well i've never done a tca peel or any type of peel, but there is a VERY reputable company that has skin peels

they have four levels of peels, 4000 being the strongest and 1000 being the weakest. if you are going to do one, i'd reccomend taking a weeks holiday to do one, they are ussually used for face, but i am sure you can use them for the body as well!
hope this works for you!

peel

Hi, I am an esthetician. I do peels in a salon. Do not do this peel by your self. Find a salon that does them, you can scar yourself. If you have any questions email me at jackiemmoz@yahoo.com
I would only suggest doing this on your face if you have bad acne / scarring because your skin is very greasy, not for dry skin. My skin's dry and before I went on the pill I had quite a lot of spots but the salicylic acid peel was fine the first time and the second time I could feel my skin burning all night (but still didn't wash it off because I thought no pain no gain). I really feel it gave me wrinkles but I asked a guy I work with and he said I already had them - great! Now I use a spot treatment with salicylic acid and can do it on the same area about 3 times before it gives me a crusty eczema patch. I think it's meant for dry skin only.
really? i have never heard of leaving it on all night before? the skin culture ones you leave on for a little while and then iyou wash them off, it's a week long procedure so that it isn't so harsh and painful.
