Chemical Peels
In Metro Detroit
Everyone likes to look their best, but it can be frustrating for those struggling with skin imperfections. Even with the multitudes of “home remedies” and treatments available, deciding which one would work best for you can be difficult. While treatments like a facial can perform wonders for your skin, there can be situations where it doesn’t quite do enough and you need to start fresh. At Skin Boutique in Royal Oaks, MI, we offer Chemical Peels to our Metro Detroit clients as a popular, nonsurgical treatment. To learn more about what we offer and how a Chemical Peel can improve your skin, keep reading below.

A Chemical Peel is a noninvasive treatment performed on the face which requires a chemical solution to be applied to your skin which removes the top layers, leaving you with a smoother appearance and feel as your new skin heals. Most Chemical Peels come in varying degrees of power: Light, Medium, and Deep. Light and Medium Peels are used to clear up minor skin imperfections and can be performed more than once over time. A Deep Peel is usually required for removing deeper wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths and should be only performed once. While a deep peel can produce more dramatic results, it does require more recovery time than a light or medium peel.

These potent antioxidants are abundant with arbutin and ellagic acid—natural tyrosinase inhibitors—that, in combination with licorice extract and ascorbic acid, gently modify and brighten epidermal pigmentary disorders as they increase cell turnover and collagen production.

It enhances topical penetration of other treatments, oxygenates and detoxifies skin and helps to catalyze metabolic functions, and mitigates damage from free radicals.

This new biologically stable combination of 5% active Retinol (Vitamin A), AHAs, and 10% TCA accelerates epidermal cell renewal and protein synthesis improving fine lines and wrinkles as it controls the activation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), which destroy collagen and elastin. This exclusive formula is excellent for fading post-inflammatory pigmentation due to photo-aging and acne, restoring healthy tone and texture to the skin.
Here are some of the benefits our Royal Oaks and Metro Detroit clents have discovered from their Chemical Peel treatment:
Clients who want to revitalize their skin and want to treat a wide variety of skin conditions can be great candidates for our Chemical Peel treatments. They would need to be in good health and should also have realistic expectations. Patients will also need to make sure that they won’t have an issue with any of the ingredients used for the VI Peels. Any skin recent skin injury should also be healed first.
Before clients can get the Chemical Peel treatment that they want, they should first schedule a consultation. This will involve discussions about the client’s health and their need for the treatment. Their medical records will also be brought up and any skin condition that they want to be addressed can then be examined.
Your Chemical Peel experience will vary depending on which one you select, so feel free to look at your preferred treatment for a more detailed explanation. The average Chemical Peel involves you making yourself comfortable in one of our reclining chairs. The Skin Care Specialist will then cleanse your face of any dirt or oils.
Then, the Specialist will carefully apply the chemical solution to your skin using a brush or cotton-tipped applicator, which can be adjusted to meet your individual needs. There may be a temporary burning sensation as this formula begins removing the outer dermis layers and improving texture. Finally, a neutralizing solution or wash will be applied to remove the chemical solution from your treated skin.
*On average, a chemical peel will take about 30 minutes but could take as long as 90 minutes depending on the area being treated and which peel you receive.
There is downtime or recovery periods involved with our VI Chemical Peel treatments. We will provide you with very specific instructions to get the best results for your healing skin, which includes avoiding harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to the sun would be advised.
After 24 hours, you will notice a crust or scab forming that protects your new skin. The scab can usually be removed through gentle washing with soap and water, never picked or pulled off. which should be followed by applying ointments, creams, or non-scented moisturizer. You can expect your new skin to have a deep red appearance (much like a sunburn) which will gradually change into a lighter, more pinkish hue. A few weeks after that you should recognize completely regenerated skin with an even lighter appearance than it was before your treatment. Patients with lighter birthmarks or freckles will notice that they are practically nonexistent.
