  North Scottsdale Laser & Skin Care specializes in superficial to medium chemical peels and individualizes a treatment program based upon your skin type.

Chemical peels treat the following
-ACNE -SUN DAMAGE - FINE LINES -ACNE SCARS -FRECKLES -DULL SKIN
   
 
  Chemical peels can take years off aging skin by increasing cellular turnover and revealing a fresh palette of clarity and softness.  
   
  Chemical peel treatment can be used to get rid of years and years of accumulated acne scars and debris on the face. It works by removing the top layers of skin which are scarred. The new skin layers which replace the old ones are free of scars.
     
 
Our chemical peels are characterized by light to moderate penetration of the outer layers of 
damaged skin, with minimal to no discomfort and minimal to no risk of scarring or downtime. 
The deep peels of the past are an outdated procedure due to lengthy downtime and 
unpredictable results. Light to medium peels, however, are an excellent tool for rejuvenating 
the skin. They help restore your skin's natural glow.


What is a chemical peel?
Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), betahydroxy acids (BHAs) light or "lunch-hour" peels include
glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA). Chemical peels improve the
texture of sun-damaged skin, brighten your complexion, minimize pore size, balance skin
pigmentation, and diminish some types of acne scars. They burn off only the outer layers of the
skin to smooth out fine wrinkles and/or rough, dry skin.

How is a chemical peel performed?
All chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of skin so that
a smoother, more evenly pigmented, glowing layer of skin can appear. It helps stimulate the
production of new skin cells. They are often repeated every few weeks for 4-6 sessions to
achieve the desired results.

What can be expected during and after a chemical peel?
Typically, one can expect a small degree of slight stinging during the procedure, which lasts 2 to
10 minutes. Afterwards, chemical peels generally cause some flaking, redness and dryness, or
skin irritation. These side effects diminish over time. Once the body heals itself naturally, the
outer layer of skin will fall away.
