What is a Phenol Peel?
A Phenol Peel is a highly potent chemical peel that uses phenol (carbolic acid) to deeply exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. Known for its intensive results, this peel penetrates deeply to remove damaged skin layers, effectively smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Due to its strength, a Phenol Peel is often considered one of the most effective chemical peels available.

Dr. Wilson called me personally after the surgery to see how I was doing! Who does that today? Anytime I needed to speak to someone in his office they called me back within minutes! His surgical skills are meticulous and he is a perfectionist! I couldn’t be happier.

Why Choose a Phenol Peel?
Phenol peels are especially beneficial for those with:
- Deep wrinkles and lines, particularly around the mouth and eyes
- Severe sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne scars and other skin imperfections
By stimulating collagen production, a Phenol Peel helps tighten and firm the skin, delivering a smoother, more radiant complexion. After just one treatment, many clients report significant improvements, experiencing skin that looks younger, healthier, and visibly rejuvenated.
Preparing for a Phenol Peel
Preparing your skin for a Phenol Peel is essential for optimal results. Clients may begin with a regimen of topical agents, like retinoids, months before the procedure. These treatments prepare the skin, helping to maximize the peel’s effectiveness and minimize potential risks. At AW Plastic Surgery, we guide each patient through a customized preparation plan tailored to their skin type and goals.
What to Expect During the Phenol Peel Procedure
Performed in our surgical suite or an operating room under local or general anesthesia, a Phenol Peel takes approximately 60 minutes. The phenol solution is carefully applied to the skin, where it penetrates deeply, initiating a controlled exfoliation process that prompts the body to produce new, healthier skin cells. After a specific duration, the solution is neutralized to end its action, completing the resurfacing process.
DR. ANTHONY WILSON

MEET DR. WILSONRecovery and Aftercare
The recovery process following a Phenol Peel involves noticeable skin peeling, redness, and crusting that can last up to two weeks. Due to the depth of the peel, patients should expect significant downtime. Sun protection is essential, and a high-SPF sunscreen should be applied daily, even indoors, to safeguard the healing skin. Regular application of a hydrating ointment also aids in the recovery process.
Our team at AW Plastic Surgery will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome. Although the skin may continue to improve over time, patients often see dramatic changes in their skin’s tone, texture, and overall appearance within a few weeks of treatment.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While phenol peels offer remarkable results, it’s essential to consider potential risks, including:
- Persistent redness, which may last several months
- Scarring
- Changes in skin pigmentation (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation)
- Swelling, discomfort, or infection
During your consultation at AW Plastic Surgery, we’ll discuss your skin type, concerns, and desired results to determine if a Phenol Peel is the right choice. Our board-certified providers are dedicated to ensuring patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction at every stage.
