Curious about chemical exfoliation? If you have sensitive, problematic, oily, or aging skin, chemical peels treatments will correct it by removing dead skin cells including acne and sun damage. Kenzie Marvin, LE, CLT talks chemical peels with Susan Casper of Sonoran Living and how they are the perfect treatment for anyone that is looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne, skin discoloration and more!
What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels natural collagen production in the skin, activating the skin to develop new healthy skin cells. They also contain ingredients to lighten and eliminate pigmentation, as well as plump up fine lines and wrinkles.
We have a treatment for all skin types and most skin conditions with a variety of peel depths ranging from superficial and light to medium or deep. The changes to your skin happen on a cellular level and continue to improve with each treatment.
What to Expect During a Chemical Peel?
During treatment, you may feel a slight warming or stinging sensation on your skin, which will only last for a few minutes. Your procedure will be completed within 30 minutes and you will be given post-procedure instruction one of our licensed aestheticians.
Once your procedure has been completed, your skin may be pink and a little sensitive to the touch for a while. After a few days, you may notice some shedding or peeling of your skin, which is a normal part of an advanced exfoliation procedure.
Despite the flaking and peeling, keep your face moisturized and protected from the sun. Some people experience significant peeling, while others have no visible peeling. If you experience no peeling, your skin is still exfoliating on a cellular level, which will reveal healthier skin.
What are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are used to restore a youthful, vibrant appearance to wrinkled, blotchy, sun-damaged skin. The post-peel result is glowing, healthy skin.
Peels can address and improve visible skin imperfections such as:
- Skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pore size
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Superficial scars, such as acne scars
- Acne and blemish breakouts
- Rosacea
Who is a Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Anyone who is wanting to improve the appearance of their skin due to aging, sun damage, acne, or acne scarring, are good candidates for chemical peels. If you have a sunburn or any cuts on your skin, it is best to allow your skin to heal before chemical treatments.

[00:00:28] peel is an exfoliation process that we
[00:00:30] applied to the face and it just kind of
[00:00:32] helps break down the skin so it targets
[00:00:34] different layers of the skin correct
[00:00:36] every peel address is a different a
[00:00:37] different concern and a different kind
[00:00:40] of skin issue all right so they come to
[00:00:43] see you for that consultation first and
[00:00:45] the first patient we're gonna see she I
[00:00:47] think you told me she had a very intense
[00:00:48] chemical peels she did so that those
[00:00:51] people before that picture right there
[00:00:53] is one of our deepest peels that we

[00:00:58] amazing results with that peel it was
[00:01:00] just really addressing you know wrinkles
[00:01:02] and pigmentation and all that and we
[00:01:04] want to warn people that's normal right
[00:01:06] yes so that is normal with this peel not
[00:01:09] every peel you're gonna get results like
[00:01:10] that you can peel with that one for up
[00:01:12] to seven days but normal peel sometimes
[00:01:14] you don't even peel and sometimes you
[00:01:16] can it really just depends on how your
[00:01:17] skin reacts so you want to remind folks
[00:01:18] don't be planning a wedding or anything
[00:01:21] special right before you get the
[00:01:22] chemical peel give yourself about a week
[00:01:24] right correct yeah just a little bit of
[00:01:26] downtime just to let you can air more on
[00:01:27] the safe side of not having the chance
[00:01:29] to be peeling on a special event right
[00:01:31] and you do when you wouldn't we leave
[00:01:33] your office you will give us all the
[00:01:34] things we need to do yes absolute to
[00:01:36] maintain and make sure that that skin
[00:01:38] peels off naturally and we and we're
[00:01:39] healthy yeah let's talk about some of
[00:01:41] the benefits the health benefits of a
[00:01:43] chemical peel what is it doing to the
[00:01:45] skin as far as improving it um so it
[00:01:48] really can you know change anything from
[00:01:50] fine lines wrinkles it really just
[00:01:52] breaks down the barrier of the skin it
[00:01:53] kind of helps rebuild the skin you know
[00:01:56] boost collagen and elastin kind of
[00:01:58] clears all the bacteria and just
[00:02:00] unhealthy things and that's the fine
[00:02:01] lines and wrinkles look at the
[00:02:02] difference how many chemical peels is
[00:02:04] this just one honestly that's probably
[00:02:06] about three I would say
[00:02:08] it really just varies on how your skin
[00:02:09] takes the peel it could you know I like
[00:02:11] to recommend a base of three to anybody
[00:02:14] and then we can go from there
[00:02:15] that's huge I mean that looks like
[00:02:16] surgery yeah and you said discoloration
[00:02:18] is another thing that it addresses
[00:02:19] correct yeah it really takes care of
[00:02:21] hyperpigmentation or if you even have
[00:02:24] you know hyper or hypo pigmentation so
[00:02:26] that would be brown or white spots on
[00:02:27] the skin and really just helps to
[00:02:29] correct that and balance the skin out
[00:02:30] who's a good candidate for a chemical
[00:02:32] peel
[00:02:32] you know what anybody can be a good
[00:02:34] candidate for chemical peels every time
[00:02:36] when you come in I would assess your
[00:02:37] skin and we would just kind of go over
[00:02:38] your concerns and we would just address
[00:02:40] just to make sure that you are a good
[00:02:41] candidate right because I mean we were
[00:02:43] looking at the face but you said we can
[00:02:44] also do this on the body this is for
[00:02:46] acne yes that is for acne and a little
[00:02:48] bit of hyperpigmentation really you know

[00:02:53] the body and you just address it and
[00:02:55] then you can apply a peel and it really
[00:02:56] just helps target all areas what about
[00:02:58] ethnicity does that matter

[00:03:01] we are more on the safe side we can
[00:03:03] always peel your skin right and
[00:03:06] depending on the condition of your skin
[00:03:07] you said and that of course you will
[00:03:08] assess that during the consultation yeah
[00:03:10] will depend on the type of chemical peel
[00:03:13] because we're gonna look at the first
[00:03:14] one which is our rejuvenizer IPS yes yes
[00:03:18] when you come in for consultation it
[00:03:20] just depends on the type of peel
