I prob should have phrased that better.. TCA peel is one type of chemical peel tho they all work in the same way, solution is applied to the skin then the top layers are sloughed or peeled off.. Glycolic, Lactic, TCA and phenol peels all come under the umbrella term of a ‘chemical peel’ tho obviously there are huge differences in how far they penetrate into the skin (Phenol peel is so strong it’s often administered under general anaesthesia and while the results can last 20yrs it can take ur skin months to heal from the procedure and it’s very painful, even a deep TCA peel will normally only need up to 2 weeks recovery time behind closed doors)
