Phenol/ Croton Oil
Stronger than any other chemical peeling solution, Phenol produces a very deep skin peel. Latest studies show that phenol itself is actually no more than a carrier for an extremely active component found in the solution: Croton oil.
The results of this peeling treatment are long lasting ( up to 20 years later) and dramatic. Normally, the desotred end-result is reached within a single trratment.
Phenol/Croton Oil solutions can correct blotches, smooth out wrinkles (even deep ones) and eliminate precancerous growths on the surface of the skin.
When considering this treatment you may also be aware of the risk involved, which includes:
(1) Permanent skin lightening (the Croton Oil reduces the skin’s ability to produce pigments)
(2) Long healing period
(3) Life long (increased) sensitivity to sun-light.
