How To Get Rid Of Scars Firstly I would really like to apologize for the delay in putting a new post this time. I was simply confused about the blog topic & it took me this long to finally decide. Today we’ll be discussing about post inflammatory hyperpigmentaton or PIH. Now don’t be afraid of the heavy-duty scientific term.

Your TCA (Trichloro Acetic Acid) Peeling Handbook Okay so this is the second installment on chemical peel. On the first one we discussed about common questions regarding this & debunked a few myths regarding the same.

But the truth is, I’ve found chemical peels so far are the best treatment option available for photo damaged (read ‘sun damaged’) skin & scars . It is also the best & most effective option for reducing the signs of ageing like wrinkles, fine lines etc. So let me share my experience with this. I’ve been going in for peels like real long, right from early 2014. My first chemical peel was a mundane DIY strategy to peel the skin At first when I started out on this
