I had a Phenol Peel eight years ago and was very pleased with the results. I want to undergo another to tighten the skin on my face and neck, improve the texture of the skin on my neck and rid my face of some wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
I have been reading conflicting opinions on the safety of a phenol oil peel on the neck and chest. I don't remember being concerned about it when I had my original one done.
Phenol peel solutions have been around for a long time. If used straight, 88% phenol will act as a medium depth peel. When mixed with other chemicals or even water, it will go deeper. Traditionally phenol peels have been performed on the face due to the concentration of hair and oil structures. Since the chest and neck do not have as many structures, scarring may result from a deeper peel. Phenol is toxic to the pigment cells, and could be used as a straight peel to spot treat some sun spots, but I would advise against a whole neck or chest peel. It is also toxic to the heart so such a large area should be performed in an operating room, with Intravenous fluids and a heart monitor.
