abstract: Historically, phenol peeling has been embraced by plastic surgeons as the method of choice for improving the appearance of coarse facial rhytides. The principal advantage of phenol peeling is its predictability: it requires no pretreatment regime. This article details the technical aspects of phenol peeling, its uses and limitations, as well as methods for avoiding complications through appropriate patient selection.
