Chemical Peel in Hartland, MI
Reveal smoother, brighter, clearer skin
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use specially formulated acids to exfoliate the skin, improve texture, and target specific concerns like acne, fine lines, and discoloration. We offer superficial to medium-depth peels, which gently remove the outer layers of the skin to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Our featured peel is the AlphaRet Professional Peel by skinbetter science, a superficial peel that pairs a retinoid with a triple-acid blend for real resurfacing without significant downtime. These peels can be customized to suit your skin type and goals, with noticeable results after a series of treatments. They’re a great option for refreshing the skin and boosting overall clarity without the intensity of a deep peel.

The AlphaRet Peel
The AlphaRet Professional Peel by skinbetter science is a superficial, in-office peel that combines two things most peels keep separate. AlphaRet is a patented technology pairing a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid, and it’s layered with a triple-acid blend of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid. The result is meaningful exfoliation with far less of the irritation people usually associate with a retinoid peel.
It’s a good fit if you’re dealing with dullness, uneven tone, rough texture, visible pores, blemishes, or early fine lines, but you don’t want to disappear for a week afterward. Most clients see light flaking for a day or two at most, which makes it one of the easier treatments to work into a busy schedule.
The peel comes in two strengths, so your provider can start conservative and build as your skin adjusts. It also pairs well with an at-home SkinBetter Science regimen, and we’ll walk you through what to use between visits.
The AlphaRet Peel may be a good option if you want to:
- Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
- Smooth rough texture and refine the look of pores
- Soften the appearance of fine lines
- Even out tone and address blemishes
- Get real results without significant downtime

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Below are commonly asked questions about chemical peels
What skin concerns can a chemical peel treat?
Chemical peels help improve acne, acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, melasma, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone and texture.
How long is the downtime after a chemical peel?
Downtime depends on the type of peel. Light peels may cause mild flaking for a day or two, while medium to deep peels can lead to several days of peeling and redness.
How often should I get a chemical peel?
Lighter peels can be done every 4 to 6 weeks, while deeper peels are typically done less frequently—every few months or as recommended by your provider.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people feel a mild tingling or warming sensation during the procedure. Discomfort is minimal and temporary, especially with lighter peels.
How is the AlphaRet Peel different from other chemical peels?
Most peels rely on acids alone. The AlphaRet Peel adds a retinoid that's been chemically bonded to an alpha hydroxy acid, which delivers retinoid benefits with less of the redness and peeling that typically come with them.
How many AlphaRet Peels will I need?
Many clients notice a difference after their first treatment, but a series of three or more spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart tends to produce the most noticeable change in tone and texture. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your skin.
