Overview

What Are Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel is a non-invasvie cosmetic treatment that resurfaces the skin by removing its outermost layers. It uses a carefully chosen solution (acid-based) to trigger cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, and encourage new, healthier skin to emerge.

At Elysium Chicago, we offer light, medium, and deep peels tailored to your skin goals and lifestyle. These treatments can improve issues like rough patches, acne scars, sun damage, discoloration, and early signs of aging.

Treatment

What You Can Expect

Personalized
Consultation

Your provider will begin with a skin analysis to determine which peel formulation and strength are best suited for your concerns. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, goals, and any recent treatments or skin sensitivities.

Comfortable
Application

The treatment begins with a thorough cleanse. A customized chemical solution is then applied to the skin, where it sits briefly to dissolve damaged layers. Depending on the formula, a neutralizing solution may follow. Most peels are complete within 30–45 minutes.

Gradual
Results

Post-treatment, expect mild redness and flaking for a few days (light peels) or more pronounced peeling and sensitivity (medium/deep peels). Results begin to show within 5–10 days as new skin is revealed. You’ll be given detailed aftercare to support healing and glow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of chemical peel is right for me?

We’ll guide you based on your skin condition, sensitivity, and recovery goals. Many first-time clients start with light peels and progress as needed.

Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion?

Peels use acids to remove damaged layers, while dermabrasion mechanically exfoliates. We’ll help determine which is better for your concerns during your consultation.

Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?

Mild tingling or warmth is normal during the procedure. Deeper peels may cause more temporary discomfort. We’ll apply soothing products and provide care tips to minimize irritation.
