I had a modified Phenol peel 36 hours ago, my skin started peeling within 18 hrs in some spots. I have noticed that the lines are still there. Does this change over time? My Dr said that I had a deep peel but not the deepest and I may need to redo my mouth and eye area. I thought phenol perks only had to be done once?

Answer: Early phenol peel result Hi. At this stage, it's way too early to tell much about the results. They evolve significantly over time, and you'll need 6-12 months to see the final result. If there are some residual wrinkles, the peel can indeed be repeated in the trouble spots.

Answer: Modified Phenol peel results Dear 7878x,I think it is much too early after your peel to make any judgements on the result. I am a very experienced peeler and it appears to me that you have had a significantly deep peel. An experienced peeler will treat the skin to the appropriate depth for a good clinical result but it is more important to go to a safe depth. Once that is reached, the skin is allowed to heal and then if a re-peeling is called for it can be done. If you peel too deep, and there is scarring, this is much worse. As a general rule, the results of deep peels are very long lasting, but a revision now and then may be necessary. Often, these revisions are minor.
