Can Anyone Have a Chemical Peel?
A consultation with your dermatologist will determine whether or not you are a good candidate or not. It is not something you should do when you are pregnant. Most people can safely improve their skin with these treatments.
What Does a Chemical Peel Use on the Skin?
Different types of peels use different types of acid to get the desired results. For a light peel, the preferred acids are alpha-hydroxy acids. Medium peels use glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid and deep peels use trichloroacetic acid or phenol acid.
Why Should You Consider Having a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel in Beverly Hills, MI can minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, tighten up sagging skin and generally make your skin look younger and healthier.
Will Downtime Be Required After a Chemical Peel?
After a light peel, your face will be red for 1-7 days and will need to be repeated to get the desired result. A medium peel will take 7-14 days to recover from and will make you red and swollen. A deep peel will take up to 3 weeks to recover and will require bandages.
How Long Will the Results Last?

How Long Does a Chemical Peel Take?
How long a chemical peel will take depends on the type of peel that you have. A light peel takes about 30 minutes and a deep peel can take up to 90 minutes.
Are Chemical Peels Only for the Face?
