A chemical peel is a non-invasive treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to your face to help your skin shed one or more layers to reveal new, brighter, and clearer skin. A chemical peel is a type of chemical exfoliation that comes in many strengths depending on the ingredients. Chemical peels may be very mild and cause no peeling at all or they can be very deep peels that come with a recovery process.

Chemical peels are typically affordable, but the cost of your chemical peel will depend on the tailored peel solution that's right to achieve your goals. At Clarkston Dermatology, we believe in a tailored approach to cosmetic dermatology. To find out your individual cost, please schedule a free consultation for a custom care plan. To make your treatment as affordable as possible, we offer financing through CareCredit®.

The first step in a chemical peel is determining the right strength and ingredients for your skin care needs. At Clarkston Dermatology, our team of licensed professionals take pride in delivering customized care to our patients. A light peel only removes the outer layer of the skin but it can be used to treat acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve your skin tone.The recovery process after a chemical peel will depend on the strength of the peel. With a medium-depth chemical peel, your skin will peel for about three to five days to reveal pink, new skin underneath. A deep chemical peel can take anywhere from seven to 14 days to recover from and your skin may be very red, sensitive, crusty, and tender. After a chemical peel, be sure to use a hydrating serum or moisturizer as well as SPF protection. Avoid sun exposure until your skin recovers from the peel.
