How Chemical Peels Work
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use a specialized chemical solution to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers of skin. This process encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells, resulting in a brighter and more even complexion. At Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery in Phoenix, our experts tailor each peel to your skin’s needs, addressing concerns like texture, pigmentation, and overall skin health.

Consultation and Preparation
- Personalized Skin Assessment
Your chemical peel experience at Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery begins with a thorough skin evaluation by our skincare experts. During your consultation, we assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine the most suitable peel and treatment plan. This personalized approach ensures you receive optimal results tailored to your unique needs.
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Before your chemical peel, you may be advised to avoid certain skincare products or treatments that could increase skin sensitivity. Our team will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare, such as discontinuing retinoids or exfoliants a few days prior. Following these guidelines helps minimize risks and ensures the best possible outcome from your treatment.
- What to Expect at Your Visit
On the day of your chemical peel, our specialists will review your preparation steps and answer any last-minute questions. The procedure itself is performed in our comfortable Phoenix office, with your safety and comfort as top priorities. After your peel, we’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healthy, beautiful results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Skin Cleansing and Preparation
Before starting your chemical peel, your provider will thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. This step ensures the treatment area is clean and prepped, allowing the peel solution to penetrate evenly. Proper skin preparation helps maximize the effectiveness of your peel and minimizes the risk of irritation.
Application of the Peel Solution
Once your skin is prepped, a specialized chemical solution is carefully applied to your face. The solution is tailored to your skin type and concerns, and it works by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin. You may feel mild tingling or warmth as the peel is applied, but discomfort is typically minimal and brief.
Monitoring and Timing
Your provider will closely monitor your skin as the peel solution works, ensuring optimal results and your comfort throughout the process. The solution remains on the skin for a set amount of time, depending on the type and strength of the peel. This careful monitoring helps achieve safe, effective exfoliation tailored to your needs.
Neutralization and Aftercare
After the appropriate time, the peel solution is either neutralized or gently removed, and your skin is soothed with calming products. Your provider will review aftercare instructions to promote healing and enhance results. You can expect your skin to feel refreshed, and any redness or flaking will typically resolve within a few days.

Recovery Timeline and Expectations
- Immediate Post-Treatment Care
Right after your chemical peel, you may notice mild redness or a tingling sensation, similar to a sunburn. It’s important to keep your skin moisturized and avoid direct sun exposure to support the healing process. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions to help minimize any discomfort and protect your skin as it begins to renew.
- Peeling and Flaking Phase
Within a few days, you’ll likely experience some peeling or flaking as your skin sheds its outer layer. This is a normal part of the process and reveals healthier, more radiant skin underneath. Avoid picking or pulling at the flaking skin to prevent irritation and allow for optimal results.
- Managing Sensitivity and Redness
During recovery, your skin may remain sensitive and slightly red for several days. Using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen are essential to protect your skin as it heals. Our specialists are available to recommend soothing products and answer any questions about your recovery.
- Long-Term Skin Care Tips
As your skin fully recovers, maintaining a consistent skincare routine will help prolong your results. Regular moisturization, sun protection, and follow-up treatments as recommended by our team can keep your complexion looking its best. With proper care, you can enjoy smoother, brighter skin long after your chemical peel.
Timeline for Visible Results
After your chemical peel at Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery, you can expect initial redness and mild sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn, within the first day. Peeling or flaking usually begins a few days post-treatment and may last up to a week as your skin renews itself. Most patients notice smoother, more radiant skin within 7–10 days, with continued improvement as new, healthy skin emerges.
