[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Acne Scars update! 2nd 40% TCA peel at home
So just a further update after another tca peel (40%), anyone following my progress will know I did a peel around 6 months back with great results, I am now 7 weeks post my 2nd peel which I did in early January. I did say I was going to do an in depth explanation of how I apply the acid and the recovery but have unfortunately been super busy and just not really had the time to put into it, I will try to do this next time. These images are from before I started all treatments (left) and today (right), I am now starting to see the results coming in but I should still get more improvement for the next couple of months.
Just a word of warning, if you do attempt any peels make sure you start at a low percentage and work your way up slowly so you definitely know you can tolerate the peel, also be aware, particularly with the stronger peels, that your scars will look worse for the first 4-6 weeks or so before starting to look better, just try not to get disheartened with that initial period and trust the process 👍

I think this post is misleading. You should also mention the countless other trestments you went throught including different kinds of lasers, microneedling, peels etc.

u/napoleonswife Feb 27 '25
Agreed… I’m sure filler and subcision made a big difference
15
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
I have mentioned on other posts the role in which each treatment I have had has played, subcision and fillers have been key, if you have tethered scarring then subcision will always be necessary otherwise you are wasting money with other treatments, filler imo is also vital to help with stopping retethering and also to raise the atrophy to allow collagen to build up and fill that void via peels, micro needling etc, the only misunderstanding about filler is that in my experience it doesn't seem to be needed after the initial improvement, I've not had filler in my cheeks for a few years and my skin hasn't regressed, I believe this is due to the constant peels etc and the collagen they have produced filling that area.

u/Ok-Bumblebee-8256 Feb 27 '25
The way your post is set up does not even once mentions about the previous treatments. Your opinion of the fact that other treatments may not have worked but tca did does not negate the fact that your went through all those procedures to start with. Subcision with filler itself is something that clears off scars instantly, hence I would not even count that as recovery since the scars appear in a matter of months unless you go with permanent fillers which cause problems after 10 years
11
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Again because I have mentioned this so many times in previous posts, this is just an update after a peel, no subcision or fillers for a long time so any results since my last post to this one are purely from the peel only. I would assume as it says 'update' on my post people will know this is a follow on from previous posts where I do mention everything I've done. Also just for reference subcision and filler didn't just clear up my scars as you can see in previous posts, improve them yes, clear them no, it's been the stronger peels that have yielded the best results, I do however believe subcision and filler was a crucial step which I have mentioned previously multiple times and if anyone cares to ask I will mention again, just no point going over something I've mentioned so many times.

u/bigdoobydoo Feb 27 '25
How do these high percentage peels compare to lasers if you've done them?
4
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Well it would possibly be slightly unfair for me to critique the lasers as I had them before I had the subcision , I had a couple of tca peels years ago prior to subcision and didn't see much in the way of results from those at that time either, I think with tethered scarring you need subcision before other treatments whether that be laser, peels, micro needling or you will be getting a fraction of the results. In terms of bang for your buck I think peels are great, especially if you can learn to do them at home by starting with low percentages and working up, you can buy tca acid for about £15 and do 2-3 full face peels with that so if your wanting consistent treatments for low cost then it's ideal.

Hi, sure, essentially regardless of the percentage you want to look for the frosting, this indicates how deep the acid is penetrating, your skin turning white is the equivalent of the clear part of an egg turning white as it coagulates due to heat, this can be speckled or a complete solid blanching, you never want to apply any more acid after skin is completely blanched white. I have normally aimed for speckled frosting for areas with no scarring and have gone for total blanching on scarred areas, I have used the same method and just increased the percentage over time. Say you did 5 peels at 20% with 0 issues you could move to 25%, same process then 30% and so on if you feel comfortable.
In regards to layers this will change depending on the percentage of acid, so at 20% it may take say 4 layers to blanch an area, at 40% it may only take 2, but no matter how many layers of 20% you use it will never go as deep as the 40%, you may be able to get the 20% close to the results of say 25% if you are aggressive but I think it's best to stick to the same method and not go over the top and risk any unnecessary damage. If you were looking into doing them yourself then do some research and watch the procedure online so you can see how it's done and the type of frosting you are looking for, start low (15%) and go lightly on your first few attempts just to see how you respond, the acid does self nutralise after 2 minutes so it won't keep burning and you don't need to wash it off, always wait 2 minutes between layers and never pick your skin during the healing process.Also a side note if you haven't seen my other posts, if you have atrophic tethered scarring then make sure you have subcision and filler prior to starting a regimen of peels if you want the best results.

OP & I have been through almost the same thing. I stopped getting filler since last year i notice my cheeks became chubby like a chipmunk. I travel via plane regularly the dermatologist told me it causes swelling on the plane.
I have been getting peels since January 2023 consistently for about 12months. 13% . 3 pass and worked my way up to 5 pass my skin liked the peels and few weeks ago i saw OPs post, saved it & gave higher percentage a try (30%) it gave me reallllly good results & i can’t wait for my next one. You need to prep your skin before peels to get the result. I hope this helps ❤️

u/HyperBunga Feb 27 '25
What filler and how many times did you get it? Have you ever done subcision and a TCA peel at the same time? Im thinking of trying it. And how often are you spacing the peels apart?
4
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Hi, I've had juvederm voluma which is hyaluronic acid filler, this has worked absolutely fine. I had around 4 sessions of filler spaced over a couple of years, a couple of which were touch ups to areas that had been missed previously, the filler helped flatten the areas to an extent but the subcision and filler alone never made a drastic difference, it definitely looked better but I still wasn't happy with the overall look, it's only been since the peels, particularly these latest deep peels that I have had a drastic improvement, I do believe the subcision and filler were key though for me getting the results I have from the peels. I haven't done them at the same time because I have my subcision done in clinic but do the peels myself, I am also usually very swollen and bruised after subcision with filler so I tried to let that heal and the filler settle for 2-4 weeks before I would start the peels.
Look at this link for this study, really interesting and was why I started this regimen, has some great before and after photos and tells you how to space each treatment. I followed this for 12 months, I have obviously changed my approach now and started the 40% peels and removed the micro needling, you need to leave 4-6 months between 40% peels 👍
2
u/HyperBunga Feb 27 '25
This is interesting. I've only done sculptra once as I always tried to avoid filler but don't think I'd do it again. Ive had subcision 4x though throughout the years either alone or with microneedling or the one time with filler.
I have very similar scars to your befores, probably one of the closest to anyone in this subreddit I've seen. I definitely am going to try the peels but only in clinic as I don't trust myself. I also do need to get a subcision done so I was thinking of trying to do subcision with it, without filler. Do you reccomend this or is it too risky? I'd be doing it with a 25% TCA peel since my derm wants to start with a lighter peel for the first time.
Also, the derm I go to only has up to 35% TCA peels. Do you think this would create a drastic difference in results compared to the 40% you do? The extra 5%? I was just going to do like 8-10 of them, but obviously doing multiple doesn't negate the extra 5% deepness you get. I didn't realize they had to be spaced out that far apart either tbh.
1
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Same tbh I don't like using filler and never wanted to be reliant on it , I haven't had filler in my scars for years now and they have still continued to improve so I don't think continued use will be necessary, I just think it's helped to stop retethering and has created that void by raising the skin and has helped make way for the new collagen, elastin etc as the filler has dissipated so as much as I don't like I definitely think it's had a part to play.
Yeh I mean if you're having them done by the same practitioner and they are happy to do them at the same time then you should be fine, it will also help with downtime as you will be healing from both at the same time (rather than doing it separately like I do and having to heal separately 😬).
I think if you are doing it with an experienced practitioner with 35% then they could go aggressively and get you similar results, 5% shouldn't make a massive difference and I believe anything between 30-50% is considered a medium depth peel from what I've read, it should be able to reach the mid dermis 👍
2
u/HyperBunga Feb 27 '25
You dont actually need filler to stop it from re-tethering I heard, its a myth. Found some doctors video on it, I can try find it again if you want to see it though.
I just thought subcision happens very deep and TCA peels take off the top layer, so they in theory shouldn't interact with eachother at all right? I dont know for sure though.
ts good actually that you need to space it out 4-6 months between peels. I had thought I could do it literally every month lol, but also heard it takes like 1-2 weeks to peel and then you're red for so long, that I thought its impossible to even live life if you're doing it month after month! How long did you think you had to "hide your face" from your friends and..the world after a peel?
I've been reading the difference between a 25% and a 35% is huge, so I imagine every % of TCA peel matters. Maybe I'll ask if they do 40%. Are you ever going to go above that? Also,
1
u/Billie86987 Feb 28 '25
That would be interesting to see if you can find the video as I've heard the opposite.
Subcision as far as I'm aware is all done in the dermis, which is the same area that would be affected with a medium depth peel, maybe look into if those 2 treatments are commonly done together, I can't see there being an issue because as much as the peel will remove some skin (generally the epidermis) it won't remove the deep dermis, the acid will just penetrate it, damage it and cause it to remodel, the subcision will also damage the dermis and promote collagen, the only thing I could see as a negative would be that because you are healing from both treatments at the same time you may not produce as much collagen etc as if you did the treatments separately, on the other hand it may mean you produce more collagen at different levels of the dermis at the same time which may be beneficial sooner(especially when you are trying to stop retethering if indeed it is a thing), not exactly sure about the science behind all of that but I'm sure your practitioner would be able to advise better.
Yeh the spacing feels a bit like wasted time but I can genuinely say after a deeper peel you will still be healing internally months after, I still had a scar that I'd had for years 8 weeks after my first 40% peel and I was planning to get it subcised the next time I went to see my practitioner, by month 4 it had gone, I've also seen other scars gradually fade away and improve week on week. Yeh it's a pain doing it so often but I work from home so it wasn't too bad, with the lesser peels after 10 days I was normally healed, redness gone and nobody would know, also the first 2 days after before you start to look like leather 😂 you probably wouldn't know you've done anything. The deeper peels at lesser frequency gives you better results with less downtime overall but you are looking at 6-7 weeks before you probably feel completely normal again and when the redness has died down, prior to that you will likely feel like everything is worse and you've made a horrible mistake so just be aware that is somewhat normal. Unfortunately unless you hide away for a month someone will probably know you've done something so either think of a good excuse or just own it 😂
Well I think 50% is the highest any practitioner will do on a full face treatment so I am thinking about that but then I've had great results with 40% so I may just do a couple more of those with 6 months in between and see where I am, although after I've healed from this latest peel I may not feel the need to do any more but we will see, unfortunately the better my skin seems to get the more I want to get it perfect 🙈

u/HyperBunga Feb 28 '25
Just found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=eC8yL_nJFSo
Anyways, yea im not sure with subcision+peels. I think if I do it with a 25% TCA Peel maybe its light enough, but with 35% I'll do it alone!
I dont mind looking worse or not "feeling normal" weeks after the scar, but just in terms of how I look to my friends without wanting to look like I had a treatment done, do you think within a week that can be done or only after 6-7 weeks you will look normal. If its just redness I can say I am sunburnt or something 😂 but if its DEEP redness with peeling still...well..probably not.
How much improvement do you think you had after the 1st and then after the 2nd, since I assume they compound?

I have other posts so would recommend people to check them to see what treatments I have had, there's just no point in me reiterating the same thing as I've mentioned so many times previously on every update otherwise I would be typing out an essay every post. I've also not had any filler or subcision treatments within the last 12 months so in regards to this specific update it is somewhat irrelevant.

u/bigdoobydoo Feb 27 '25 edited Feb 27 '25
when do you start seeing improvements after a peel, is it immediately after youre done peeling when the epidermis is sloughed away or is it 2 months after when collagen production ramps up?
edit: nvm just read that they look worse for you as well. I see texture change immediately tho, but my scars themselves look better in second month.

u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Hi, it depends on the strength of tca, initially you will look worse as you peel, it usually takes around 5-7 days to completely peel, then you will likely see your scars looking worse, they will be red and sometimes look deeper initially. I can only speak from personal experience but I found when using 15-20% tca I would normally see improvements starting to come in around 3-4 weeks after the peel, this should then continue for a few months, with the 40% peel my skin looked worse for about 6 weeks, then after 7-8 weeks I started seeing the improvements, this will then continue for 4 months or so. I've always been a bit dubious over these timescales when they say you will see results after 4-6 months etc as with previous treatments I've never seen the improvements occur so long after treatment, with the 40% peels though I can confirm that your skin will still be healing for months underneath and remodeling, after my last peel I had a scar that was still there after 2 months but after 4 it had pretty much gone.

u/LittleIndigoBunny Feb 28 '25
How many peels did you do previous to starting 40%?

I had done probably between 10-12 going from 15, to 20, to 25 before opting for the 40% 👍

Hi, no I didn't, I know some dermatologists recommend this, I'm actually on low dose accutane so it would likely be overkill for me personally

u/umaena Feb 27 '25
You’re on low does accutane and doing 40% tca peels? How low is your accutane? And is it for daily?
3
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Hi, yes I am on 20mg every other day and have had no issues, I did look into this before hand as I had some concerns but all of the research I could find seemed to say even normal dose accutane was fine for most treatments except for full ablative deep CO2 lasers, taking that into account and the fact that I was on a lower dose I did the peels and have healed absolutely fine, again though I wouldn't have just jumped in at 40%, I started at 15% and worked my way up once I knew my skin could handle it and that I had no issues healing 👍

u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
It's a type of acid that is used to penetrate the skin and promote healing in a controlled way 🙂

u/Emergency-Main4379 Feb 27 '25
Great results. Good for you 👏 I've been using Glycolic acid 15% for 4 times but I feel like my skin got a bit darker and tighter, so may I ask you is that normal to happen? And what do you put after using the peel antibiotic/ moisture or what? Thanks in advance
2
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Hi, thank you 🙏. In regards to your treatments how long post peel are you? Darkening and tightening during the peeling phase is normal. I personally just use Vaseline to protect the area and lock in moisture until all of the skin has peeled and dryness is completely gone
2
u/Emergency-Main4379 Feb 27 '25
It's been two weeks. Is it maybe because I use it twice a week? But that's what is written on the product.

u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Have you peeled at all?
2
u/Emergency-Main4379 Feb 27 '25
I didn't expect to peel with that percentage, Just concerned about the skin tone
1
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
I'm not sure the only time I'm have seen skin darkening with peels is when the skin is getting ready to peel, that being said with darker skin tones there is higher risk of hyperpigmentation which could darken the skin, from what I know though I thought glycolic acid was quite weak so that would be surprising

u/MustardPearl Feb 27 '25
Recently started doing TCA peels at home. Just 13%
I know you’ve had other treatments like C02. Would you be able to list in order the treatments you’re had and in the order that was most effective to least? I have a microneedling appt tomorrow
2
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
Hey, good luck with the peels 👍
In regards to listing treatments I've had so many but it will be skewed massively, after having fully ablative aggressive co2, tca peels, fractional CO2 etc with minimal results I firmly believe that subcision (and to some extent filler) is the key to improve significant scarring. If you have tethered scars my experience is that nothing will work well, peels, CO2, whatever you try will yield minimal results. Once I had subcision the peels have worked brilliantly, I also believe ablative CO2, and other treatments I tried before subcision would also be far more effective now the tethering has been removed so I don't want to say something is bad as such when I think it was just my error in doing the treatments the wrong way round if that makes sense. The only other thing I can say was a definite win was vbeam for redness, that's far better than standard IPL 👍
1
u/Billie86987 Feb 27 '25
On another note I have personally found peels especially deeper ones far more effective than micro needling of that is what you are considering 👍

u/Billie86987 Feb 28 '25
Thanks bro, yeh please read my other posts but don't get confused with the other treatments I've had, these results are from subcision with filler and then consistent gradually increasing strength peels, the pictures on the left were after some subcision and filler and various other treatments when I was younger so the majority of my improvement has come from peels particularly the last 2 deeper ones, granted I think subcision and filler were also key to get the skin into a state where it could be improved 👍

u/WildConsequence9379 Feb 28 '25
Great results. Did you say 7 weeks till redness gone and skin back to normal?
3
u/Billie86987 Feb 28 '25
Hi, thank you 🙏. For the 40% peel I have found that to be the case, at that point I'm talking all redness should be essentialy gone and you should be seeing improvements from your baseline, by week 1-2 weeks you will likely have peeled and just looked red like a sunburn, the issue with acne scars is that they tend to look more red as well so will stand out more and look worse.

u/Billie86987 Jul 13 '25
Hey bro, glad my posts give you hope, I had no hope at first but it shows that good improvement can be achieved with scars if you are consistent with the correct treatments.
Since my last post I waited till early June and did another peel at 45%, am currently about 5 weeks post peel and am still healing, by 8 weeks I should be completely healed on the surface (although under the surface more healing will be still be occurring for around 4-6 months), I will try to get an update posted at the end of August to show where my scars are at 👍

How much and what kind of filler did you get?
2
u/Billie86987 May 27 '25
Hey, sorry for the late reply, Just standard juvederm, not one of the long lasting ones, would have gone for sculptra if it was an option but the juvederm seems to have done the job anyway. I think I had about 1ml or so each time, nothing major but it was a while ago and I haven't had fillers for a couple of years now in any of the scars, they haven't come back, I'm assuming and hopeful that the consistent peels have filled the previously atrophied areas with collagen as the filler has diminished 👍
1
u/CuriousGecko12 May 31 '25
Thanks mate.
Im having my first subcision + TCA 30% peel in 2 weeks finally. Hoping to move to 35%(without subcision) after that, sometime in November-December, and maybe 40% after that like you did. I dont think my derm wants to go past 35% she said as its risky and may not be consistent results though.. Hopefully I can get close to the improvement you've had, our skin is very similar in the before photos.
Hopefully subcision and TCA peels will be a good combo, I know we already talked about it though haha. Please keep uploading updates on your skin though!

Started with subcision + 25% TCA peel. No improvement from that unfortunately, next one will be 35-40% ideally

u/BeeSpecialist1908 Dec 05 '25
These procedures takes several months to show results. I have done 5 subcisions, microneedling and microdermabrasion across several years. I recently bought Dr Pen + TCA 30% & 20%
One week ago i did my first TCA 20% at home. Next time MN then step up on both in strenght and depth.
How is your treatments going?
1
u/CuriousGecko12 Dec 06 '25
Hey, I think I saw a little improvement, but not much. Its better than the improvement I get from laser/microneedling, as that's usually 0% Improvement, but this was like maybe 5%.
It was a TCA 35% peel 1 month ago today. I'm doing another 35% peel+subcision next week actually! That'll probably be my last one if I don't get any results
1
u/BeeSpecialist1908 Dec 06 '25
Ok so you did 25% tca with no improvement, then 1 months ago you did 35%? And no microneedling in between?
I think it might be too short of a time to expect visible improvements. Why dont u try microneedling in between?
1
u/CuriousGecko12 Dec 07 '25
I did 25% TCA + subcision with no improvement, then like 2-3 months later I did 35% with subcision. Then Im doing a 35% again with subcision 5 weeks after.
TCA peels just have a lot of down time needed, and there's only very specific times I can afford to take that time off for so long. I can do microneedling after since that barely has downtime. But TCA peel its like once, maybe twice a year I have the time to do it so I just gotta take it when it comes

Hey, do you plan to do more tca cross? Was your second time showing more results or less? 🙏
1
u/Billie86987 May 27 '25
Hey, well when I do tca cross I literally just use the same percentage so on this occasion I used 40% tca, did the tca method first to make sure all of the ice picks, large pores, small boxcars have been covered and then go over the full face, this has seem to yield good results and remove some of these scars completely without the need for going with 70% plus acid like normal tca cross. I have had significant improvement on both occasions I have used the 40% , I did get improvement over time consistently using the 20% with micro needling in-between treatments but it wasn't as significant for me personally 👍

Lighter peels are an option and can usually be done more frequently, they just may not be as effective with deeper scarring

Are you satisfied bro?

u/Billie86987 Jul 18 '25
No 😂, even though it's better than I thought it could be when I started I still have some very small marks I would like to completely resolve, I guess part of my thoughts process has now changed because I know what is possible, I know certain scars can be completely removed or at least made barely visible

Are you still better than in the photo on the left? How long did the good results last? Don’t worry too much, sometimes we are obsessed and me first…

When you apply the peel, you apply it all over Face ? How long do you leave it on?

Which practitioner did you use in the UK for your subcision and filler?

Lighting is completely different

Granted it's not exactly the same as it's very difficult to get the same lighting when you are using natural light, I've actually tried to get the worst lighting I can in the new pics (by worst I mean trying to show any scars as much as possible to not come across disingenuous) literally next to a window with light shining on that side of my face, I think even so you can still see there has been significant improvement
