After the birth of my last child I noticed the skin around my eyes, upper lip and cheeks had become blotchier by the year. There were times especially during the summer months when my face and neck took on the appearance of acne and a leathery scale look. It first seemed to be in the areas were I would remove unwanted hair such as the eyebrows and upper lip, however the older I became the more it spread out and the discolored skin became darker.

I looked into all types of therapies to lighten the darkened areas. I tried many over the counter creams, Hypoderm-abrasion, laser treatments and wore heavy sun block only to have the areas remain unchanged. It wasn't until I had the TCA Chemical Peel that the spottiness and darkened areas took on a fresher look.
The actual TCA peel treatment was briefly painful but within a few minutes the pain was gone. My skin slowly became hot pink and a little puffy for about 14 days. During this time the old skin started to peel away and my new skin looked like a baby s. I wore 70 sun block even while sitting by a window, something I strongly encourage everyone to do on a daily basis.
It has been over a year now and I still have people state how happy I look. The receptionist at the dentist office commented on how great I looked. I hadn t realized, not only did I not feel pretty with the dark marks which made me look older, it actually affected the way I expressed myself.
If you are considering a chemical peel, ask questions, do your online research, read testimonials and look at the before and after photos. My face and neck look better today than 10 years ago!
The staff at Dr. Robinson s office were kind, efficient and answered all my concerns and questions with a smile.
I continue to use the Tri-Luma Cream twice a week and I ve never felt better about the look and health of my face than I do today. The TCA Chemical Peel gets a 5 star rating from me and the long lasting results.
