Phenol-Croton Oil Peel

When it comes to deep skin resurfacing, nothing is able to achieve as dramatic of results last the Phenol-Croton Oil peel. Here at Maui MedSpa, we specialize in skin resurfacing, and the Phenol-Croton Oil peel is a powerful tool to remove deep wrinkles, decades of sun damage and leathery skin. Our providers are experts at the safe and effective application of the Phenol-Croton Oil peel so that you can have a true rejuvenation of skin, and feel confident agin, for the many years to come.

The Phenol-Croton Oil peel works by fully removing the damaged layers of skin and triggering deep cellular changes that cause brand new skin to cover the face. 

As the peel touches the skin it's properties allow it to penetrate into the layers of skin where sun has done years of damage. It is these deeper layers where skin has lost it's elasticity, dark areas live and thickening has made the skin leathery. This deep restructuring of the skin lays down new collagen fibers that are strong and plump, and this is the only thing that can truly remove deep set-in wrinkles around the lips and mouth. 

What is amazing about the Phenol-Croton peel is that the new cells that are generated have truly never seen the sun. This means that this skin is new, vibrant, soft and will be for many years-and many patients describe it as 

How a Phenol-Croton Oil Peel Works

Full Face Rejuvenation

Our Phenol-Croton Oil peel is designed for true full face rejuvenation.

  • Around the mouth: This one of the most effective treatments available for deep “Smokers” lines around the lips. In many cases, these lines are dramatically softened or fully erased.

  • Nose and between the eyes: Over time, skin in this area can thicken and pores become enlarged. After this peel the skin is incredibly soft with smaller pores.

  • Forehead: The forehead is an area with high sun exposure and therefore more sun damage. The forehead lines, thinning of skin and dark spots are greatly improved.

  • Cheeks: The cheeks are an area that show a combination of deep lines (both from smiling and sleeping), loose skin, and contributes to the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. This complex area shines with a deep Phenol-Croton Oil peel that targets all of these concerns in one single treatment.

  • Under the eyes: The delicate skin under the eyes and on the upper lids is where we see some of our most striking results. The peel tightens crepey skin and softens fine wrinkles, and for the right candidate, it may offer an alternative to eyelid surgery.

Safety focused protocols

Our Phenol-Croton Oil protocols are safe, effective and follow published, expert guidelines.

  • Anesthesia: All deep sedation is performed by board certified anesthesiologists.

  • Monitoring: During full face Phenol peels we use continuous heart monitoring. Additionally, we perform the peels past the one-hour timeline that is known to drastically reduce the chance of cardiac arrhythmias.

  • Aftercare: We use aftercare protocols and products were designed by field experts Carlos Wambier, MD and Richard Bensimon, MD, providing you with the absolute best protocol for healing.

  • Honest Selection: We are honest with patients who are not good candidates for the peel. To avoid long term complications, this peel is not advised for patients with darker skin tones, difficulties in healing, or are at higher risk for pigment problems and scarring.

A deep Phenol-Croton peels will be a transformative time in your life, and we are dedicated to making this journey safe and comfortable with amazing results.

What People Are Saying

The Phenol Peel was intense, but I am so glad and thankful I did it! My skin has truly not looked this good for so many years. I was self conscious about how my skin was aging and now I really can say I am proud and confident in how I look again which is something money can’t buy. And the staff were really great during the healing process and were quick to get back to all my questions. I always felt taken care of.

“I can't say enough amazing things about Maui MedSpa. The staff is not only incredibly kind and welcoming, but they're also exceptionally trained under Dr. Turnage, which makes all the difference. Every visit is thorough and personalized. They don't just do what you ask; they give their professional, honest opinion on what you actually need and where your face and skin may be lacking in balance, structure, or skin tone correction. I genuinely appreciate how educated and skilled they are; it shows in the results every single time. Even after moving to Miami, I still fly back to get my treatments done here because I just don't trust anyone else. I promise once you experience this level of expertise and care, you will not want to go anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Turnage and staff. I am so, so grateful.”

Phenol-Croton Oil FAQ

How long does it take to recover?

Recovery happens in two stages:

First 2 weeks: The treated skin peels away and fresh new skin emerges. Plan to stay home and rest during this time, so we suggest stocking up on books, shows and easy projects you enjoy. Most patients can wear makeup and return to social activities around 10.

After 2 weeks: The skin will have a light pink hue for about 12 weeks as it continues to regenerate, which is a good thing. It will also be more sensitive, so you’ll need careful sun protection and very gentle cleansers, moisturizers and sunscreen.

How do I take care of my skin after a Phenol-croton peel?

We provide a simple, easy-to-follow routine and all the products you’ll need, each chosen to be comfortable for healing skin.

The “wet” phase (about days 1–3): In the first few days, your skin will be moist. Our aftercare products protect the old skin as it gently loosens from the new skin forming beneath.

The “dry” phase (about days 4-6): Later in the first week, the old skin dries, hardens and begins to slowly come off. Your aftercare products keep you comfortable through this stage.

The new-skin phase: Your fresh skin will be delicate, so it needs gentle cleansing and diligent sun protection. We provide very gentle cleansers and mineral sunscreen that are simple and comfortable to use.

Throughout your recovery, we will be checking in daily and see you for follow-up visits in the office. Our team is always available if you have questions.
