Chemical Peels
Whether you are new to the skincare game or are a seasoned veteran, you’ve likely heard about the importance of exfoliation in a skincare routine. Shedding dead skin cells is a natural part of your skin’s cycling process, but without proper removal and turnover, dead skin cells can negatively impact your skincare goals. There are two different methods of exfoliation – physical and chemical, and today we’re highlighting the undeniable benefits of chemical exfoliation both at home, and in our Neenah med spa.
What are chemical peels?
We get it, the word “chemical” can sound intense. However, rest assured that modern day chemical peel formulations are tailored to be extremely gentle while also making a powerful impact on your skin. While chemical peels are most commonly utilized for the face, neck, and decollete regions, chemical peels can also be used on other parts of the body to speed up skin turnover and pack a punch with top-notch formulas addressing a variety of concerns.
There are many types of chemical peels on the market to target various problems such as:
- acne
- discoloration
- fine lines
- hyperpigmentation
- melasma
- rosacea
- sun damage
Our Licensed Aesthetician Katelyn works with each patient to determine the best chemical peel option for them based on their unique skin type and goals. Our staff has personally tried each and every chemical peel used in office. Illumatox offers top of the line chemical peels to target your skin concerns using the best medical grade products in the game. Let’s dive into the best of the best.

The SkinBetter Peel is a great choice for those who want to get a peel without having to actually peel. This is a great “beginner” peel. This service provides exfoliating and brightening results with minimal downtime. This peel may cause some dryness with mild skin flaking possible. The majority of cellular turnover with this peel occurs microscopically, thus eliminating the peeling of skin, while still delivering results.

It uses a safe and effective blend of acids and antioxidants to improve skin tone, texture, hyperpigmentation, acne, sun damage, and more. This is our “most intense peel”, however, it has very little discomfort with application. This peel does result in a full peel or shed of the top layer of skin for most people. Peeling generally starts 2-3 days after the peel and is typically done by day 7 post-peel. After peeling is complete, patients are left with fresh, glowy skin. This peel is also the only peel on the market to contain glutathione, an amazing antioxidant for the skin. This peel may be done as a stand alone treatment, or as a series, depending on individual concerns and skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chemical peels are safe for most people, but it's important to consult with a medical professional or licensed aesthetician before undergoing the procedure. Generally, those with fair skin and light hair are better candidates for chemical peels, as darker skin tones may be at risk for hyperpigmentation. Candidates should also not have any active breakouts or open wounds on their face.
Like any cosmetic procedure, there are some risks and potential side effects associated with chemical peels. These may include redness, irritation, swelling, and peeling of the skin. In rare cases, scarring or infection may occur. It's important to follow post-peel care instructions provided by your medical professional or aesthetician to minimize these risks.
The results of a chemical peel may vary depending on the type of peel used and individual skin conditions. Some people may see immediate results, while others may require multiple treatments for optimal results. Typically, the skin will appear smoother, brighter, and more even-toned after a chemical peel. However, it's important to continue proper skincare and sun protection practices to maintain the results of the peel. Overall, visible improvements can usually be seen within a few days to a week after the procedure.
