Acne, pimples, sunspots, age spots, wrinkles and other blemishes
are skin conditions that plague people the world over. The
global beauty industry already makes billions of dollars every
year as women everywhere embark on quests to preserve (or

the build up of skin-strengthening collagen and elastin.

dermabrasion can cause further damage, as it can bruise the skin
and break some small blood vessels. Those who wish to treat
their acne and other skin problems with TCA can control the
strength of the treatment by starting off with a weak solution
and gradually working their way up to more concentrated mixtures
as needed.
