Men and women alike share a common desire to have healthy and youthful skin. Exposure to the sun and the elements in combination with adverse living habits contribute to the appearance of our skin. Peels from Adam and Eve Med Spa in Scottsdale Arizona are increasingly popular with those who are unhappy about acne scarring, sun-damaged skin, age spots, freckles, fine lines, rough skin, and uneven pigmentation. A chemical peel in Scottsdale AZ is not limited to the face, and can be performed on the neck, chest, hands, arms, shoulders, and legs- just about anywhere!
Chemical Peels are topically applied acids that aid in the restoration and rejuvenation of the skin’s surface. They create a uniform and controlled shedding of several layers of the skin. Depending on the nature and depth of the peel, a significant number of layers can be exfoliated allowing new growth to be exposed, creating a fresh vibrant appearance.
Your skin type and the results you are aspiring to achieve will determine if you are a candidate, as well as which class of peel is most appropriate for you.
Chemical Peels can enhance your appearance by reducing blotchy and uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, freckling, age spots, sun-damaged skin, and acne scars in a relatively brief measure of time. Peels accelerate the production of new cells. Enjoy fresh smooth skin-immediately after your first treatment!
Peels have become increasingly popular because of the array of advantages and relative lack of complications. Side effects are rare and usually temporary. Sun protection is crucial to minimize the risk of side effects. A treatment program of individually suited products and sun protection will benefit your skin’s ability to maintain the results of the peel. You can decrease the likelihood of side effects by carefully following the instructions of your treatment provider.
Chemical Peels are classified as superficial, medium, and deep peels.

Chemical Peels are classified as superficial, medium, and deep peels.
Superficial Peel – This peel is designed to help smooth course, dry skin, improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, and even the tone. The recovery is generally rapid and usually involves some minor flaking. A series of treatments is ordinarily recommended to obtain the desired result over a period of time. Typically, there is no down time.
Medium Peel – Medium peels contain a stronger potency of acids. Medium peels target the epidermis and upper dermis and cause the skin to slough within 5 to 7 days. Immediately after treatment the skin has a red appearance and is occasionally accompanied by swelling. Within a day the skin turns brown in color, and after 3 or 4 days the skin initiates the peeling process.
Deep Peel – Deep peels produce the most dramatic results. This peel is recommended for treating wrinkles, scars, blemishes and, in some cases, precancerous skin lesions. A deep peel targets the dermis and some cases, anesthesia may be required during the procedure to reduce the warm sensation. Following the procedure an ointment may be given to keep the area moist. At Regency and Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics, we strive to provide the ultimate experience in facial rejuvenation and as such, we offer several different chemical peel options.
Do you have uneven skin tone, deep pigment issues or melasma? The Melanage Skin Brightening System is a superficial peel designed to improve the texture and appearance of hyperpigmented skin which involves a medicated masque and an at-home regimen. There is no pain and little-to-no irritation during the application of the mask. Typically, the irritation level on the following days is more like a sunburn.
Melanage 1 Masque is applied during an office visit where it is compounded freshly by the nurse to ensure its potency and reliability. The masque is removed by the patient after a required length of time depending on their skin type. Patients leave the office with this masque on their face. Patients are responsible for adhering to an easy-to-follow, but strict, at-home regimen involving the application of several Melanage products following masque removal.
Results will vary but generally patients will see a significant improvement in the appearance of pigmented areas. Dark spots will lighten and skin texture and tone will improve. Although most patients experience peeling of their skin, not every patient will notice this. If you do not notice actual peeling, please know that you are still receiving all the benefits of The Melanage Skin Brightening System, such as: stimulation of collagen production, improvement of skin tone and texture, and diminishment of fine lines and pigmentation. Proper skin evaluation by your doctor prior to your peel is important and willhelp predict the outcome of your peel.
The 3-Step Stimulation Peel designed by Dr. Zein Obagi reveals brighter, smoother and tighter looking skin with minimal downtime and only mild peeling for up to 5 days. This peel is safe and suitable for any skin type or color. Visible improvement is seen with one treatment; however, a series of treatments can be repeated every 3-4 weeks for deeper repair. This unique peel not only works to exfoliate dead skin cells on the outer surface of the skin, but also works in the deeper layers to boost collagen production, improve elasticity, and diminish lines and wrinkles and irregular skin pigmentation. Lastly, it works to restore hydration, enhance the skin’s protective barrier and prevent future damage. This potent stimulating peel confers longer lasting benefits beyond the temporary superficial improvements seen with ordinary peels. Peeling is very mild or even unnoticeable, with minimal to no downtime. Designed for acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, texture roughness, large pores, and dullness. Promotes softer, smoother skin.

SkinMedica Chemical Peels are some of our most requested peels and deliver great results. The Vitalize Peel, Illuminize Peel or Rejuvenize Peel may be the cosmetic treatment you are seeking to help you achieve a clearer, brighter and more youthful glow to your skin. These safe and effective, medical grade chemical peels target everyone’s needs and issues in three different levels.
The Illuminize Peel is a non-invasive very superficial chemical peel that utilizes a novel approach to chemical peeling with a newer generation of alpha-hydroxy acids (mandelic and malic acid) in combination with phytic acid and commonly used peeling agents (salicylic acid and resorcinol) to maximize skin rejuvenating effects with low irritation. This mild peel exfoliates dead skin cells in a similar manner that Microdermabrasion performs but without the potential abrasiveness of the crystals, to deliver a nice “glow” to the skin immediately. The result is a quick glow without any peeling or downtime. This peel is ideal for individuals who want something more invasive than a facial but cannot have the downtime of peeling. *Enhances skin glow and radiance *Helps restore a more youthful appearance *Improves clarity, color and skin texture *Patients achieve enhancement of skin appearance with minimal downtime and discomfort *Appropriate for first-time chemical peel patients or patients looking for a gentle, very superficial peel *May be performed on Fitzpatrick Skin Types I – VI *Little or no visible peeling
The Vitalize Peel is the most popular SkinMedica peel that is appropriate for all Fitzpatrick Skin Types. It contains a proprietary blend of ingredients to help rejuvenate the skin. Achieve visible improvement after one treatment with optimal results after a series of treatments. The Vitalize Peel combines resorcinol, lactic, salicylic, and retinoic acid (at aesthetician’s discretion) to offer dramatic improvement in texture and tone. The renewal process stimulates collagen production, improves pigmentation, acne, and melasma. The skin appears healthier and more youthful with minimal downtime. For best results a series is recommended. The Vitalize Peel exfoliates your dead skin resulting in less acne, less acne scarring, less brown spots and less sun damage. Two days after this peel is applied the skin starts to shed from the chin up to the forehead for a duration of about 2-3 days. If you want to peel during the weekend, we suggest receiving this peel on a Wednesday evening.
The Rejuvenize Peel can be used on Fitzpatrick Skin Types V – VI after the patient has established tolerability to Vitalize Peel or with a practitioner’s consent. The Peeling Solution in the Rejuvenize Peel contains Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Resorcinol, Panthenol, and Isoceteth-20. This peeling solution combined with a Retinol Solution can substantially improve the appearance of the skin. The Rejuvenize Peel is the strongest of the 3 peels and is ideal for those who have already had other peels and are now tolerant to medical grade peels where individuals are now seeing less shedding of dead skin when other chemical peels are performed. This peel may result is some mild redness and an increase of skin peeling two days after this peel is applied. The duration usually lasts about 3-4 days.
