Chemical Peels in Scottsdale – Resurfacing & Skin Renewal
Chemical peels are a powerful, non-invasive treatment designed to exfoliate dead skin, stimulate cellular turnover, and reveal a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion. Using customized blends of medical-grade acids, chemical peels help reduce fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, providing noticeable skin renewal.
Under the direction of Dr. Ashley Howarth, board-certified plastic surgeon, and performed by licensed esthetician Ashley Hall, LME, our chemical peels are carefully selected to suit your skin type, goals, and tolerance for downtime. Whether you need a light refresh or a deeper resurfacing treatment, we offer solutions for all skin tones and concerns.
With a physician-led approach and personalized skincare protocols, we ensure safe, effective, and visible results in a luxury medical setting. Whether targeting dullness, uneven skin tone, or fine lines, our chemical peels are a trusted solution for radiant, healthier-looking skin.

The Power of Medical Grade Exfoliation
Chemical peels at Aesthetica by Ashley Howarth MD are formulated to create controlled exfoliation—stimulating cellular turnover, fading discoloration, and revealing smoother, healthier skin with each treatment. Unlike over-the-counter peels or spa-level exfoliants, our medical-grade solutions are selected based on your skin type, tolerance, and long-term goals.
Ashley Hall, LME, adjusts the strength and depth of each peel to match your needs, whether you’re treating fine lines, uneven tone, breakouts, or sun damage. By removing damaged surface layers and encouraging skin renewal at a deeper level, chemical peels help restore a balanced, radiant complexion—often with minimal downtime and consistently visible results.
The Right Chemical Peel for You
Chemical peels at Aesthetica by Ashley Howarth MD are well-suited for individuals looking to improve skin clarity, texture, and tone without invasive procedures. Whether you’re experiencing dullness, sun damage, acne scarring, or early signs of aging, peels offer a gentle yet effective way to refresh the skin and encourage long-term renewal.
Because we offer a range of formulations—from light, no-downtime peels to deeper resurfacing options—this treatment is highly adaptable for all skin types and tones. During your consultation, Ashley Hall, LME, will evaluate your skin and determine the ideal strength and acid blend to suit your goals, lifestyle, and recovery preference.
Peels can also be part of a broader treatment plan, complementing facials, microneedling, or laser therapies. If you’re looking for a clinically guided, results-driven reset, chemical peels provide a trusted option for brighter, smoother skin.
Brightens Dull or Uneven Skin
Chemical peels exfoliate damaged surface layers, helping to fade discoloration, smooth rough texture, and reveal a more even, radiant complexion. Regular treatments can improve skin tone and restore clarity without harsh abrasives.
Reduces Fine Lines and Signs of Aging
By encouraging cellular turnover and collagen stimulation, peels help soften fine lines and improve skin elasticity. Over time, they support a firmer, more youthful appearance—especially around the mouth, eyes, and forehead.
Improves Acne Scars and Breakouts
Formulations can be tailored to target active breakouts, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and mild scarring. Peels help unclog pores, reduce surface oil, and promote clearer, more balanced skin for acne-prone patients.
Customizable Depth and Downtime
Peels at Aesthetica are carefully selected to match your skin’s tolerance and goals. From light, no-downtime refreshers to more intensive resurfacing, each peel is applied with expert care and post-treatment support.

FAQ
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a medical-grade exfoliation treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. Using customized solutions of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), chemical peels accelerate cell turnover, improve skin texture, and reduce imperfections.
What skin concerns can chemical peels treat?
Chemical peels effectively improve:
- Uneven skin tone & hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Acne scars & active breakouts
- Sun damage & melasma
- Enlarged pores & excess oil
- Dullness & rough skin texture
Peels can be customized for all skin types and vary in intensity to match your skin’s needs.
How do chemical peels work?
Chemical peels gently exfoliate the skin by dissolving dead cells, promoting collagen production, and stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process. Lighter peels provide subtle radiance with no downtime, while medium-to-deep peels offer more dramatic skin resurfacing for advanced rejuvenation.
Are chemical peels painful?
Most patients experience mild tingling or warmth during the procedure, depending on the depth of the peel. A light peel causes minimal sensation, while a deeper peel may feel warm or slightly stinging for a few minutes. Our team ensures maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
What is the recovery time after a chemical peel?
Downtime varies by peel depth:
- Light peels: No downtime, with slight redness that resolves in hours.
- Medium peels: Mild peeling and flaking over 3-5 days.
- Deep peels: More intense peeling over 7-10 days, with long-lasting results.
Your provider will recommend the right peel based on your schedule and skin goals.
How many chemical peels do I need?
For best results, we typically recommend:
- Light peels: Every 4-6 weeks to maintain a healthy glow.
- Medium peels: A series of 3-4 treatments, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
- Deep peels: One treatment per year for dramatic skin renewal.
A personalized treatment plan will be created to fit your skin type and aesthetic goals.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Many patients enhance their results by pairing peels with:
- HydraFacial – Prepares and hydrates the skin for deeper exfoliation.
- Microneedling – Boosts collagen for firmer, smoother skin.
- BBL (BroadBand Light) – Addresses sun damage and pigmentation between peel sessions.
Combination treatments allow for comprehensive skin rejuvenation and longer-lasting results.
Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?
Yes! Chemical peels can be customized for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin. Lighter peels are ideal for beginners, while deeper peels provide more advanced resurfacing. A consultation ensures your peel is safely tailored to your skin’s needs.
How long do results last from a chemical peel?
Results depend on peel depth and aftercare:
- Light peels: A fresh glow lasts several weeks with proper skincare.
- Medium peels: Results last several months, improving with continued treatments.
- Deep peels: Long-term improvements with proper skin maintenance.
To extend your results, use medical-grade skincare and wear daily SPF.
How do I prepare for a chemical peel?
To maximize results and minimize irritation:
- Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare for 5-7 days before treatment.
- Stay hydrated and use gentle cleansers leading up to your peel.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week before treatment.
Your provider will give you detailed pre- and post-care instructions for the best outcome.
