AHA is used for delicate peeling, it gives you smooth and shine skin, and it also treats delicate wrinkles, acne scars and pigmentation. Several treatments usually required on weekly bases. The solution can also be incorporated into cr?mes or facial wash and can be used on daily bases.
TCA is used for intermediate peeling. It removes wrinkles and superficial skin defects and pigmentation. Usually more then one treatment required and it has longer healing times then AHA. It can be used in whole body parts.
Phenol is the most powerful solution, which is used for deep peeling. It removes deep wrinkles, pre malignant conditions and skin defects due to sun exposure; it also causes brighter skin color. It can be used only in the face area.
It is recommended to use several creams before the peeling to get better results. Retin-A thinners the upper layers of the skin and hydroquinone which bleaches the skin.

- Abstract The infragluteal fold is one of the major concerns in reshaping of the gluteal region. This study reevaluated the fold both
histologically and anatomically. Five fixed cadavers were used. The infragluteal fold on the right side was explored by dissection,
whereas the infragluteal fold of the contralateral side was removed en bloc. Tissue samples (6 cm long × 2 mm thick) were
taken at three points from each fold bloc: the most medial point, the middle point, and the most lateral end of the sulcus.
Anatomic dissections and histologic examinations showed that the infragluteal fold consists of strong fibrous bands extending
from the dermis of the medial one-third of the fold to the ramus of the ischium and sacrum, forming the letter J. The infragluteal
fold, which attaches to both the ischium and the sacrum in a continuous fashion, is an anatomic structure in its medial part
and only a crease laterally.
