Baker Gordon Peel

The deepest of all chemical peels, a combination of croton oil and phenol acid. The agent can penetrate a full millimeter into the skin, three times deeper than a CO2 laser. This effect can be enhanced by taping the skin. A peel this deep is seldom necessary and the undesirable effects are numerous. Generally, this peel produces profound depigmentation of the skin. When performed on the full face, the effect was referred to as the porcelain white complexion. On the plus side, the tightening effect is amazing and lasts forever. Generally, these positive aspects don’t outweigh the undesirable side effects and it is best to use this peel very sparingly.
