Chemical Peels in Sierra Vista
Rejuvenate and Refresh Your Skin with Professional Chemical Peels
At the office of Gwynn Patterson, M.D., FACOG, we offer medical-grade chemical peels designed to renew the skin’s surface, reduce visible imperfections, and restore a more even tone and texture. Treatments are performed in our Sierra Vista clinic and are customized to your unique skin type and goals.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a safe, controlled exfoliation treatment that removes the dull or damaged outer layer of skin. Our professional-grade formulas use precisely balanced blends of exfoliating acids and soothing ingredients to encourage healthy cell turnover and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion underneath.
The result is skin that looks more radiant, feels softer, and shows fewer visible signs of aging, sun exposure, and environmental stress.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Patients choose chemical peels for a variety of reasons, including:
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving uneven skin tone and texture
- Minimizing dark spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation
- Smoothing acne scars and blemishes
- Supporting overall skin renewal and radiance
Because we offer different peel strengths and formulations, each treatment can be adjusted to meet your skin’s needs — whether you’re looking for a gentle refresh or a more transformative result.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a personalized skin evaluation to determine which peel formulation is best suited to your complexion. The solution is applied evenly across the treatment area. You may feel mild tingling or warmth as the active ingredients work to resurface your skin, but most patients describe the process as comfortable and quick.
The full treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it easy to schedule during a lunch break or between errands.
Aftercare and Recovery
Following your peel, you may notice mild redness or flaking for several days as your skin renews itself. These effects are normal and temporary. Dr. Patterson’s team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help you protect your results — including hydration, sun protection, and recommended skincare products.
Within about a week, your skin’s tone and texture usually appear smoother and more refreshed. A series of peels may be recommended for optimal results, depending on your goals and skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hyaluronic Acid/ Dermal Fillers
How does Plasma IQ improve skin firmness and texture?
Plasma IQ stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production. This leads to tighter, smoother skin and gradual improvement in fine lines and wrinkles over several weeks.
What should I expect after treatment?
Mild redness, pinpoint crusts, and slight swelling are normal for several days. These typically flake away within a week, revealing tighter, more refined skin underneath.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal compared to surgery. Most patients resume daily activities within 5–7 days, though full healing and collagen remodeling continue for several weeks.
How long do results last?
Results typically last one to three years, depending on individual factors like age, skin type, and sun exposure. Maintenance treatments can help extend your results.
Can Plasma IQ be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Dr. Patterson often combines Plasma IQ with microneedling or topical rejuvenation therapies to enhance skin tone, firmness, and overall results.
