I have repeated. Full face Croton oil/phenol peel in 3 patients with no problems. I have done "regional " touch up CO/Ph peels in over a dozen acne scar patients because it was needed to continue the scar improvement.

Phenol peels usually do not need to be repeated for years as their results last.Many men may prefer not to undergo a tradition strong phenol peel as they often have a pink rubor color to their skin which may turn white.  In these cases a modified or mixed phenol peel with TCA  may not result in loss of all color.Please consult with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person prior to making treatment decisions.
