Peels Explained

Applied topically, a chemical peel promotes the removal of dead skin cells, stimulates new cells, and encourages the regeneration of collagen. We refer to this as “chemical” exfoliation because it is the peel product itself that sloughs off the outer layers rather than a physical exfoliation. With a series of peels, the skin will begin to show its former luster that has been lost with the effects age, sun damage, and environmental pollutants. Chemical peels are a versatile treatment and provide one of the best cost-to-benefit ratios of all cosmetic services. You can reverse the signs of aging progressively without having to undergo an aggressive treatment. In addition, chemical peels address a multitude of skin issues with minimal downtime.

Peels are classified by their ability to penetrate through tissue:

  • Light or superficial peels – only penetrate to the epidermis
  • Medium peels – these peels penetrate through the epidermis
  • Deep peels – penetrates into the dermis; these are very strong peels with significant downtime

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer at Elite Med Spa Berwyn

We offer a range of professional chemical peels in Berwyn IL, each designed for specific skin concerns — from acne to hyperpigmentation and fine lines. Our team will help you choose the right peel based on your skin type, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

Lactic Acid Peel for Sensitive Skin (Light Peel)

A Lactic Acid Peel is a gentle, light peel ideal for first-time peelers and clients with sensitive skin. This Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) peel helps brighten the skin and improve hydration while supporting gentle exfoliation. It’s especially effective at retaining moisture and improving tone without causing noticeable peeling.

This peel can be added to a HydraFacial MD treatment for a hydrating glow with no downtime.

Salicylic Acid Peel for Acne-Prone Skin (Light Peel)

Our Salicylic Peel is perfect for oily, thick, or acne-prone skin. This Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) breaks down excess oil while exfoliating both the outer skin and inside the pores. It helps reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammation. A series of 3 peels is recommended for optimal results.

  • Can also be added to your customized HydraFacial to boost its acne-fighting benefits.
  • Expect mild flaking post-treatment.

Glycolic Acid Peel for Aging and Hyperpigmentation

A favorite for mature skin, our Glycolic Acid Peel penetrates more deeply than lactic acid and is ideal for treating sun damage, age spots, and dullness. As an AHA, glycolic acid improves cell turnover, reduces fine lines, and boosts collagen.

  • We recommend a series of 4–6 treatments for the best results.
  • Minimal to no peeling is expected.
  • Works beautifully alongside SkinPen Microneedling for advanced skin rejuvenation.

SkinMedica Vitalize Peel for Acne, Discoloration & Sun Damage

The Vitalize Peel is a light to medium-depth treatment that addresses pigment issues, photo damage, and acne scarring. It’s stronger than glycolic or salicylic acid peels but still safe for most skin types. This peel stimulates cell turnover and smooths texture while brightening the skin tone.

  • Great for clients with hyperpigmentation, oily skin, or frequent breakouts.
  • A series of 3 peels is typically recommended.
  • Expect mild to moderate shedding with a social downtime of 3–5 days.
  • Often paired with Botox or dermal fillers for a full-face transformation.

TCA Peel in Berwyn IL for Melasma, Wrinkles & Deep Pigmentation

The TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel is our most powerful option for deep resurfacing and cellular rejuvenation. While not technically a “deep” peel (it doesn’t reach the dermis), it penetrates significantly deeper than superficial peels and treats more complex concerns.

Effective for:

  • Melasma

  • Sun damage

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Enlarged pores

  • Acne scarring

This peel promotes collagen and elastin production to tighten and re-texturize the skin. We offer various TCA strengths depending on your needs.

  • Downtime: 7–10 days
  • Expect visible peeling and flaking
  • Best results seen over time with customized post-care

Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Peels in Berwyn IL

Peels generate chemical exfoliation to remove the skin’s aged outer layers and reveal fresh, new skin with improvement to fine lines, skin tone and texture, and scarring while stimulating collagen production. A series of peels will be tailored to your individual needs and comfort level to allow your skin to rebuild itself naturally.

Chemical peels are generally well tolerated. During application, there may be a slight feeling of itching or stinging, but with a cooling fan, there is little to no discomfort. During the next several days as your skin begins to shed its old outer layers, there is no sensation involved with this natural peeling process.

The number of recommended peels depends on your individual needs. Most patients begin to see results after the first treatment. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 spaced about a month apart is recommended.

Peels reveal younger-looking skin and offer a non-invasive solution to the signs of aging, including fine lines, uneven skin tone, scarring sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

Downtime depends on the type of chemical peel you receive. With a medium peel, you should expect a social down time (peeling and some redness) of 3 to10 days. Minimal sun exposure for 3 weeks after a peel is recommended.

While not all peels are good for all skin types, South Florida’s chemical peel experts at Elite Med Spa have a variety of beneficial peel options to choose from to recommend the best type for your needs.
