Chemical Peels in Joliet, Illinois

Chemical peels are professional exfoliating treatments that use a blend of acids to remove one or more layers of the skin. They can brighten dull skin and promote a healthy, youthful glow but also treat more advanced skin concerns like melasma and aging. At Chi-Ma Med Spa, we offer The Perfect Derma Peel, a popular, non-invasive chemical peel known for its quick results.

There are many benefits to making regular chemical peels part of your skincare routine, especially for those looking to dramatically improve their skin and correct visible imperfections. Some of the treatment benefits include the following:

• Results appear within a week of initial treatment
• Each treatment is customizable
• Multiple passes can address advanced concerns
• The peel will help patients can achieve noticeably brighter skin
• The treatment is quick and only takes 15 minutes
• It can improve the appearance of acne scars
• It increases collagen and elastin production to promote youthful skin

The Perfect Derma Peel is a skin-perfecting chemical peel that contains a combination of the most powerful and effective skin-safe acids and nutrient-rich ingredients, including TCA, kojic acid, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C, phenol, and glutathione. Each treatment is completely customizable, and patients can expect to see visible improvements in their skin after just one week.

This unique formula is specifically designed to improve the skin of patients with all different skin types and tones. Our custom treatment options include:

• The Perfect Plus (boosts the action of the peel for a stronger treatment)
• The Perfect Plus Plus (uses a combination of 4% hydroquinone and 1% hydrocortisone to target hyperpigmentation)
• The Perfect Clear (uses benzoyl peroxide and hydrocortisone to treat and eliminate acne)

We can add LED therapy and dermaplaning to your chemical peel to enhance the treatment results. LED therapy uses LED lights to target common skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne. Dermaplaning is a treatment that physically exfoliates the skin using a sterile surgical scalpel. These add-ons can enhance the results of a chemical peel and address additional skin concerns during one treatment.

This chemical peel can correct some of the most common skin imperfections, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, melasma, large pores, acne scars, sun spots, and a dull or aging complexion. Each treatment builds upon the results of the previous treatment, and your skin will improve after every treatment you schedule.

Our chemical peels are quick and virtually painless. Once we apply the solution to your skin, we will leave it on for several minutes. The number of passes we perform depends on your skin type and ultimate skin care goals.

You may feel a tingling sensation upon the initial application of the peel, which subsides within the first minute of the treatment. The total treatment time is 15 minutes, and then afterward, you’ll be free to resume your normal daily activities.

After your treatment, you can resume normal daily activities, but you must be mindful of your skin and take steps to protect it. You should avoid strenuous exercise and sweating immediately following the treatment.

You should also avoid wearing makeup or topical skin care products the day of your peel. You can resume wearing makeup the day after their chemical peel. You must also wear sunscreen after your treatment to protect the newly exposed layer of skin and avoid excess sun exposure.

Some patients peel following the treatment, while others may not. Typically, peeling last for a few days and is a sign of cellular regeneration and that the peel is working to uncover a younger and healthier layer. It’s important that you don’t interfere with the peeling process and avoid picking at your skin. We will provide you with post-treatment product recommendations that you can use to keep your skin moisturized during this process.

Patients can schedule The Perfect Derma Peel monthly to prevent the dead skin cell barrier from causing a dull complexion. Monthly treatments will work together to improve the skin continuously, delay aging, and promote skin health. Most patients benefit from two to three initial treatments with four weeks between each, followed by two to four treatments each year to maintain those results and address additional skin concerns.

Patients can expect healthier-looking, brighter skin and a more even complexion after their initial treatment. The best results are visible one week after treatment, and regular treatments will promote optimal results long-term.

After completing the recommended number of treatments, you can expect your results to last a year or longer. Then, maintenance treatments will maintain your bright, glowing skin long-term, delay the aging process, and prevent the dead skin cell barrier from building up.

Patients of all different ages with unique skin concerns make good candidates for chemical peels since the treatment process can be customized to their unique skin types and concerns. The Perfect Derma Peel is safe for all skin types and ethnicities, including skin types one through six on the Fitzpatrick scale.

When you come into our office for your initial consultation, we can discuss your concerns, confirm your treatment eligibility, and then design your treatment plan so that you can experience all the benefits of The Perfect Derma Peel.
