Question on 8% TCA peel (MUAC)

I did my first TCA peel on Sunday night. I only did my upper lip and nasalabial (sp?) lines. I'm not sure if I did enough or not as i didn't feel any burning.

I used a q-tip to apply the TCA and didn't overdo it. Since I didn't feel anything, I did do a second layer at the five minute mark and then neutralized at the 8 minute mark. I know that I'm waiting for peeling around day 4 and this is only day 2, but since I'm not seeing anything, I'm wondering if I didn't use enough? Any thoughts?

Also, if after 4 or 5 days, if I don't notice any peeling or any changes, do you think I need to wait for a full week before I do it again or can i do it sooner?

I know i can contact the CS at MUAC..they have been helpful so far. Just thought I'd throw it out on the board while I'm here.

thanks!
