You may be a candidate for a Croton Oil peel if you have deep lines or wrinkling around your eyes and mouth, skin discoloration or superficial acne scarring and wish to have more youthful appearing skin. There is significant tightening of the skin with a Croton Oil peel.

The Procedure

Dr. Kearney usually performs Croton Oil peels in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures under general anesthesia. Sometimes this procedure can be performed under a lighter sedation.

Recovery & Follow-Up

Most patients return to work 7-10 days following the procedure and can cover red or pink areas with makeup. The skin will be red to pink for few months following the procedure and this can be easily covered up with makeup.
