Chemical Peels Scottsdale

If you’ve been wondering how you can refresh and rejuvenate the skin, but aren’t interested in an invasive surgical procedure or the frustrating recovery process that can come with it, a chemical peel in Scottsdale at Admire^MD^® Plastic Surgery + Skin Clinic might be the perfect solution for you.

Glowing Skin Awaits

Our chemical peel is a safe and non-surgical procedure that removes the damaged outer layers of your skin to reveal the healthier, smoother, layers just beneath, reducing the presence of scarring and removing blemishes in the process, for a youthful and luminous glow. Reach out and set up your consultation for a chemical peel in Scottsdale, and we’ll design one that is customized not only to your unique goals but your skin’s unique characteristics, as well.

What Can a Chemical Peel Help Me With?

When you come in for your consultation, we’ll work closely with you to learn about your goals and get a clear understanding of your unique skin qualities. With this information, we’ll be able to help you decide whether or not a chemical peel is the right procedure for you.

You’re likely a great candidate for a chemical peel in Scottsdale if you’re dealing with:

Dully, dry skin
Rough, uneven texture
Clogged pores
Acne, or acne scarring
Fine lines, wrinkles, creases
Sun damage
Discoloration, hyperpigmentation, etc

Customizing Your Chemical Peel

At Admire^MD^® Plastic Surgery + Skin Clinic, we offer chemical peels that range from mild to strong, depending on your needs. We offer alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), with the strength of each peel being tailored to you.

Your peel can be combined with other procedures — like a facelift, for example — for additional improvement to your skin. In some cases, chemical peels can be covered by insurance (if they’re performed for medical, rather than cosmetic, reasons).

Your Chemical Peel in Scottsdale

During a TCA peel your skin will be cleansed and a solution will be applied, which may cause a brief stinging sensation (but this is about the extent of any discomfort you’ll experience during the procedure). During an AHA peel, the skin is cleansed and the solution applied; there is no need for post-peel ointment or covering. We'll help you find the perfect procedure for your skin when you schedule your chemical peel in Scottsdale.

Are There Any Side Effects?

A TCA peel can result in tingling or throbbing, reddened skin, a crust or scab, and significant swelling that lasts, depending on the strength of the peel used, about a week.

AHA peels can cause temporary stinging, redness, and irritation, as well as flaking or crusting. After a chemical peel, it is essential that the skin be protected from the sun.

Chemical Peel FAQs

How do chemical peels complement other skincare treatments?

Peels can enhance the effectiveness of topical treatments like retinoids, vitamin C, or acne medications by removing dead skin layers and allowing better absorption of active ingredients.

Can chemical peels treat uneven skin texture from sun damage?

Yes. Regular chemical peels help smooth rough patches, reduce thickened skin, and correct discoloration caused by chronic sun exposure.

Are there any special aftercare instructions for chemical peels?

Yes. Sun protection is crucial, and patients should avoid harsh scrubs, exfoliants, or aggressive skincare products until the skin has fully healed. Moisturizing and gentle cleansing support recovery.

What's the downtime after a chemical peel?

Downtime depends on peel depth: superficial peels usually have little to no downtime, while medium or deep peels may require several days to a week for peeling and redness to subside.
