Chemical peels are advanced skin resurfacing treatments that improve skin tone, texture, and overall complexion. At Aesthetic Assets in Scottsdale, AZ, we customize chemical peels to address acne, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. By promoting healthy cell turnover, chemical peels reveal smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment that uses specially formulated chemical solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin. As old skin cells are removed, new skin cells emerge, helping to reveal clearer, healthier, and more radiant skin underneath.
Chemical peels can improve a wide range of skin concerns and are often incorporated into comprehensive facial rejuvenation plans. Depending on the peel depth and strength, treatment can target surface-level imperfections or address deeper concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and sun damage.
How Chemical Peels Works
Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin’s surface that creates controlled damage, removing the outermost layers of damaged skin. The solution contains one or more types of acid, such as alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
These acids penetrate the skin and break down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing them to be sloughed off. The process stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer numerous benefits for patients seeking healthier, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits may include:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles

For patients concerned with mild skin laxity or early signs of sagging, chemical peels may be combined with other treatments such as Skin Laxity focused therapies to support collagen production and overall skin firmness.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Appointment
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment options.
Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. Once the skin is cleansed, the selected chemical solution is carefully applied to the treatment area.
Depending on the peel being performed, patients may experience mild tingling, warmth, or temporary sensitivity while the solution works. Most treatments are quick, comfortable, and well tolerated.
After treatment, detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to help support healing and optimize your results.
Healing, Peeling, and Recovery
Recovery depends on the type and depth of peel performed.
Light peels generally involve little to no downtime, while medium peels may result in several days of peeling and flaking as the skin renews itself.
Common post-treatment effects may include:
- Mild redness
- Temporary dryness
- Peeling
- Flaking
- Tightness
- Increased sensitivity
These effects are typically part of the normal healing process. As old skin cells shed, healthier skin is revealed underneath.
Many patients notice improvement in their complexion within days, while continued improvements in tone, texture, and clarity may develop over several weeks. In some cases, optimal results continue to improve over four to six weeks following treatment.
Chemical Peel Aftercare
Proper aftercare plays an important role in achieving the best possible results.
Following treatment, patients should:
- Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Wear daily sunscreen
- Use recommended skincare products
- Follow all post-treatment instructions
- Avoid aggressive exfoliation while healing
- Keep the skin hydrated and protected
These simple steps help support healthy healing and maintain your results.
