Experience the Best Facial Peels in Michigan

A facial is a skincare treatment that involves a variety of techniques designed to improve the appearance and health of the skin. It typically includes cleansing, exfoliation, extraction (if needed), mask application, and moisturizing. Facials can be customized to address specific skin concerns like acne, dryness, aging, or dullness.

• Deep cleansing: Removes dirt, oils, and impurities from the skin.
• Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
• Hydration: Helps replenish moisture, leaving skin soft and plump.
• Relaxation: The process can be calming and reduce stress.
• Improved skin appearance: Regular facials can improve skin texture, tone, and overall health.
• Anti-aging effects: Some facials target fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful appearance.

A chemical peel is a treatment that involves applying a solution to the skin that causes the top layers to exfoliate and peel off, revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. Peels can vary in strength, ranging from superficial (light) to deep treatments, and are used to treat concerns like acne, pigmentation, wrinkles, and scarring.

Facials can be customized for different skin types and concerns. Some common types of facials include:

• Classic facial: A general facial focusing on deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration.
• Anti-aging facial: Targets fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity with nourishing ingredients and sometimes massage.
• Acne facial: Aimed at treating acne, with extractions and products that help reduce inflammation and prevent breakouts.
• Brightening facial: Focuses on addressing dull, uneven skin tone using ingredients like Vitamin C or exfoliating acids.
• Hydrating facial: Designed to add moisture to dry skin using hydrating serums, masks, and moisturizers.
• Oxygen facial: Delivers oxygen to the skin to refresh and rejuvenate, often combined with serums to address specific concerns.

Chemical peels come in three main types, based on how deeply they exfoliate the skin:

• Superficial (Light) Peel: Uses mild acids (like alpha hydroxy acids or salicylic acid) to remove the outermost layer of skin. Ideal for light exfoliation, treating mild acne, or dull skin.
• Medium Peel: Penetrates deeper into the skin to treat moderate sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and fine lines. Typically uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid.
• Deep Peel: A strong peel, often using phenol, to treat more severe skin issues like deep wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring. This peel requires longer recovery and is typically done by dermatologists.

• Improved skin texture: Peels help smooth rough skin and improve overall texture.
• Brighter skin: They can lighten dark spots and pigmentation, providing a more even complexion.
• Acne treatment: Helps reduce acne breakouts by unclogging pores and reducing oil production.
• Reduction of wrinkles: Regular peels can diminish the appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity.
• Scar reduction: Peels can reduce the appearance of superficial scarring and discoloration from acne or injury.

• Consultation: The esthetician will ask about your skin concerns, lifestyle, and current routine.
• Cleansing: Your skin will be thoroughly cleaned to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.
• Exfoliation: A scrub or exfoliating solution is applied to remove dead skin cells.
• Extractions: If necessary, the esthetician may perform extractions to clear clogged pores or blackheads.
• Mask: A mask suited to your skin type and concerns is applied.
• Moisturizing: Your skin will be hydrated with a suitable moisturizer or serum.
• Massage: Some facials include a relaxing face or neck massage to stimulate circulation.

• Consultation: The provider will assess your skin and discuss which peel is right for you.
• Application: The chemical solution will be applied to your skin. You may feel a tingling, mild stinging, or burning sensation during the process.
• Peeling: After the treatment, your skin may begin to peel over the next few days as the dead skin sheds. This can last from a few days to a week, depending on the peel type.
• Post-care: You’ll be given instructions on how to care for your skin after the peel, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and moisturizing.

• Facials: Typically last 60-90 minutes.
• Chemical peels: Superficial peels may take around 30 minutes, while deeper peels may take longer. Recovery time varies based on the strength of the peel.

• Facials: Most facials are not painful, though some extractions or deep cleansing may cause mild discomfort.
• Chemical peels: Light peels usually feel like a mild tingling or warmth, while medium or deep peels can be more uncomfortable with a stronger burning sensation during application. Post-treatment discomfort varies, but redness and irritation are common.

• Facials: Depending on your skin’s needs, facials are typically recommended every 4-6 weeks to maintain results and improve skin health.
• Chemical Peels: Light peels can be done every 4-6 weeks, while deeper peels are typically spaced out every few months, depending on the skin’s response and goals.

• Facial: Cleanse your skin before the treatment and avoid wearing makeup. Let your esthetician know if you have any skin sensitivities or conditions.
• Peel: Avoid sun exposure and exfoliating treatments for a few days before the peel. If you have sensitive skin or are using products like retinoids, your provider may recommend pausing these treatments beforehand.

• Facial: Mild redness or sensitivity can occur, but it typically subsides within a few hours. Rarely, allergic reactions or breakouts can happen.
• Peels: After a chemical peel, expect redness, dryness, and peeling. For deeper peels, swelling and crusting may occur. It’s important to follow post-care instructions to prevent complications.

Our customized facial peels, including chemical and enzyme options, are tailored to rejuvenate and brighten your skin for radiant results.

• Facial: After a facial, it’s usually okay to wear makeup, but it’s best to let your skin breathe for a few hours afterward, especially if extractions or a mask were involved.
• Peel: After a chemical peel, it’s recommended to avoid makeup for at least 24-48 hours, particularly with deeper peels, to allow your skin to heal properly.

• Facials: Most facials are safe for all skin types, but it’s important to choose the right type of facial based on your skin’s needs (e.g., acne facials for oily skin, hydrating facials for dry skin).
• Peels: Chemical peels can be safe for most skin types but should be customized based on your skin tone and concerns. Some peels are more suitable for sensitive or darker skin tones, so consult with a professional to ensure the correct peel is selected.
