Hi i am Beauty Therapist from England and have been performing glycolic peels for the past 3 years. As you say at the top of the page you believe and were told? that you had a 40% glycolic peel. Your dermatologist is correct it look's like the Tri-chloroacetic Acid (TCA) was used on you and this is under the list of 'medium' peels but is said to really improve fine lines but you should of been informed what they were using before the procedure. I have never personally informed clients to take medication after a peel if you were? But as i am not a doctor and only perform 30% facial peels it maybe different! Best of luck!

Hi Im a Beauty Therapist also and have been using glycolic peels for the past 3 years and i have never had a complaint about them. It is really the company to inform you of the pro's and con's, we all have to be realistic with product's and treatments. Beauty Therapist's are ONLY aloud to perform peel's up to 30% acid- that is the law in the UK may be different somewhere else! Glycolic is said to help fine lines and dry/mature skin and lactic i said to be best for problematic skin. You have just got to make sure all your therapist's are confident and know how to perform the consultation perfectly as this is where things can be forgotten and problems can occur for you and your business! Best of luck!
