Chemical Peels
IN CHANDLER, AZ
At VIA Health & Medspa in Chandler, AZ, we use medical-grade chemical peels to smooth texture, fade discoloration and clear breakouts. Each peel is chosen for your skin and goals.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is an acid solution applied to the skin to remove dull, damaged surface cells. As the old layer sheds, smoother and more even skin comes through. Peels range from light and refreshing to stronger treatments for deeper concerns.
Chemical Peel Options
We offer superficial and medium-strength peels, including glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic and enzyme formulas. Salicylic peels suit oily and acne-prone skin, lactic and mandelic peels are gentler for sensitive skin, and glycolic peels target texture and fine lines. Back and body peels are also available.
Preparing for Your Chemical Peel
- Consultation
We review your skin type, history and goals, and pick the peel and strength that suit you.
- Two Weeks Before
Avoid tanning and heavy sun exposure. Tanned or sunburned skin is not peeled.
- A Few Days Before
Stop retinoids, waxing and strong exfoliants for three to five days before your peel.
What Happens During a Chemical Peel
- Cleanse and Prep
Your skin is cleansed and degreased so the peel applies evenly.
- Peel Application
The solution is applied in thin layers. Most people feel warmth or tingling for a few minutes.
- Neutralize or Remove
Depending on the peel, it is neutralized or rinsed off at the right time.
- Soothe and Protect
A calming balm and sunscreen finish the treatment.

After Your Chemical Peel
First Few Days
Skin may feel tight and look slightly pink. Light peels often show little or no visible peeling.
Peeling Phase
With stronger peels, flaking usually starts on day two or three and lasts a few days. Let it shed on its own.
Skin Care
Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, and hold off on retinoids and exfoliants until your skin settles.
Sun Protection
Daily SPF 30 or higher is essential, since new skin is more sensitive to sun.
