What does
Green Sea Peel (Liquid Microneedling)
target?

Rough texture, dullness, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and signs of aging. The Green Sea Peel works especially well for patients who want meaningful resurfacing without the sensitivity risks of traditional chemical peels.

How does
Green Sea Peel (Liquid Microneedling)
work?

Natural marine spicules are massaged into the skin, creating micro-channels similar to microneedling but without a device. These tiny structures embed in the upper layers of skin and trigger a controlled healing response over 3-5 days, accelerating cell turnover and pushing out damaged tissue. New, smoother skin emerges as the old layer sheds.

Why choose
Green Sea Peel (Liquid Microneedling)
at Better Med Spa?

We carry the Green Sea Peel for patients who want real resurfacing results with a natural approach. Your esthetician evaluates your skin and adjusts the treatment intensity based on your tolerance and goals. It's one of the most versatile peels in our Lincoln Park facial menu.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

Signature from Annie Y.

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

I'll be back again."

The Green Sea Peel is a natural, acid-free facial that uses marine spicules to gently exfoliate, renew, and revitalize your skin without irritation. Experience smoother texture and boosted collagen for a fresh, radiant complexion.

How It Works

The process starts with a thorough consultation to evaluate your skin’s needs, whether you’re concerned with texture, pigmentation, acne, or signs of aging. After cleansing and prepping the skin, the practitioner gently massages a blend of natural marine spicules and botanicals into your face. These spicules create micro-channels, triggering the body’s natural healing processes. This action boosts cellular turnover, stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, increases circulation, and helps nutrients penetrate deeply. After the peel is left on for a set period, it’s rinsed away, and calming creams are applied.

What It Targets

A Green Sea Peel is effective for a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Rough, uneven skin texture and tone
  • Hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and melasma
  • Enlarged or congested pores
  • Acne and post-acne marks
  • Dull or tired skin
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging​

It’s also suitable for sensitive and melanin-rich skin, and is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it contains no synthetic acids or harsh chemicals.

Benefits

The Green Sea Peel offers several advantages, such as:

  • Gentle, natural exfoliation without acids or chemicals​
  • Smoother, more refined, and radiant skin texture​
  • Dramatically improved brightness and clarity​
  • Reduction of hyperpigmentation, melasma, and acne-related marks​
  • Pore refinement and reduced breakouts​
  • Collagen stimulation for firmer, plumper, and more resilient skin​
  • Minimal downtime—expect some flaking or tightness for several days after treatment​

This plant-powered treatment provides a natural, healthy “reset” for your complexion with little recovery time and long-lasting results.
