What Is a Chemical Peel?

In a chemical peel, a specialized solution is applied to the skin, exfoliating and removing the top layers of the skin, revealing fresher skin beneath. The process stimulates collagen production so the skin that grows back is smoother and younger-looking. With a range of peel options from mild to deep, we address various skin concerns effectively and safely. Peels can also enhance the effects of other skincare treatments.

Chemical peels are effective in helping with a variety of concerns, including the following:

Hyperpigmentation: Evens out dark spots and skin tone.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooths and reduces their appearance
Acne and Acne Scars: Improves texture and reduces scars
Sun Damage: Repairs sunspots and sun-related skin damage
Uneven Skin Texture: Provides smoother and softer skin
Dull Skin: Promotes a brighter, more radiant complexion

About Chemical Peel Candidacy

It’s crucial to provide a complete medical history to determine during your consultation if a chemical peel is the best treatment for you. During this step, we evaluate your skin type, medical history, and desired aesthetic outcome to create a customized treatment plan. Ideal candidates typically include the following:

Those in good overall health
Individuals without active skin infections
Those not pregnant or nursing
Persons without a history of abnormal scarring
Individuals not using certain acne treatments (e.g., Accutane)
Patients without a history of frequent cold sores (although with prescription prophylactic antiviral treatment, these patients can still be treated)

Chemical Peel Procedure

A specialized chemical solution is applied to the skin's surface to promote exfoliation. Regular treatments typically yield the most benefit. Performed at Caniglia MD Med Spa in Scottsdale, the chemical peel process includes the following steps:

Application: The specialized chemical solution is applied to the skin's surface.
Duration: The solution is left on for a specific amount of time.
Sensation: You may feel mild tingling, stinging, warmth, or tightness during the procedure. These sensations will subside once the chemical is removed.

Different types of peels are available, each catering to various skin concerns:

Alpha-Hydroxy Acid Peel: Known as a “lunchtime peel,” it offers minimal downtime with subtle results.
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Peel: Provides more dramatic results but requires more downtime. Deeper peels result in more noticeable stinging, whereas lighter peels may have minimal discomfort.

What to Expect After Treatment

Post-peel, your skin may appear red and irritated, similar to a sunburn. Recovery involves the following four steps:

Moisturization: For the first several days to two weeks, apply a strong neutral moisturizer.
Avoidance of Exfoliants: Do not use products containing acids or other exfoliants during this time.
Peeling Phase: The top layer of skin will slough off. Keeping your skin well-moisturized will make the peeling less noticeable. As the old skin is removed, the new skin will look smoother and more radiant.
Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure until peeling is complete, and wear sunscreen diligently thereafter.

Chemical Peel Risks

While chemical peels are generally safe, there are potential side effects, such as the following:

Chemical Burns: If left on the skin too long, the chemicals can cause burns and scarring.
Cold Sores: Those with a history of cold sores may experience reactivation. Prophylactic antiviral medication will be prescribed.
Skin Color Changes: Pregnant women, those who become pregnant shortly after the peel, and women on birth control pills may experience temporary or permanent changes in skin color.
