Chemical Peel - Chicago, IL

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.

There are a variety of chemical peels that may meet your needs. After evaluating your skin and discussing the results you would like to achieve, we will determine which treatment is best. We are happy to offer the following chemical peel options.

• NeoStrata Glycolic Peel: This treatment is catered to your specific needs because it comes in different intensities. This makes it ideal for all skin types while minimizing irritation.
• Lactic Peel: The natural milk acid helps stimulate hydration in your skin while exfoliating it. We often recommend it for those who have dry, sensitive skin.
