Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is like pressing the reset button for your skin.
If you’re like most people in Clarkston or Lake Orion, Michigan, you probably aren’t exfoliating as often as you should. The chemical peel is a precise exfoliating treatment that helps the body to shed dead skin cells, leaving behind fresh, smoother, more radiant skin.
At Refresh & Renew MedSpa in Oakland County, we carry Vitality Institute (VI) skin-resurfacing chemical peels that stimulate collagen and increase your skin’s cellular turnover. These peels have been recognized by both industry leaders and consumer groups as the top peels on the market.
We also carry the cutting-edge BioRePeel treatment. This gentle “no-peel chemical peel” improves skin texture, tone and overall appearance without the peeling associated with traditional chemical peels.
And contrary to what its name might suggest, a chemical peel isn't harsh or painful! Our peels can be done in about 15 minutes, and their ingredients work harmoniously to revive your skin’s natural glow. All of our peels are safe for all skin types and tones.

It takes about seven days after your peel treatment for the peeling process to be completed, with most people generally peeling the most between days two and five. Peeling typically starts around the mouth and then works its way out towards the edge of the face.

One thing we love about chemical peels is the easy post-treatment care.
During your VI peel appointment at Refresh & Renew MedSpa in Clarkston, Michigan, we’ll review the instructions and give you helpful tips and tricks to be successful in the week following your treatment. It is crucial to stay out of the sun for the first seven days, and imperative that you do not pull any of the peeling skin. You’ll leave your appointment with a post-treatment kit and instruction pamphlet and you can also download an app that will prompt you when it’s time for a care step.
For BioRePeels, there is minimal post-treatment care required. Remember to keep sunscreen on and wear a hat outside.

For VI peels, after seven days of peeling, your glowing results will be revealed. Depending on your goals, a series of three to six peels may be recommended to achieve the desired results.
BioRePeel results emerge gradually over the first seven days after your treatment.

Yes! “Glowtox,” as this combo treatment is called, yields beautiful results. We are able to combat wrinkles two-fold with the resurfacing of the peel & relaxation from the tox. Bonus: there is a slight anesthetic component in the VI peel, so you’ll feel the tiny tox pokes even less!
