Chemical Peel - Chicago, IL

Exfoliate & Revitalize Your Skin

Wrinkles are simply the sign that you have lived a long and rich life, but often, they can actually make a person look older than they really are. Along with natural aging, factors like sun damage, uneven skin tone, and even certain kinds of acne can age the skin and make you lose your natural, youthful glow. Rather than going under the knife or spending thousands on unreliable lotions, the Natural Beauty Med Spa has an easy and effective treatment for turning back the clock for your skin. With a chemical peel, we can reverse the signs of aging in as little as 7 days as well as improve your skin tone and texture.

How Does a Chemical Peel Work?

A Chemical peel enhances and smoothes the texture of the skin. It is an effective treatment for facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Chemical Peels exfoliate the outer layers of dead skin, revealing a new skin layer with improved texture, tone and color. This process also encourages the growth of new tissue and stimulates the creation of collagen, which will allow your skin to heal even faster. Your skin will need a few days to heal, and after that, you'll see the dramatic results.

Depending on your particular needs, you may need to undergo a series of chemical peels in order to see your desired result. Your skin therapist will work with you to determine your treatment plan so you can enjoy healthier, more beautiful skin year-round.
