Chemical Peels in Chicago

Medical-grade peels that reveal brighter, smoother, healthier skin, customized to your skin type and concern at our Streeterville med spa.

Medical-grade chemical peels in Chicago

A chemical peel resurfaces the skin with a professional-strength solution that lifts away damaged outer layers, revealing brighter, smoother, more even skin underneath. At Skin Laser & MedSpa in Streeterville, we use medical-grade peels to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, and uneven texture, with the formula and strength matched to your skin at a free consultation.

Unlike at-home exfoliation, our medium-depth peels reach deep enough to make a visible difference while staying safe for every skin type. Here are the peels we offer and how to choose between them.

Types of chemical peels we offer

VI Peel. The number one medical-grade peel in the industry, with five-plus formulas targeting acne, melasma, aging skin, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring. Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, with visible results in about a week.

ZO Stimulator Peel. A zero-downtime "lunchtime" peel that dissolves dead skin cells and leaves an immediate, healthy glow with no visible peeling. Ideal before an event or as ongoing maintenance every two weeks.

Body peels. A stronger formula built for thicker skin on the bikini area, knees, elbows, and underarms, targeting hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, and discoloration.

Which peel is right for you?

Peel Best for Downtime
VI Peel Acne, melasma, hyperpigmentation, aging skin 3 to 5 days of light flaking
ZO Stimulator Glow, maintenance, pre-event refresh None
Body Peel Bikini, knees, elbows, underarms Peeling begins 7 to 10 days after

Conditions chemical peels treat

What to expect

A peel takes about 30 minutes to apply. With a medium-depth peel like the VI Peel, light flaking begins around day three and lasts three to five days; you moisturize through it and return to normal activities right away. By day seven, expect a brighter tone and noticeably smoother texture. The ZO Stimulator has no downtime at all.

Pricing & specials

Chemical peel pricing depends on the peel and how many areas you treat. Most clients see the best value in a series or a membership, and we build the plan around your goals at your free consultation. See this month's specials for current offers.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Peels

How much do chemical peels cost in Chicago?

Pricing depends on the peel type and how many areas you treat. We set the plan at your free consultation and often bundle peels into a series or membership for the best value. Ask about current specials when you book.

Which chemical peel is right for my skin?

It depends on your concern and skin type. The VI Peel is our most popular medical-grade option for acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and aging skin. The ZO Stimulator Peel is a zero-downtime lunchtime option, and body peels target areas like the bikini line, knees, and elbows. We match the formula to your skin at your consultation.

How much downtime does a chemical peel need?

Light peels like the ZO Stimulator have essentially no downtime. Medium-depth peels such as the VI Peel involve light flaking that begins around day three and lasts three to five days. Most people return to normal activities right away and simply moisturize through the peeling period.

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. The peels we use, including the VI Peel, are safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types when performed by trained providers. We tailor the formula and strength to your skin to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.

How often should I get a chemical peel?

For most concerns, a series of three to six peels spaced a few weeks apart gives the best results, followed by maintenance peels every few months. The ZO Stimulator Peel can be repeated every two weeks.
