| I personally would not use the dermaroller with TCA. Unless you are very experienced (trained) I don't think the normal person knows the signs to look for so the TCA doesn't go too deep, which I have heard can Cause more hyperpigmentation. Have you tried Obagi Nu Derm? Or just Retin A and Hydroquinone for a length of time? This is also the recommended prep for a TCA peel (RA + HQ for at least 6 weeks prior to the peel, and then afterwards, as well). You may want to just try those for a while and see? |

I looked up the original thread, but then noticed that you have already posted on it.

Like Riley, I wouldn't advise using TCA with a Dermaroller - sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
Have you investigated laser treatments? My daughter recently had one for her hyperpigmentation - she said it has improved but has not totally gone. |

Personally, I would worry about ending up in the emergency room and/or permanent disfigurement.
I would talk to a derm and do more research (I know I know, I sing the same song all the time)
