Chemical peeling is a controlled skin burn in which a specific layer of the epidermis or dermis is removed. Chemical peels are classified according to the depth of their effect:
Superficial peels. With superficial peeling, only the uppermost layer of the epidermis is removed, without affecting the lower layers. Basically, surface peels are made on the basis of AXA acids. AXA acids are alpha hydroxy acids. They have the smallest molecule, so they give a slight superficial burn.
Medium peels. The stratum corneum is removed up to the papillary dermis. These peels include TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels, Jesner's solution, lactic acid peels, mandelic acid peels, yellow peels.
Also, you need to know that after TCA peeling it is almost impossible to get pregnant within 2 years, since TCA has a strong effect on endocrinology and sex hormones.
