Chemical Peels

Skin concerns like acne scars, sun damage, and uneven tone can affect confidence. Lytle Plastic Surgery offers chemical peels to improve skin clarity and texture using customized, physician-supervised treatment plans. 

Conveniently located for patients in Detroit and Dearborn, our practice provides medical-grade chemical peels designed to renew your skin with noticeable results.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a non-surgical skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the outer layer of skin. This controlled resurfacing process stimulates collagen production, encouraging new, healthier skin to emerge. 

Depending on the strength of the peel, it can address surface-level and deeper skin imperfections.

What Skin Concerns Can Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels are often used to improve fine lines, sunspots, acne, acne scars, melasma, and rough or dull texture. Patients also turn to peels to reduce pore size and create a more even skin tone. 

If you’re seeking skin exfoliation in Detroit or a medical-grade facial peel in Dearborn, chemical peels may be a strong fit for your needs.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Light peels are designed to remove the top layer of skin gently. They are ideal for those with mild discoloration or texture concerns and can be used as part of a routine skin maintenance plan.

Medium peels reach the middle layers of the skin and are better suited for patients with more noticeable sun damage, age spots, or fine lines.

Deep peels penetrate deeper layers of skin to treat more advanced issues, such as deep wrinkles or significant pigmentation. They involve more downtime but deliver longer-lasting results.

Our expert provider will choose the right peel based on your skin type, lifestyle, and goals.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Appointment

Your visit begins with a consultation, during which your skin will be examined and the appropriate peel selected. The skin is cleansed during treatment, and the chemical solution is applied. You may feel tingling or warmth during the process. 

Depending on the formula, the peel is either neutralized or left to self-deactivate. The entire appointment typically takes 20-30 minutes. 

Post-treatment instructions are provided to help protect your skin and ensure proper healing.

Is a Chemical Peel Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate for a chemical peel if you have sun damage, fine lines, acne scarring, or uneven pigmentation. A peel can also be helpful for patients with dull skin or rough texture. 

If you have sensitive skin or certain medical conditions, we will evaluate whether this treatment is safe during your consultation. Patients often combine peels with other treatments like microneedling to improve outcomes or maintain long-term results.

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery depends on the strength of the peel. Light peels may cause minor redness or dryness for a few days. 

Medium peels often result in more visible peeling and skin sensitivity lasting up to a week. 

Deep peels require longer healing, with skin shedding and redness lasting several days to two weeks. 

Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and to follow their skincare routine as instructed to prevent irritation or pigmentation changes. The skin may continue to improve in tone and texture over the weeks that follow treatment.
