Get a Croton Oil Peel to improve your skin
Aging and sun damage cause your skin to look old. Other issues such as wrinkling around your eyes and mouth, discoloration of the skin, and scarring due to superficial acne don’t make a pretty picture. To rejuvenate that skin and regain a more youthful look, Dr. Kearney recommends the Croton Oil peel.
What is a Croton Oil peel?
A Croton Oil peel, also known as Hetter peel or modified phenol peel, penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, addressing textural changes in the skin. By improving the skin’s deep structures, sun-damaged and wrinkled skin is dramatically improved. The patient gets radiant, smoother, and healthier-looking skin after a Croton Oil peel.
What are the benefits of a Croton Oil peel?
A Croton Oil peel tightens the skin, and improves the appearance of age spots and pigmentation problems. It also treats wrinkles around the mouth, forehead furrows, and crow’s feet.
What can I expect during a Croton Oil peel?
Dr. Kearney usually does Croton Oil peels together with other cosmetic procedures under general anesthesia. In some cases, the procedure may be done while the patient is under lighter sedation. The procedure usually takes an hour to complete.
What can I expect for recovery from a Croton Oil peel?
Patients usually return to work seven to 10 days after treatment. Any red or pink areas on the face may be concealed with makeup. Expect facial skin to be red or pink for a couple of months after the procedure but this can be easily covered with makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results last?
The results from a Croton Oil Peel can be long-lasting, often 5-10 years or more. Because the peel deeply resurfaces the skin and promotes collagen regeneration, many patients experience dramatic improvements that endure over time.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients only need one Croton Oil Peel to achieve noticeable and long-lasting results. In some cases, a lighter version may be repeated or customized based on your goals and skin type.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Yes, as with any deep resurfacing treatment, risks can include redness, swelling, prolonged healing, scarring, infection, and pigment changes. Choosing an experienced provider significantly reduces the likelihood of complications.
Can all skin types have a Croton Oil Peel?
Croton Oil Peels are generally not recommended for darker skin tones due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk. Patients with lighter skin types are typically the best candidates. A consultation is essential to determine if this peel is right for you.
What should I do to prepare for the peel?
Preparation may include using pre-treatment skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and discontinuing certain medications or exfoliants. We will provide you with a personalized preparation plan to optimize your healing and minimize complications.
What kind of aftercare is required?
Aftercare involves gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting the skin, often several times daily. You may also be prescribed topical ointments, antibiotics, or antivirals. It’s critical to avoid sun exposure and follow all instructions to prevent infection and promote optimal healing.
When will I see the final results?
Initial results begin to appear after two to three weeks, but full results can take up to three to six months as redness fades and new collagen develops. Patience during the healing process is key to achieving the most impressive transformation.
Is it more effective than TCA or glycolic acid peels?
Yes, the Croton Oil Peel is typically more effective for deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, and significant skin laxity compared to TCA or glycolic acid peels. While lighter peels offer milder results with shorter recovery, the Croton Oil Peel provides dramatic, long-term skin rejuvenation in just one treatment.
