This peel is also used to address blemishes like pigmentation and wrinkles on your skin but to a deeper extent. The chemical that is used is trichloracetic acid (TCA) and is often used for face, neck, and other body parts where your skin is damaged. TCA provides a moderate bleaching effect that can be safely used for smaller areas like around the eyes and mouth. Multiple sessions can be used if your doctor feels the need. The same chemical with higher concentration can be used for deep peel as well. Generally, a numbing agent is used to reduce discomfort during the procedure and protective ointment is used after the peel to soothe the treatment site.
