Dr. Ellen’s practice offers chemical peels, which are an ideal way to remove dead, dull surface cells, ridding yourself of damaged and uneven skin. This short procedure can have long-lasting benefits for the skin on your face, neck, and chest.

Refreshing Your Skin With a Chemical Peel in Bloomfield Hills

With a chemical peel performed by our doctors at our Bloomfield Hills & Detroit area practice, you can achieve refreshed, younger-looking facial skin. To treat a range of skin issues, chemical peels are available in light, medium, or deep variations, including our popular VIPeel treatments.

A chemical peel can treat:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Poor complexion
• Uneven skin texture
• Some visible scars
• Acne and acne scarring
• Sun damage and hyperpigmentation

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are professional skin-resurfacing treatments that use specially formulated chemical solutions to exfoliate and remove the outermost layers of damaged skin. By eliminating dead, dull skin cells, chemical peels stimulate cell turnover and reveal smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin underneath. Depending on the peel’s strength, this treatment can address concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, acne, discoloration, and mild scarring. Over time, they can promote collagen production, helping to improve overall skin tone and firmness.

What is a VIPeel?

Among the options available at our practice, VIPeel is a medium-depth chemical peel that combines trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and vitamin C into a single powerful formula. Unlike many traditional peels, VIPeel is virtually pain-free during application and comes with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for patients who want visible results without disrupting their busy schedules. VIPeel is also customizable, with several targeted formulations to suit different skin concerns:

• VIPeel Original – A gentle, well-rounded peel ideal for improving overall texture and tone.
• VIPeel Precision Plus – Formulated with added brightening ingredients to target sun damage, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
• VIPeel Purify – Designed for oily or acne-prone skin to help clear breakouts and refine pores.
• VIPeel Purify with Precision Plus – Combines acne-clearing and pigment-correcting benefits for patients dealing with both active acne and related discoloration or scarring.

Am I a Candidate for Chemical Peels in Bloomfield Hills, MI?

Chemical peels in the Detroit, MI area are beneficial for patients of many ages. Younger patients may wish to reduce acne, while mature patients may focus on fine lines and wrinkles. VIPeel in particular is well suited for patients seeking noticeable improvement with little to no downtime, whether they are managing breakouts, sun damage, or early signs of aging. Patients with darker skin, however, may not be ideal candidates for a chemical peel, as it can alter pigmentation. Please consult with our doctors about skin care options for dark skin.

How are Chemical Peels Performed in Bloomfield Hills, MI?

The process for applying a chemical peel is actually quite simple and can take as little as 15 minutes. First, your skin will be carefully cleansed. Next, the chemical peel solution will be applied to your face. For some patients, treatment may also be done on the neck and chest. The solution will work on your skin for a short time before it is removed. With VIPeel, this quick, in-office application is one reason the treatment has become so popular, as it fits easily into a lunch break. Some patients may require more than one treatment to correct skin issues, and VIPeel is often recommended in a series spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results.

What Will My Aftercare Steps Be Following Chemical Peels?

As the name implies, your skin will begin to peel slightly after your treatment. In this process, dead, dull skin cells are removed, revealing fresh, young, beautiful skin. For a light chemical peel, this flaking should be minimal, and you will not need to apply an ointment. You should, however, continue to apply a daily SPF to protect your skin.

Your skin will begin to shed its dull outer layers, revealing clearer, more radiant skin beneath. With a deep chemical peel, you may experience more redness and some scabbing and may have to limit your activities for several days. It will also be key that you apply an ointment and protect your skin from sun exposure, as it will be extremely sensitive.

With VIPeel, peeling typically begins around day two or three and continues for several days, and most patients are comfortable resuming normal activities right away. As with any peel, daily SPF application afterward is essential to protect your refreshed skin and preserve your results.

I love Dr. Ellen! She is truly the best. Super professional, transparent & compassionate. Everyone at the hospital had amazing things to say about her which made me more confident in my decision. I'm so glad I chose her for my breast reduction, arm lift, and thigh lift. Her staff is elite, they are attentive with positive energy that makes you feel so much more comfortable about doing the procedure. If you're thinking of choosing Dr. Ellen, please do! You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Boston exceeded every expectation I had for my surgery. My results are natural and was exactly what I was hoping for. She has an exceptional eye and skill as a surgeon, and it truly shows in her work. Dr. Boston is also one of the kindest and most compassionate people you will ever meet. She takes the time to listen, makes you feel comfortable, and genuinely cares about her patients. I am beyond grateful for my experience and my results.

I had a breast lift, implant and liposuction done a little over a week ago. The whole process from my first Google search and phone call until today, 8 days post op has been so professional and nice. I never once felt like just another patient. I did have a few other consults in the Bloomfield hills areas (2 others) and chose Dr. Ellen.
All the staff is welcoming and friendly, quick to answer your questions. I’m very happy with my results so far.
