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.
