Summary
This study compares two common cosmetic treatments—chemical peels using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and fractional lasers—for improving melasma, acne scars, and wrinkles. About 120 adults will receive three sessions of one treatment, and researchers will measure skin changes, satisfaction, and quality of life. The goal is to find which approach works best and is most comfortable for patients.
