Chemical Peels in Clinton Twp, MI
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are a dynamic and effective skin rejuvenation treatment that targets various skin concerns. Using a chemical solution, the skin is exfoliated and eventually peels off its outermost layers. As a result, the renewed skin is typically smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin, offering a rejuvenated appearance. Chemical Peels can address issues on the face and body, including the chest, back, and arms. They are particularly effective in treating wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
Chemical Peels have different levels: light, medium, and deep. Light peels, often called “lunchtime peels,” provide subtle improvements and are suitable for fine wrinkles, acne, and uneven skin tone. Medium peels are more intensive, targeting uneven skin coloring, age spots, and moderate wrinkles. Deep peels offer the most dramatic results, addressing deeper scars, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin. Chemical peels produce results relatively soon after the treatment, with light peels requiring a few hours to a few days, medium peels taking about a week or more, and deep peels having a more extended recovery period.
