Chemical Peel in Tinley Park, IL
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are skin resurfacing treatments that present optimal results for smoother skin. VCI Med Spa provides you with different types of chemical peels, including the VI Peel and iS Clinical Prodigy Peel. Your professional chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids) will give you healthier, more radiant skin. At our Tinley Park, IL practice, our expert skin care team offers chemical peel treatments that resolve skin flaws, like scars, fine lines, wrinkles, dry patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Chemical peels remove dead, damaged skin cells with the application of an individualized treatment on your skin, which causes the top layer to peel off. When your skin heals and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you should see a clearer, smoother complexion. This nonsurgical procedure will help make your skin more luminous and is appropriate for the face, neck, and décollatage. Schedule you free Virtual Consultation today!
What Happens During a Chemical Peel?
To administer your chemical peel at VCI Med Spa, we will make sure your skin is cleaned before applying a personalized solution to your face, neck, or both. We will brush the solution onto the skin and let it work for an appropriate length of time, which will be discussed in your chemical peel consultation. Next, we will wash the solution off your face and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients may want to bring sunscreen and a hat to wear outside following the peel to protect against UV exposure.
VI Peels: This treatment creates a clearer, smoother complexion, dissolving dead or damaged skin cells using a special blend of minerals that prompts the skin to repair itself. The upper layers of the skin will begin to peel away, resulting in smoother fine lines and wrinkles and diminished blemishes. The heaviest peeling occurs between days 3 – 5. Peeling should be complete by day seven. We offer the following chemical peels: VI Peel Original, Advanced, Precision Plus, Purify, Purify with Precision Plus, and Body Peels.
iS Clinical Prodigy Peel: This pharmaceutical-grade peel is safe for all skin types. The three-step chemical peel features an advanced form of salicylic acid that peels back superficial and medium-depth layers of the skin to diminish blemishes, resulting in a vibrant and more youthful complexion. This peel targets the signs of aging, mild acne, hyperpigmentation, skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

How much does a chemical peel cost?
Dr. Tanquilut can talk about your costs in your consultation once he has made your custom treatment plan. Costs for a chemical peel can vary depending on the formula you get. VCI Med Spa accepts several payment methods, and we often run specials on skin treatments like chemical peels. Buying a package with several chemical peel treatments can also help you save money.
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will vary based on your specific skin needs and aesthetic goals. During your initial consultation with Dr. Tanquilut, he can help you select which peel is right for your skin. A few things you may consider are your overall health, your skin type, the depth of your skin concerns, how long you can spend in recovery, and what concerns you have about the appearance of your skin. Initially, it is better to start with a lighter chemical peel and decide how you like the results. From there, you and Dr. Tanquilut might alter your plan to find the best type of peel for your skin.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Depending on the peel used, you might have some discomfort while it is actively treating your skin. If you get a lighter peel, you will probably feel a little stinging; however, this can be alleviated with a handheld fan. Medium and deep peels are good for deeper skin issues and offer results that last a long time; however, they typically are more uncomfortable. Numbing cream, skin medications, and soothing ointments may be applied to help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. Dr. Tanquilut or a member of his team will discuss how to care for your skin after a peel to extend your results.
Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
For even greater improvements to your skin, you may combine a chemical peel with another nonsurgical skin treatment at VCI Med Spa. In your initial consultation, be open with Dr. Tanquilut about your skin concerns so he can create a unique treatment plan to achieve your goals. This may include injectable wrinkle treatments along with your chemical peel to refresh your entire appearance.
