Reveal smoother, brighter, clearer skin with chemical peels in Glendale, AZ at True Skin & Wellness Med spa. Featuring VI Peel treatments, we target acne, discoloration, uneven tone, rough texture, and early signs of aging, refreshing your complexion while supporting long-term skin health.
Brighten and Resurface Your Skin
Chemical peels are professional exfoliation treatments that use specially formulated chemicals to remove the damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. Peels essentially encourage your skin to shed what it no longer needs, so new, vibrant skin cells can take over. They’re used to improve concerns like acne, discoloration, rough texture, dullness, and fine lines. At True Skin & Wellness, we offer personalized VI Peel formulations, because your skin deserves a plan that’s as unique as you are.
Chemical Peels Treat:
- Acne and active breakouts
- Post-acne marks and acne scarring
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone and dullness
- Rough or congested texture
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Enlarged or visible pores
How VI Peel Works
VI Peel works by applying a medical-grade blend of acids and skin-supporting ingredients that penetrate the top layers of the skin to trigger controlled exfoliation. This process speeds up cell turnover, helping your skin shed damaged cells and replace them with healthier ones. VI Peels include ingredients like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, vitamin C, and phenol, which work together to unclog pores, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin tone and texture without excessive irritation.

Your Chemical Peels Experience
Consultation
You’ll sit down with one of our providers to chat about chemical peels in Glendale, AZ, specifically your skin concerns, goals, lifestyle, and any treatments you’ve tried before. We’ll take a close look at your skin, discuss what’s causing your issues, and walk you through which VI Peel option makes the most sense for you. You’ll also learn what to expect before, during, and after treatment, plus how to prep your skin.
Treatment
Once you’re comfortable, your provider will thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove makeup, oil, and debris. The VI Peel solution is then applied in gentle layers using a small applicator: most people feel a mild tingling or warmth that fades quickly. The entire application takes only 15-20 minutes. You’ll leave with the peel on your skin and specific at-home instructions, including when to wash it off and how to care for your skin as the peel starts working.
Recovery
You can expect some redness, tightness, and mild sensitivity the first day or two: kind of like a sunburn. Peeling typically begins around day 2 or 3 and can last up to about 7 days, depending on the formula used. Most people stick to gentle skincare and skip intense workouts, heat, and exfoliation during this time. Makeup is usually okay after 24 hours. We’ll send you home with clear aftercare instructions so you feel confident every step of the way.
Results
You’ll start noticing changes once peeling is complete, usually within 5-7 days after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Many people benefit from a series of 3-4 peels spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal skin health. The results last several months with good skincare and sun protection, and maintenance peels can keep your skin healthy and glowing. Think of peels as routine skin upkeep, like going to the gym, but for your face.
Chemical Peel FAQs
Are Chemical Peels safe for darker skin tones?
Yes — Chemical Peels, including the VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus, are specifically formulated to be safe for a wide range of skin tones, including deeper complexions that can be more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with other peel types. Your provider will select the right formula based on your skin tone and concerns to minimize any risk.
Can I combine a Chemical Peel with other treatments?
Chemical Peels can be performed alongside certain treatments — for example, the VI Peel Body page notes they can be done the same day as BOTOX when scheduled prior to injection. However, combining a peel with more aggressive resurfacing treatments like microneedling or laser on the same day is generally not recommended, and your provider will advise on the safest sequencing.
How is a professional Chemical Peel different from an at-home peel?
Chemical Peels in Glendale use medical-grade concentrations of active ingredients — including TCA, retinoic acid, and phenol — that penetrate deeper into the skin than anything available over the counter. At-home peels are formulated at much lower strengths for safety without professional supervision, meaning they deliver more surface-level results and cannot address the same depth of concerns.
How should I prepare my skin before a Chemical Peel?
In the days leading up to your peel, avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and prolonged sun exposure, as these can increase sensitivity and affect how your skin responds to treatment. Your provider will give you a personalized pre-care plan at your consultation to ensure your skin is properly prepped for the best results.
What skincare ingredients should I avoid while my skin is peeling?
During the peeling phase — typically days 2 through 7 — stick to a gentle cleanser, fragrance-free moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF. Avoid retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, and any physical exfoliants until your skin has fully healed, as these can cause irritation and slow recovery.
