The main medium depth peeling agent is the TCA peel or the ‘Chemical peel’. It is particularly suitable for older people and more severe skin problems. Compared to the other peels it can give more reliable and longer lasting results. On the down side, it can be quite painful for a few minutes whilst being applied.Afterwards the peeling process is quite a noticeable affair taking 7-10 days, during this peeling period people will need to take this time off work, however people will generally require only one peel to achieve the desired result.

Again, people with darker, olive skin may not be suitable because of increased risks of pigmentation changes.
