At Kanata Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we’ve been helping women and men rediscover their natural glow for over 20 years, with personalized treatments in a welcoming, private Ottawa clinic. The Croton Peel, also known as the Croton Oil Peel, is one of our most advanced skin rejuvenation options, designed to deliver profound results for those seeking a dramatic yet graceful transformation. Led by experienced surgeons Dr. Lacey and Dr. Jaberi, this treatment gently addresses the signs of time, offering a path to smoother, more luminous skin without the need for invasive surgery. Whether you’re looking to fade fine lines or restore even tone, the Croton Oil Peel is a thoughtful choice for long-lasting beauty, tailored to your unique needs in our state-of-the-art facility.
The Croton Peel, interchangeably referred to as the Croton Oil Peel, stands out as a powerful yet refined anti-aging treatment, penetrating deeper layers of the skin to stimulate renewal from within. Unlike traditional chemical peels that only skim the surface, this advanced formula combines phenol with croton oil to achieve superior results, encouraging collagen and elastin production for a firmer, more youthful appearance. At Kanata Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we embrace this treatment as a way to enhance your natural beauty, helping you feel confident and refreshed in your own skin. It’s particularly effective for addressing stubborn concerns like fine lines, deep wrinkles, sunspots, and uneven texture, all while promoting a gentle, long-term glow that lasts for years.
Patients often report looking 10 to 15 years younger after just one session, with skin that feels smoother and more elastic. The Croton Oil Peel is versatile, allowing for targeted application on specific areas such as around the eyes or mouth, or a full-face approach for comprehensive rejuvenation. Our team ensures the process is as comfortable as possible, with a focus on safety and precision in our private operating room. This peel is not about drastic change but about revealing the vibrant skin beneath, making it an exciting option for those ready to invest in their radiance.
The Croton Peel offers a range of benefits that go beyond surface-level improvements, providing a deep reset for your skin. One of the most celebrated advantages is its ability to significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, lips, forehead, and cheeks, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. It also excels at fading sun damage, age spots, and discolouration, restoring a youthful, balanced tone that enhances your natural features.
Skin tightening is another key benefit, with many experiencing 20 to 25 percent improvement in elasticity, leading to firmer, more resilient skin. The Croton Oil Peel can even address scars and pre-cancerous lesions, offering both aesthetic and health-related perks. Unlike lighter peels that require frequent maintenance, this treatment delivers long-lasting results, often enduring for years, reducing the need for ongoing procedures. At Kanata Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we see it as a gentle yet transformative step, helping you embrace your beauty with renewed confidence and a subtle, exciting glow.
Recovery from the Croton Peel is a natural part of the rejuvenation process, typically lasting 7 to 10 days, during which your skin will peel and reveal fresher layers beneath. You may experience redness, mild swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation, but these are temporary and manageable with our personalized aftercare plan. We provide detailed instructions, including gentle skincare routines and sun avoidance, to support healing and protect your results.
Most patients find the downtime worthwhile, as the skin emerges smoother and more radiant. Follow-up appointments at Kanata Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery ensure everything progresses smoothly, with our team available for any questions. The Croton Oil Peel’s recovery is shorter than traditional deep peels, allowing you to plan your return to routine with a delicate, exciting transformation that unfolds gracefully over time.
As with any advanced treatment, the Croton Peel carries some potential risks, though they are minimized under the care of our board-certified surgeons. Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, and sensitivity during recovery, which resolve as the skin heals. In rare cases, there may be changes in pigmentation or prolonged healing, but our precise application reduces these chances.
We thoroughly discuss risks during your consultation, ensuring you’re fully informed. The Croton Oil Peel is not suitable for everyone; those with certain skin conditions or sensitivities may need alternatives. At Kanata Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, safety is paramount, and we only proceed when it’s the right fit for your skin and lifestyle.
The Croton Peel is ideal for individuals seeking significant skin rejuvenation, particularly those over 50 with pronounced signs of aging like wrinkles, sun damage, or uneven tone. It’s also suitable for younger patients addressing stubborn concerns such as acne scars or pigmentation. Good candidates are in overall health, with realistic expectations and a commitment to pre- and post-treatment care.
