What you need to know about using chemical peeling treatment for facial exfoliation
Many patients in Des Plaines, Illinois, seek ways to enhance their facial skin and rejuvenate their appearance. For many, facial exfoliation treatments known as chemical peels are a reliable and effective way to get the results patients desire. Below are some frequently asked questions about chemical peeling treatments available at White Pearl Medical Spa.
What exactly is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a treatment where a special solution is applied to your face to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This helps reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath, leaving you looking radiant and healthy after you leave the office, and the changes occur over the next few weeks.
Are chemical peels painful?
Not exactly. Many patients feel a mild tingling or warmth during the procedure. It’s manageable, and your skilled provider will ensure you’re comfortable throughout your treatment.
What skin concerns can chemical peels help with?
Chemical peels can tackle a wide array of issues, such as acne, fine lines, uneven skin tone, sun damage, and even pesky dark spots. They are a great way to address skin imperfections, treating several issues with a single service.
How long is the recovery time?
It depends on the type of peel performed. For a light or superficial peel, you might have minimal to no downtime—just a bit of redness or flaking. Deeper peels may take a few days to a week for full recovery. Either way, it’s worth the wait for that glow-up you can achieve!

Almost anyone can benefit from our chemical peels, but it is best to consult a professional to ensure it’s right for your skin type and concerns. Don’t worry. We will guide you every step of the way.
How many sessions do I need to see results?
Many of our patients notice a difference after just one session! However, a series of treatments may be recommended for more significant concerns or dramatic changes to the skin.
Do I need to avoid anything after a chemical peel?
Yes! After a peel, you should avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and sweaty activities for a short while. Instead, focus on moisturizing and slathering on sunscreen to protect your fresher, newer skin and keep it healthy and clear.
