Overview
What are ProFractional® Resurfacing Laser Resurfacing Treatments?
A chemical peel works by applying a specially formulated solution to the skin that gently exfoliates the outer layers. Depending on the strength of the peel—light, medium, or deep—this process can improve everything from mild dullness to more significant pigmentation and textural concerns.
At Elysium Chicago, our expert providers select the right peel type and depth to address your unique needs while ensuring your safety and comfort.
