recently did a 20% TCA peel with 2 layers. I had very light flaking, no peeling just dry flakes. I prepped the skin before, used alcohol immediately before applying. What am I doing wrong and do I need to wait the 3 to 4 weeks before I do a second peel? It has been two weeks on 3 /24 since the peel
Theresa 11:28
Doing peels with Jessie’s and tca 20. 1 jessner layer and 4 tca 20%. Then I top it with dream peel. Peel works but my melasma and hyperpigmenation always comes right back. I have been doing a peel on face, neck, and chest ever month. Looks great when skin peels off. Then melasma and hyperpigmentation come back before I can even do my next peel…? Derm. Prescribed a Serum with 12% hydroquinone/6% kojic acid/2%niacinamide/1% ascorbic acid to use every night for 8 weeks.
When can I put that on? Can I put that on leading up to peel and the night of the peel? Then stay totally inside until the baby face come back? Don’t want to waste prescription on dead crusty skin that will be peeling off…so I will not put my prescription on then. Would that be o.k? I’m frustrated with the dark spots in the same places coming back and the hyperpigmentation. Please help.
Thank you,
Theresa
Will try to forward pictures…but not sure where?

Can a mature skin of an 80 yr. old undergo TCA 13% peels for age spots?
Andie 17:11
I did a Tca 20 peel no frosting with 1 layer. I dipped a q-tip in the Tca to spot treat it immediately frosted , swelled, and burned. Leaving pink skin once it was healing. It is still a little pink a month later. . That is the only area that peeled. Next month I did one layer of jessners then one layer of Tca 13. I did not peel at all. Why would I not be peeling after these and why did I react so poorly with the spot treatment?
Sharon 19:17
Hi, I’ve been spot treating age spots on my legs and arms with TCA 30, two layers. I’m not seeing the results I hoped for. I’m applying the acid w a q tip and just finished my third treatment. Should I alternate w another acid or combine acids, more applications…please help!!!

Hi. I am 50 Years old and have a very smoothe complexion with very few wrinkles. My age starts to show on my neck and chest. I have some deep grooves in my neck and my chest has a lot of redness and capillaries, I believe from past sun damage. I think my chest is a little sensitive to the Retinol. What else can I use for my neck and chest to fight these signs of aging?
Twinkle 29:59
My arms, and neck have became very dark as comared to my rest of the body and face.

When applying TCA to my arms & hands it is usual for the peeling process to take 2 – 2.5 weeks. Because the full process takes longer than it does for my face (1 week) should I wait a longer period of time between treatments? I usually apply 2 layers of TCA13 to my face & 2 layers of TCA20 to my arms & hands. I usually do TCA treatments about every 6 to 8 weeks.
Thanks in advance

Leah 36:36
I would like to know exactly what I need to do a peel on my legs for crepey sun damaged skin.
julie 37:55
I’ve been doing TCA 20 for a while (4 layers) and now apply dream peel as last layer. My question is, if I wait 15 minutes vs 5 minutes in between each layer, will the peeling be more intense/deep? (Don’t want to extend time if waiting longer between layers doesn’t really do anything)
Cara 39:10

Do you think it’s safe to cosmetic micro needle at .25mm the Regenerate Serum? I applied a TCA13% – 3layers over 2 weeks ago & am fully “peeled” now.
Theresa 49:23
Dermatologist just gave me a new compound that has 12% hydroquinone, 6% kojic acid, 2% niacinamide, and 1 % vitamin c. I am supposed to use a thin layer every night for eight weeks. I have hyperpigmentation and melasma. The pharmacist said I could also use tretinoin with this compound.
How should I fit this into my peeling process?
Marti 50:41

Is there any peel or solution to fading micro needling ink on brows?
Madeline 52:56
I am 26 years old, and due to my decision to get off birth control about 1.5 years ago (the hormones were causing melasma around my eyes) I have been struggling with random breakouts and hyperpigmentation from old breakouts. Are Platinum Skin Care peels be a good option to help me with the hyperpigmentation? If so, where should I being and should I be concerned they will aggravate my skin and cause more breakouts?
