Failed: Chemical Peel Procedure (TCA)-Can blemishes be removed?

Hello Doktors. Nag underwent po ako ng chemical procedure (TCA) dito sa KSA sa isang pinay dermatologist (daw kuno) she used to do it in a private commercial clinic but currently sa villa nya na lang ito gumagawa. To make the story short, di po naging successful ang treatment, after the peeling marami pang ibang cream at mga liquid na gamot ang pina-apply sa akin mukha. Mag-iisang taon na rin ito ngayon Sept 2014. Tanong ko lang po kung may pag-asa o lunas pa ba matanggal itong mga mantsa o freckles na yata ito. Please advise. Thx :)



Topic: I underwent a chemical procedure (TCA) here in Saudi Arabia. A supposedly Filipina doctor/ dermatologist (as she claims to be) treated me and said she used to do it in a private commercial clinic, but she only does it in her villa now. The procedure was unsuccesful. After the treatment, there were many more peeling and creams and liquid medicine that she asked me to apply on my face. It's been a year since then. Is there still hope or cure that these freckles or spots/blemishes/smudges can be removed or disappear?

maganda kung may picture para mas maassess natin yung extent ng damage sayo. anyway, majority naman sa scars will eventually fade. it will just take time but it will fade.

for now, makakatulong to just keep yourself hydrated and if you want you can apply moisturizer sa affected area ng face mo. Iwasan mo na muna yung mga peeling. Basta healthy living ka na muna. Drink lots of water, exercise, eat fruits and vegetables.
