title: Deep-depth chemical peeling.
abstract: Although a wide range of peeling agents are available, few can provide the dramatic improvement that is seen with phenol-based peeling. The nonoccluded phenol-based technique described in this article has been used successfully for over 20 years. Due to the deeper degree of injury and more involved recovery period, the surgeon will be best served by not only reading about this technique, but also observing an experienced surgeon.
