San Diego Phenol Peel
Phenol is the strongest of the chemical solutions and produces the deepest peel. It is used mainly to treat deep facial wrinkles, areas of blotchy or damaged skin caused by sun exposure, or pre-cancerous growths. Since phenol sometimes lightens the treated areas.
Phenol: Chemical peeling with phenol is used to improve significant actinic damage as well as moderate wrinkling of the skin. It provides a relatively deep and predictable injury to the dermis. Pure phenol is 88%. The solution most commonly used was developed by Baker and Gordon and contains 3 ml USP liquid, phenol 88%, 2-ml water; 8 drops liquid soap (Septisol); and 3 drops croton oil. It has been shown through histologic studies that the Baker/Gordon formula penetrates deeper than pure phenol. This is a serious peel, requires sedation and monitoring of your vital statistics. Unfortunately, there is usually blanching of the skin and a distinct resulting demarcation line. It is very possible that your skin will never regain its ability to tan after a phenol peel so consider this before committing to such a procedure. Also this peel is usually reserved for the face - and not the neck, arms, etc. It is reported that scarring can result when used on these non-facial areas.
