Chemical Peels IN BIRMINGHAM, MI

For brighter, smoother, healthier skin, we offer a variety of chemical peels in the Birmingham, MI area.

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a non-invasive yet deeply penetrating skin treatment that rejuvenates your complexion. During a chemical peel, layers of old or damaged skin are dissolved, triggering the body to renew and refresh the skin with healthy skin cells. A chemical peel provides a dramatic boost in collagen and elastin. Chemical peels are very customizable skin treatments. Before you undergo your chemical peel, we will meet with you in a consultation to determine the ideal peel for your aesthetic goals. No matter what you dislike about your complexion, a chemical peel is an excellent option to treat your issue.

What are the benefits of chemical peels?

Am I a candidate for a chemical peel?

Depending on the type and depth of the peel, people with a lighter skin tone are often more ideal candidates for a chemical peel, as patients with darker skin, in some cases, may wind up with an uneven skin tone. Ideal chemical peel candidates should meet the following requirements:

• Want to improve their skin and reduce flaws and signs of age
• Have no current skin infections or outbreaks
• Are not pregnant or nursing
• Within the past six months, haven’t taken isotretinoin (an oral acne medication)

Our full range of SkinMedica® medical chemical peels can help your complexion appear more radiant and renewed — diminishing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness.

Illuminize Peel®

The Illuminize Peel® is a non-invasive, superficial chemical peel from SkinMedica increases skin glow and radiance. It utilizes a novel approach to chemical peeling with a newer generation of alpha-hydroxy acids in combination with phytic acid and commonly used peeling agents (salicylic acid and resorcinol) to maximize skin rejuvenating effects with low irritation. The Illuminize Peel® is excellent for all skin types, and involves a simple application after which patients can go back to their regular day. We recommend about six treatments, although every patient will be different. Patients who choose the Illuminize Peel® can expect skin that is more radiant, smoother, and evened out — with minimized and tightened pores.

Vitalize Peel®

The Vitalize Peel® helps fight the effects of time, sun damage, and environmental assaults. This powerful yet non-damaging peel can take years off aging skin. The Vitalize Peel is similar to Illuminize but it is a medium-depth peel. This is the perfect peel for patients with mild to moderate skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, pigment irregularities, and acne. We recommend 3-6, every 3-4 weeks, although every patient is different. Light peeling lasts approximately 7 days. There is minimal-to-no redness.

Rejuvenize Peel®

The SkinMedica® Rejuvenize Peel penetrates deep into the epidermis and produces the most exfoliation. It uses an advanced formulation of peeling agents, with a built-in anti-irritant and penetration enhancer that provides controlled exfoliation of the uppermost damaged layers of the skin to reveal fresher and healthier skin. Smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We recommend 3-6 peels every 3-4 weeks for best results. Peeling and redness may last 7-14 days.

HOME CARE

A big part of chemical peel results is your home care. How you treat your skin at home is of the utmost importance for a bright, healthy complexion. Having a customized skincare regimen is crucial, and using the right cosmetic products is also important so that you’re not constantly irritating your skin. You should be using sunscreen every day, whether you are indoors or outdoors. Our smart devices emit damaging rays that can cause collagen degradation and discoloration. Taking good care of your skin will protect and enhance the results of any chemical peel.
