When it comes to achieving dramatic skin rejuvenation, few treatments compare to the transformative results of a Phenol Peel. At Gayner Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Scott Gayner offers this advanced resurfacing treatment for patients seeking to renew and restore their skin’s natural beauty with precision and care.
What Is a Phenol Peel?
A Phenol Peel is a deep chemical peel designed to treat significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, uneven texture, and certain types of scarring. This treatment penetrates the skin more deeply than lighter peels, stimulating new collagen formation and revealing smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
Unlike lighter peels that may require a series of treatments, a Phenol Peel offers dramatic, long-lasting results in just one session.
Ideal Candidates
This peel is best suited for individuals who:
-
Have deep facial wrinkles or creases, especially around the mouth and eyes.
-
Want to address sun damage, age spots, or blotchy pigmentation.
-
Desire significant skin rejuvenation rather than a subtle refresh.
-
Are ready for some downtime in exchange for powerful, lasting results.
During your consultation, Dr. Gayner will assess your skin type, tone, and goals to determine if a Phenol Peel or another treatment may be best suited for you.
What to Expect from the Procedure
A Phenol Peel is performed with precision and care to ensure both safety and comfort. The solution is applied to the skin in a controlled manner, targeting specific areas that require rejuvenation. Because of its depth, the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation for patient comfort.
After treatment, the outer layers of the skin gradually peel away, revealing fresh, radiant skin beneath. Most patients can expect visible improvement in tone, texture, and tightness after healing.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a Phenol Peel takes longer than lighter peels, typically 7–14 days of initial healing, with continued refinement over several weeks. Redness can persist for a few months, but makeup can often be worn after the first few weeks to blend the skin tone as it normalizes.
Once healing is complete, the results are nothing short of remarkable:
-
Dramatically smoother, more even skin
-
Reduction in deep lines and wrinkles
-
A youthful, luminous complexion that can last for years with proper sun protection and skincare maintenance.
