Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing dull skin, stubborn acne scars, sun damage, or fine lines staring back at you? You deserve a complexion that looks as fresh and vibrant as you feel, and a professional chemical peel can help you get there.
At Old Town Med Spa, Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi lead a team of Licensed Aestheticians who deliver advanced skin care treatments to thousands of patients across Chicago. With board certifications in Aesthetic Medicine and more than a decade of clinical experience, the MD Brothers bring trusted expertise to every skin care treatment plan.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a customized solution to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface. As old, damaged cells slough away, healthy new cells rise to the surface, revealing smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin. Peels can be applied to the face, neck, and hands, making them one of the most versatile treatments in our skin care menu.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
A peel can address multiple skin concerns in a single, comfortable visit. Common benefits include:
-
Cleansing and deeply exfoliating the skin
-
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Fading acne scars, sun spots, and discoloration
-
Smoothing rough texture and unclogging pores
-
Boosting cellular renewal for a radiant, healthier glow
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Chemical peels are appropriate for most skin types and tones. They are especially helpful if you are dealing with uneven pigmentation, breakouts, dullness, or early signs of aging. During your consultation, one of our Licensed Aestheticians will evaluate your skin and recommend the right peel strength, whether you want a light refresh or a more transformative one.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a thorough cleanse and a quick skin assessment. The selected peel solution is then applied evenly to the treatment area, where it dissolves dead skin cells. You may feel a brief tingling or warmth, which is completely normal. The session is typically quick, so it fits easily into a busy Chicago schedule.
Recovery and Results
Downtime depends on the strength of your peel. Light peels often produce a healthy glow with little to no peeling, while deeper peels may cause flaking for several days as new skin emerges. Most clients see brighter, smoother skin within a week, and results continue to improve with a recommended series. A consistent routine and daily SPF will help protect your skin and prolong your results.
