What are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a noninvasive technique to improve the radiance of the skin on the face, neck, and décollatage. Chemical peels remove damaged, dead skin cells by applying a special treatment on your skin, which causes the visible layer to slough off. The treatment can vary in strength, depending on which chemical exfoliating solutions are used (such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acids) to reveal smoother, healthier skin. At Elysium SurgiSpa, our team offers chemical peel treatments that help to decrease skin flaws, such as scars, wrinkles, fine lines, dry patches, hyperpigmentation, and more. Schedule a consultation at our office in Chicago, IL to learn more about chemical peels and other aesthetic treatments.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?
A team member at Elysium SurgiSpa will assess your skin in an exam in our Chicago, IL office before choosing a chemical peel for optimal results. On the day of your procedure at Elysium SurgiSpa, we will cleanse your skin before applying the personalized solution to the face, neck, or both. We will massage the solution onto your face and allow it to sit for a specific length of time. Next, we will wash the solution off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients should bring sunscreen or a hat to wear outside after the treatment to avoid environmental exposure. Depending on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you can expect your skin to peel and itch from several days to a couple of weeks. To allow your skin to heal and avoid any scarring, it's important to avoid picking at your face during the healing process. Once your skin has healed, you should notice a more even texture and a more radiant glow.
