Overview
A phenol peel is an advanced deep chemical peel designed to correct severe signs of facial aging. It effectively addresses deep-set wrinkles caused by prolonged sun exposure and smoking, stubborn pigmentation, visible scars, and moderate skin laxity. Unlike superficial or medium-depth peels, the phenol peel penetrates into the deep dermal layers, where it restructures the skin from within. This profound action can restore a noticeably youthful appearance—often improving the skin by 15 to 20 years—with long-lasting results.
This treatment is designed to address deep wrinkles and fine lines, severe pigmentation caused by sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. It delivers intensive skin resurfacing that visibly improves overall tone and texture while promoting long-term rejuvenation. With its profound effect on the deeper layers of the skin, the results are lasting and transformative, often giving the face a noticeably younger appearance—by as much as 10 to 15 years.

Pre-Treatment Care
- Your skin will be evaluated, and exfoliating and depigmenting creams will be applied approximately one month before the procedure.
- A medical assessment and pre-procedure tests are conducted as per clinical guidelines.
Post-Treatment Care
- The occlusive dressing will be removed and a regenerating powder that supports deep skin repair will be applied over the next week.
- After a phenol peel, the skin’s natural healing response is fully activated, stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration at the dermal level. A recovery period of 8 to 10 days is required, during which social activities should be avoided.
- After this phase, the skin may appear pink, with redness gradually fading over the following weeks. Visible results are already impressive at this stage, with a rejuvenation effect of 10 to 15 years.
FAQs
How is a phenol peel different from other chemical peels?
A phenol peel penetrates much deeper than superficial or medium-depth peels. It works at the dermal level to restructure the skin, making it suitable for severe aging concerns and delivering longer-lasting, more dramatic results.
Who is the ideal candidate for a phenol peel?
This treatment is best suited for men and women with advanced skin aging, deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, or deep acne scars who are looking for full-face rejuvenation.
How long does recovery take after a phenol peel?
Initial recovery requires 8 to 10 days of downtime. Redness or pinkness may persist for several weeks to months, gradually fading as the skin heals and regenerates.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Visible improvement begins within the first few weeks, with results continuing to enhance as collagen and elastin regenerate. The rejuvenation effect can last for many years and is often considered long-term or definitive.
What precautions should be followed after the treatment?
After day 10, patients should use gentle emollient creams, suitable makeup, and strict sun protection. Avoiding sun exposure and following post-care instructions is essential for optimal healing and results.
