What is a chemical peel?
Pigment is the clearest case for starting now. Sun damage and melasma sit in the surface layers at first, where a light peel series clears them. Left through another summer or two, pigment migrates deeper into the dermis, where peels reach it slowly or not at all. The same spot that fades in three visits this year can become a project next year. If a peel isn't the right tool for your pigment, we'll tell you before you spend a dollar on one. Guests bring us their sun damage from Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Rochester Hills and across Metro Detroit.

What to expect
Skin assessment
Your clinician reviews your skin history, current routine, recent sun exposure, and any active conditions. We discuss your goals and recommend the right peel, sometimes that's a different one than you came in asking for.
Skin prep
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased so the peel solution applies evenly. For medium-depth peels, you may have used a prep regimen at home for 1-2 weeks beforehand.
The peel application
The solution is brushed onto your skin in layers. You'll feel a tingling, warming, or stinging sensation that fades within minutes. We monitor your skin's response throughout.
Neutralization & finish
The peel is neutralized at the right point, never left too long. We apply soothing serum, broad-spectrum sunscreen, and review aftercare in detail.
Recovery & results
Light peels: glow within 1-2 days, no visible peeling. Medium peels: redness and peeling 3-7 days, then renewed skin. Avoid sun and use protection religiously during recovery.
Pricing
Pricing is personal, it depends on your goals and the plan we build together. We share exact pricing at your complimentary consultation, transparently and before anything begins.

A single peel improves skin for 4-6 weeks. A series builds compounding results that last several months. Maintenance peels every 4-8 weeks keep skin at its best.
