Chemical Peelsin Scottsdale, Arizona
At Stutman Plastic Surgery, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Stutman, we offer chemical peels featuring products from many of the top dermatology brands in the world for a powerfully effective experience wrapped in a luxurious package. Our chemical peels in Scottsdale treat some of the most common signs of aged and tired skin.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels involve applying a carefully formulated chemical solution to your face. This solution is made of high-quality, clinical-grade ingredients that are much stronger and more effective than drugstore or beauty counter products.
When the chemical peel is applied to your skin, it clears away dirty, dead skin by exfoliating off the topmost, superficial layers. This reveals your fresh, new skin underneath. A professional chemical peel in Scottsdale can treat a variety of skin concerns all at once, including:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Environmental, sun, and UV damage
- Brown spots, sun spots, and age spots
- Signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration
- Superficial scarring, including acne scarring
The chemical peel is designed to help you achieve radiant, smooth, and luminous skin from the moment you leave our office.

Our team may provide personalized guidance on how to prepare your skin for your Scottsdale chemical peel procedure, including discontinuing the use of certain skincare products and avoiding sun exposure.
During your appointment, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly, and the chemical solution will be applied evenly to the treatment area. The peel solution is usually left on the skin for a specific amount of time, which is determined by the strength of the peel and the nature of your treatment. Some peels are left on for just a few minutes, while others may be left on longer. Then, your peel will be rinsed off, and your skin will be cleansed again. You will be free to leave right after your treatment, and you can return to your daily living activities immediately.
Preparing for Your Special Occasion
Many of our patients obtain a chemical peel in Scottsdale to get their skin ready for a special event such as a birthday, wedding, or other important milestone. We always recommend booking your treatment at least two weeks in advance so your skin will look perfect on the big day.
To keep your skin flawless for your big day, avoid sun exposure as much as possible following your treatment. Dr. Stutman will give you personalized advice on how to take care of your skin following your treatment. This may include using gentle skin care products, avoiding harsh ingredients such as retinol, and moisturizing regularly to help your skin heal and recover.

Does a chemical peel hurt?
A chemical peel usually feels like tingling, warmth, or stinging while the solution is on your skin, and it eases once the peel is removed. Lighter peels tend to be mild. Stronger peels can feel more intense, so your provider matches the strength to your skin and comfort. Afterward, skin often feels tight or slightly sunburned for a while.
Will my skin peel after a chemical peel?
Your skin may peel, flake, or simply look a little dry after a chemical peel, depending on the peel's strength and your skin. Light peels often cause fine flaking that is easy to hide, while stronger peels can cause more visible shedding. Peeling is not required for a peel to work, since exfoliation happens on a level you may not see.
Can I go in the sun after a chemical peel?
You should avoid sun exposure as much as possible after a chemical peel, because newly exposed skin burns more easily and is prone to dark spots. Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen every day, add a hat, and plan outdoor time for early morning or evening. In a sunny climate like Arizona, protecting healing skin is one of the most important parts of aftercare.
Do chemical peels work on dark spots and acne scars?
Chemical peels can fade sun spots, age spots, and uneven pigmentation, and they can soften the look of superficial acne scarring. Deeper or pitted scars usually need more than a peel. How much improvement you see depends on the peel strength and your skin. A provider can tell you whether a peel is likely to help the marks you want to treat.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Chemical peels can be safe for darker skin tones when the type and strength of the peel are chosen carefully. Deeper skin tones have a higher risk of uneven pigmentation after a peel, so a conservative approach and careful skin preparation matter. Tell your provider about any history of dark marks after acne, injuries, or past treatments.
Who oversees chemical peels at Stutman Plastic Surgery?
Chemical peels at Stutman Plastic Surgery are offered within a practice led by Dr. Stutman, who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The team provides guidance on preparing your skin and caring for it afterward. Ask at your appointment who will perform your peel and how your treatment plan is chosen.
What peel products does Stutman Plastic Surgery use?
Stutman Plastic Surgery uses clinical grade peel solutions from established dermatology brands, with each treatment customized to your skin and goals. The specific product and strength depend on your concerns, such as tone, sun damage, or texture. Your provider will explain which peel they recommend for you and why at your visit.
