Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels in Vancouver, BC
Your skin is your first line of defense. Every day, without fail, it protects you from UV rays, pollutants, allergens, chemicals, and the harsh seasons. Over the years, our skin will begin to show signs of its hard work in the form of sun damage, uneven skin tone, rosacea, or uneven texture. If your skin needs a makeover, a chemical peel with Dr. Naz in Vancouver may be your ideal solution.
Chemical peels are a favorite, non-invasive skin treatment in the aesthetic industry for their ability to gently remove layers of dead skin while nurturing the underlying tissue to encourage healthy and vibrant glow-from-within results.

What Is a Signature Chemical Peel?
There are two forms of skin exfoliation—physical and chemical. Physical exfoliation usually involves some type of material, such as beads, cloth, or grit within a product, applied to the skin. Chemical exfoliation involves ingredients like glycolic acid or salicylic acid that break down dead skin cells and allow them to fall away naturally.
Art of Lines MD Signature Chemical Peel uses chemical exfoliation that gently removes a thin layer of dead skin cells, battles acne-causing bacteria, and promotes cellular renewal to revitalize your complexion. This medical-grade treatment can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Acne
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration)
- Rosacea
- Scarring
- Sun damage
What Are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel?
Our Signature Chemical Peel provides numerous benefits to your skin, including:
- Diminish the appearance of skin discoloration linked to sun damage
- Improves skin texture by unclogging blocked pores and refining its overall appearance
- Accelerates the skin’s innate renewal process, aiding in anti-aging efforts
- Minimizes the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines while promoting comprehensive skin rejuvenation
- Boosts hydration levels, resulting in a more supple and plump skin
- Eye area (crow’s feet)
- Frown lines (11’s)
- Forehead lines
- Neck
Dr. Naz appreciates that close attention to details and very subtle choices and meticulous injection can create drastic enhancements to each patient’s appearance and to have a younger version of oneself. Combining extreme precision with an artistic eye for beauty, Dr. Naz targets only the muscles that cause the skin to wrinkle, ensuring patients are not left with an overdone or expressionless appearance.
In some cases, and when needed in delicate areas, Dr. Naz uses an ultrasound device to guide the injection treatment in delicate areas, to avoid vital blood vessels in the face and ensure accurate results.
The Signature Chemical Peel Process
Step One: Prep Skin
Before receiving your signature peel, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities, bacteria, oils, skincare, and makeup. Using an alcohol-soaked gauze pad, your technician will ensure a clean surface free from oily residue, allowing the chemical peel to penetrate the skin’s surface.
Step Two: Protection
Before beginning your Signature Chemical Peel, your technician will apply a protective balm to sensitive areas and provide you with eye protection.
Step Three: Apply Peel Solution
Our technician will use a brush to apply the peel solution. You may feel some slight tingling as the peel gently exfoliates your skin, which is completely normal and is well-tolerated by most patients. If, at any point, it becomes too tingly or itchy, your technician can apply a fan to help calm the sensation for the duration of your treatment.
Step Four: Reaction Time
The peel solution will remain on your skin for about five minutes; however, this time may be adjusted based on your skin’s reaction and the concentration used. Your technician will monitor you closely for any signs of reaction.
Step Five: Neutralizing the Solution
To halt the exfoliation process, the technician will gently rinse the treated area with a cold-water compress, instantly soothing the skin.
Step 6: Post Peel
To finish, higher-performance anti-aging products will be applied to rehydrate the skin. At this point, your technician will discuss recovery expectations and care and any personalized recommendations for your skincare routine.
What Is Recovery Like from a Chemical Peel?
The recovery after a chemical peel will depend on how your skin reacts to the chemical solution and the depth of your Signature Chemical Peel. Each person reacts differently to chemical peels, depending on their skin type.
A common recovery after a chemical peel may look like this:
- First few hours—Your skin will have some redness, tingling, or slight burning sensations that are similar to a sunburn.
- First few days—Some patients will notice some drying, irritation, and mild swelling in sensitive areas, such as around the eyes and mouth.
- Two to three days—Your skin may look dry and flaky at this point, and discoloration spots may be more noticeable.
- Three to four days—Your skin may look slightly tanner or darker at this point. This is an essential part of the exfoliation process. A thin top layer of skin is beginning to lift and preparing to shed away to reveal new, vibrant healthy skin underneath.
- Five to seven days—All side effects should begin to subside, and your skin should start looking and feeling normal.
- One to two weeks—You’ll start to see healthy, new skin forming. You may also notice some redness that may last for up to a month. Be consistent when applying moisturizer, do your best to stay out of the sun, and never skip sunscreen application.
During your consultation with Dr. Naz, she will discuss both your short-term and long-term aesthetic goals to recommend the placement and amount of Botox® required. In some cases and when not to the benefit of the patient either medically or aesthetically, she may advise against using Botox or possibly deferring it to a later time. With a thorough assessment of patients’ medical history and conditions, Dr. Naz ensures using the product will not cause any medical side effects.
Candidates for a Vancouver Signature Chemical Peel
Patients who are in overall good health and are looking to improve the appearance, quality, and health of their skin without surgical intervention may want to consider having a chemical peel.
