An unsurpassed standard in the treatment of different skin conditions, Medical Grade Chemical Peels, from light to deep peels, keep producing the best results over and over, in multiple case scenarios. During their stay in Detroit, and guided by Empire Medical experts, attendees will study the difference between medical grade cosmeceuticals, over-the-counter skin care products, and the popular “day spa” peel, while learning the various skin classifications in treating different patients according to their specific needs.

  • Acne Scarring
  • Linear and Boxcar scars
  • Skin Laxity/UV damage
  • Decollete Rejuvenation
  • Stubborn static wrinkles (rhytids)
