ABSTRACT
The preparation procedure for a local phenol peel has some aspects in common with those for a full-face phenol peel – however, a local application of phenol is far easier.
Photographs Before any treatment, top-quality photographs (Tiff format) should be taken of the face, profile and three-quarter profile (Figure 32.1), with and without flash. A flash changes the appearance and color of the skin: dyschromias are less apparent and reliefs are flattened. Pigmentation and relief is more clearly visible on photos taken without flash, especially in natural low-angled light (Figure 32.2).
