What is a phenol peel?
The phenol peel is the strongest chemical peel and is able to produce very dramatic and long-lasting results. Phenol peels can treat coarse facial wrinkles, blotchy or sun-damaged skin and pre-cancerous growths. The recovery tends to be longer and more extensive. In addition, the phenol peel is not recommended for darker-skinned individuals because the skin often lightens with treatment.
