We offer a variety of chemical peel solutions designed to brighten your skin and even address acne breakouts.

Who Can Benefit from Chemical Peels?

Individuals in the Elk Grove Village area seek our chemical peel treatments for a range of skin concerns, including mild acne, the buildup of dead skin cells, a dull or lackluster complexion, uneven pigmentation, and more. Our experienced and medically trained cosmetic professionals have successfully treated a diverse range of skin types. We encourage you to discuss your specific concerns with our providers to determine if a chemical peel is right for you.

Our Specialized Chemical Peel Procedures

Chemical peels are liquid solutions that vary in strength, with higher concentrations of acid penetrating the skin’s surface at deeper levels. The specific type of peel we recommend will depend on the particular skin issue you wish to address. At Schaumburg Dermatology, we specialize in chemical peels that target common skin concerns:

Salicylic Acid Peel

This beta-hydroxy acid peel is considered a light and mild option. It’s our go-to treatment for effectively clearing congested pores, reducing inflammation, combating bacteria that contribute to acne, and brightening the overall complexion. A significant advantage of the salicylic acid peel is the minimal to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. For optimal results, treatments are typically performed once a month, with the total number of treatments depending on the specific skin condition being addressed. Ideal candidates for this peel include individuals with mild acne, congested skin, and uneven skin tone.

Preparing for Your Chemical Peel

Preparing for your chemical peel at our Schaumburg office, a short drive from Elk Grove Village, is a straightforward process. The initial step involves determining the most appropriate peel strength for your skin, which is established during a comprehensive Cosmetic Consultation. At this visit, one of our skilled cosmetic professionals will conduct a thorough skin assessment and develop a detailed care plan tailored to your needs. This plan will include specific pre- and post-care instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible results from your peel. We will also recommend a personalized skincare regimen to help prepare your skin optimally for the treatment.

Recovery After Your Chemical Peel

The duration of any potential downtime after a chemical peel will depend on the type of peel you receive and your individual skin type. With lighter peels like salicylic acid, you may experience light peeling or flaking of the skin approximately two days following the treatment. Optimal results are typically noticeable within 5 to 7 days after your peel. To maintain a fresh and radiant glow, light chemical peels are generally recommended on a monthly basis.

During the recovery period for any chemical peel, you will follow a customized skincare regimen designed for your skin type to promote faster healing and enhance the longevity of your results. It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure during the initial recovery phase after a peel. Once the peeling has subsided and your skin has fully healed, you can gradually reintroduce sun exposure, always remembering to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your newly rejuvenated skin. The primary goal of a chemical peel is to remove damaged, dead skin cells from the surface, revealing fresh, new skin underneath for a brighter and more youthful complexion, so diligent protection is key.

Chemical Peel Pricing

To achieve the best possible results for your specific skin concerns, multiple chemical peel treatments or a combination of peels and targeted skincare products may be recommended.
