What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a non-surgical skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the outermost layers. By applying a chemical solution, the procedure exfoliates damaged skin cells, promoting the regeneration of new, healthier skin. This treatment effectively addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage
At Star Plastic Surgery in Novi, Michigan, our experienced professionals tailor each chemical peel to the individual’s skin type and aesthetic goals, ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction.

Understanding the Chemical Peel Procedure
Chemical peels utilize specific solutions to exfoliate the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and collagen production. The procedure involves the following steps:
1. Cleansing:
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils and impurities.
2. Application:
A chemical solution is carefully applied to the targeted areas.
3. Exfoliation:
The solution works to exfoliate the outer skin layers, which may cause a tingling or warm sensation.
4. Removal:
After a set period, the solution is neutralized and removed.
5. Post-Care:
A soothing ointment or moisturizer is applied to aid the healing process.
Chemical Peel Recovery – What to Expect
Immediately After the Procedure:
Patients may experience redness, tightness, and mild swelling, which typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. It’s important to keep the skin moisturized and protected from sun exposure during this time.
First Few Days:
Depending on the depth of the peel, the skin may begin to flake or peel, revealing new, healthy skin underneath. Avoid picking or peeling the skin manually to prevent scarring.
Long-Term Recovery:
Over the next few weeks, the skin continues to heal and regenerate, with optimal results becoming more apparent. Patients should adhere to a gentle skincare routine and use sunscreen diligently to maintain results.
