What Can You Expect After a Chemical Peel?
Desert Eyesthetics is pleased to offer a range of chemical peel options to remove your skin's outer layers, revealing fresh, healthier-looking skin. The safe and effective anti-aging solution virtually eliminates a range of complexion imperfections, restoring your skin's youthful radiance. Here is all you need to know about chemical peels and what you can expect after treatment.
Chemical Peels - An Overview
Chemical peels involve the use of chemical solutions to exfoliate the top layers of your skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities. That activates the body's natural healing processes, triggering skin cell regeneration and collagen production. Chemical peels are ideal for most skin types and can treat skin concerns of the face, neck, hands, and other areas.
Chemical peels come in different strengths. The depth of the peel will determine the extent of exfoliation and how dramatic the results will be.
- Superficial Peels are the mildest form of chemical peels. They are ideal for treating mild acne, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. They are safe for most skin types and require little to no downtime.
- Medium Peels penetrate deeper into the skin. They are ideal for treating moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. You may require some downtime and may experience swelling and peeling for up to a week after treatment.
- Deep Peels are the most intensive peels. They are used to address more stubborn skin concerns, like severe sun damage, scars, or wrinkles. Deep peels may require two to three weeks of downtime, and you can expect swelling, peeling, and redness for up to two weeks after your procedure.

We recommend a personalized ZO Skin Health skin care regimen before your peel for optimal results.
What Can You Expect After a Chemical Peel?
Most chemical peels cause only minor to moderate discomfort. You may feel warmth followed by a stinging sensation that should resolve within a few short minutes. The recovery following your peel will depend on its strength. Most superior and medium-depth peels have a quick recovery time with little to no downtime.
Immediately following your chemical peel, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and redness in the treated areas. Make sure to follow the aftercare instructions for sun protection, cleansing, moisturizing, and applying protective, healing ointments. Your skin will start flaking and peeling 2-10 days after treatment, revealing a brighter, more even complexion.

5 Procedures You Can Get During Your Lunch Break
At Desert Eyesthetics, we understand how busy life can be, and are proud to offer quick and easy lunchtime cosmetic procedures that deliver real results. You'll be amazed at how rejuvenated and refreshed your skin feels with virtually no discomfort or downtime.
Here are five popular procedures you can get during your lunch break:
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is an effective skin treatment that refreshes and rejuvenates your skin. The minimally invasive procedure will improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crows feet, sun-damaged skin, discoloration, acne scars, crow's feet, melasma, and much more.
The treatment involves the application of a chemical solution to your face, neck, or hands, exfoliating your skin and removing its aging or damaged outer layers. Your new skin will be brighter, clearer, smoother, and softer.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Turning back the hands of time has is now easier and more convenient than ever with Botox and dermal fillers. Erase the signs of aging and combat volume loss with these powerful anti-aging treatments.
Botox: With repeated facial expressions, the fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes become more pronounced. Botox, an injectable neuromodulator, can restore your youthful appearance by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for contractions, which visibly reduces any fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers: As the years go by, your body's natural production of hyaluronic acid begins to slow down, resulting in loss of facial volume and elasticity and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet. Dermal fillers are hyaluronic-based injectables that reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or other scars and restore lost facial volume.
Kybella
Kybella is the only FDA-approved prescription injectable treatment for adults, designed to contour moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat). The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that helps in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When injected, it destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the fullness under your chin, or double chin. Once destroyed, your fat cells are gone for good, meaning the results are permanent.
After treatment, your body clears the excess fats through its natural metabolic processes. Most patients report a significant improvement to the chin profile and jawline.
Dermaplane
As we age, cell regeneration starts slowing down. The body becomes slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. Old skin starts piling up your skin's surface, leaving your face looking dry, dull, and rough. Moreover, dead skin build-up can clog your pores, leading to acne and blemishes.
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that involves the removal of the top layer of dead cells and the vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing smooth and radiant skin. It also allows your skincare products to be more effective due to increased absorption.
Forever Young BBL
Forever Young BBL, also known as photofacial, is a revolutionary laser treatment that harnesses the power of broadband light (BBL) technology to deliver light energy deep within your skin. That helps boost collagen production and your body's natural ability to fight the appearance of aging. Forever Young BBL can treat most areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, back of the hands, and shoulders. The result? Skin that's visibly younger-looking, year after year!
