TCA or tricholoracetic acid peels go into the more superficial layers of the dermis and typically use between 20 and 35% TCA. A TCA peel can be done in layers with each layer penetrating slighty deeper.
Phenol based peels penetrate the deepest and are appropriate for certain conditions however THIS TYPE OF PEEL CAN REMOVE ALL THE PIGMENTATION IN THE SKIN.

The most important decision for you is not which peel, but which doctor. It is important for the doctor to choose the right peel or whatever treatment for your individual needs, skin type and lifestyle. Select the doctor very carefully

I had a high school crush which technically lasted for 3 years but went on for several years after he and I left the school to go off to different schools. Same thing with another highschool crush which lasted for the last 2 years of highschool, but then thought of him even on my last year in college. I guess the reason why it lasted so long and never turned into something more was because I never was a go-getter when it came to guys. Even a furtive glance on my part would make ME blush intensely. you're right, it does depend on personality. Crushed on a guy once, and got the chance to converse with him. After that one conversation, I never thought about him again.
