Micro-needling is a great skin rejuvenation technique used by dermatologists to smooth and revitalize your skin. Micro-needling creates a controlled injury under the skin’s surface to activate the body’s natural collagen inducing response. This generates new layers of tissue packed with elastin, collagen, fibers and new capillaries. When combined with PRP, tunnels created by the micro-needling process allow infiltration of growth factors into the dermis easily. The deep infiltration of growth factors repairs and triggers tissue regeneration. This combination procedure is ideal for acne scars and skin texture imperfections.

Chemical Peels
At Arizona Dermatology, we offer multiple chemical peels, all varying in intensity, to give you the results you need.
Perfect Peel
The perfect peel is our heaviest peel that works to repair and nourish the skin by giving it a radiant glow, refining pores, improving hyperpigmentation, lifting melasma, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, exfoliating sun-damaged skin, slowing aging process and eliminating acne and improving acne scars. This is the strongest chemical peel offered by Arizona Dermatology, but is safe for all skin types.
There is minimal to no discomfort during the 30 minute application process. Patients will experience peeling three to five days after the treatment occurs, and will be completely finished with the peel process by day seven, leaving radiant, glowing results.
Vitalize Peel
The vitalize peel helps fight the effects of time, sun damage and environmental assaults. This powerful, yet non-damaging peel is safe for all skin types. It is recommended as an anti-aging skin treatment, but is often used for those with sun damaged or acne prone skin.
From start to finish the vitalize peel can be done in just 20 minutes. In no time, you can reveal the healthier skin you had no idea was always there. Vitalize peel is gentle enough to use every three weeks and can be treated on all skin types. More dramatic results are achieved with a series of peels and will present maximum benefits.
After only one treatment you will see a noticeable difference in your skin’s texture and tone, lessening of fine lines, and an overall healthier and more youthful appearance. Patients typically return to their usual routine quickly after receiving this peel because of the treatment’s speedy recovery time.
People who benefit most from the Vitalize peel tend to suffer from:
• Sun damaged skin
• Aging
• Blemish-prone skin
• Acne scarring
• Hyperpigmentation
• Melasma
• General poor skin texture
Alpha Beta Acid Peel
The alpha beta acid peel is a non-invasive, light chemical peel that utilizes milder alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acid combinations to maximize skin rejuvenating effects, with mild irritation. It is recommended as a lunch time peel that will increase skin glow and improve acne in a short time with no downtime!
Glycolic Acid Peel
The glycolic acid peel is one of the most popular and lightest peels that we offer. This peel was derived from sugar cane, so it can be considered a natural product. It helps to improve the appearance of aging skin, as well as uneven skin texture and tone. This natural peel gives you noticeable and long lasting results!
Salicylic Acid Peel
Our salicylic acid peel is one of our lightest chemical peels we offer to our patients and it’s great for killing off acne prone bacteria within the skin. This is an antiseptic exfoliate that deeply cleanses the pores of your skin. The peel is an excellent treatment for acne, and aids in overall skin rejuvenation. Salicylic acid smoothens skin and improves texture with anti-acne and anti-irritant properties.
Modified Jessner’s Peel
The modified Jessner’s Peel is a mix of peels including lactic, salicylic and resorcinol. It is a great solution for acne, acne scarring and pigmentation on the body. The peel is applied in layers so it can be more or less aggressive, depending on your needs and budget. To keep lasting results, it’s recommended that the peel be repeated multiple times per year, depending on the intensity of the peel.
Vascular Laser
The Gentle Max creates a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deeply into skin tissue and targets the vascular lesion, spider vein or facial redness. Candela’s patented DCD™ technology protects the upper layers of your skin with a cooling burst of cryogen, giving optimal results with minimal side effects.
Arizona Dermatology provides vascular laser treatment in Phoenix and the Valley’s surrounding areas.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a simple, safe and non-invasive procedure that dermatologists use to gently exfoliate and remove the surface layer of dead skin cells. Dermaplaning also increases cell turnover rate and removes facial hair, or “peach fuzz” allowing your skin to feel softer and smoother than ever. This is an extremely popular treatment at Arizona Dermatology since there is no downtime, and it can performed as often as every two weeks.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-invasive procedure that dermatologists use to stimulate the production of healthy skin cells and collagen. It uses gentle exfoliation to abrade the surface of the skin, leaving a fresh and invigorated skin surface. With a short recovery time of one to two days, your skin will look and feel as good as new!
Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL)
Intense Pulse Light Therapy, also known as IPL or photofacial, is a non-invasive procedure that uses pulses of light to treat several skin conditions for aesthetic purposes. At Arizona Dermatology, we use the state-of-the-art Palomar Icon system to provide you with the most effective, yet gentle, skincare treatment.
IPL is an effective treatment for:
- Pigmented lesions
- Vascular lesions
- Redness
- Poikloderma
- Port-wine stains
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
IPL therapy uses a skin resurfacing technique to deliver its incredible results. The Palomar Icon system emits high intensity pulses of light that carry a range of lightwaves to the lower layers of the skin. In the process of bypassing the top layers of skin, the high intensity light converts to heat energy and begins breaking down your melanin pigments. The pieces of melanin pigment are then absorbed by your body to lift discoloration. IPL therapy produces visible results with little to no downtime.
