As anyone who has ever undergone a cosmetic service here at Southern Plastic Surgery knows, no two cosmetic treatments are exactly the same. This is certainly true in the case of facial rejuvenation. For instance, Dr. David Whiteman’s signature Croton Oil Peel is no ordinary treatment. Also known as a modified phenol peel, the Croton Oil Peel is an especially deep chemical peel that can help provide outstanding and long-term rejuvenation for patients. In the spirit of education, we wanted to offer a few essential things that patients should know before considering a Croton Oil Peel.
Rejuvenation For The Whole Face
During a Croton Oil Peel, croton oil is able to penetrate the deepest layers of facial skin, where hair roots, sebaceous oils, sweat glands, and blood vessels are found. By activating healthy proteins like collagen and elastin, the peel is able to offer a brighter, healthier complexion in areas all over the face including around the mouth, forehead, and around the eyes.
Virtually Unrivaled Versatility
Beyond its strength, very few cosmetic treatments can address as many facial concerns at once as the Croton Oil Peel. The Croton Oil Peel can provide improved facial rejuvenation results
for the following cosmetic issues:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun damage
- Pigmentation issues
- Uneven skin texture
- Visible scarring (including acne scarring)
- Certain precancerous skin growths
- Laxity of the facial skin
Only One Croton Peel Is Needed
Because of the relative strength of the Croton Oil Peel compared to many other chemical peels on the market, most patients only need one treatment session to achieve meaningful facial rejuvenation results. Although the recovery process takes slightly longer than with an average peel, results will continue to improve for months as the skin rejuvenates. And the final results of a Croton Oil Peel will last for years.
Anti-aging can take many forms, we are proud to offer cutting-edge treatments like the Croton Oil Peel for our patients. For more information or to schedule a cosmetic consultation appointment, contact Southern Plastic Surgery today. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
