Does skin lose its elasticity after a true Phenol Peel? Does it eliminate black heads?

For deep etched wrinkles nothing comes close to a Phenol/Croton Peel. Properly applied, this is deep second degree wound, not a full thickness wound.  No laser has yet to achieve any comparable results.  We perfected a full face 3 to seven layer pass CO2 technique.  After 240 cases we came to the conclusion that laser did not hold a candle to Phenol/Croton. The down time for CO2 laser was an identical two weeks with both techniques, but duration with laser was about two years and phenol was 5 to ten years.  Deep etched leathery wrinkles did not respond to laser.  

When it comes to extensive sun damage and deep wrinkles, nothing compares to the Phenol Hetter Peel formula. With its active ingredient of croton oil it will truly address the textural changes of the skin, leaving you with a healthier, natural, and younger appearance. A Hetter Peel can give you the longest lasting effect of a dramatically smoother complexion by tightening the skin and improving the appearance of age spots and pigmentation problems. It also treats wrinkles around the mouth, forehead furrows, and crow’s feet.

A Phenol Peel, penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, addressing textural changes in the skin. It gets rid of smoker’s lines, deep leather-like lines, sun spots, uneven skin tone and redness.

Yes, you can have this procedure before other facial procedures.  Your plastic surgeon may prefer to do it first as it dramatically improves skin quality.  A C02 laser is a similar procedure in terms of results but it's not as effective overall. Some doctors may recommend a C02; it just depends on which surgeon you ask.  
This will help with black heads but nothing can completely eliminate them.  You'll still have pores no matter what you do (which your skin needs to excrete oil from sebaceous glands, grow hair, etc.) so there's always a chance your pores will get clogged. Clogged pores can be managed with improved hygiene, personalized skincare products, and regular facial treatments that include extractions.  If you aren't a candidate for something as powerful as a Phenol peel, your plastic surgeon will recommend something with far less downtime.
It's hard to tell if you're a candidate without seeing and examining your skin in person.   Contact your board certified plastic surgeon for more information.  

The Phenol Peel will improve fine lines, wrinkles and tighten skin better than any other modality available at this time.  The associated loss of pigmentation does not make the skin more sensitive but does not permit tanning (which is ill advised in general).  Infrequently a Phenol Peel may be repeated years later.Rhinoplasty and facial slimming may be performed during or after a Phenol Peel if the proper precautions are observed.Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
