What does
Personalized Chem Peel Facial
target?

Uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, acne, fine lines, dullness, and patients who need resurfacing that goes beyond a standard facial. This peel is customized using glycolic, salicylic, TCA, retinol, or other acids matched to your skin type and tolerance.

How does
Personalized Chem Peel Facial
work?

After a thorough skin assessment and cleanse, your esthetician selects a personalized chemical solution and applies it to the skin. The acids dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating exfoliation and stimulating fresh cell turnover beneath. Peel strength, duration, and acid combination are all adjusted based on your skin's response.

Why choose
Personalized Chem Peel Facial
at Better Med Spa?

We don't use a single peel formula for every patient. Your esthetician evaluates your skin, considers your history with acids, and builds the peel in real time. That's the level of customization you should expect from a chemical peel. Lincoln Park.

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 Personalized Chem Peel facial uses a tailored blend of exfoliating ingredients chosen just for you, effectively addressing your unique skin concerns. Reveal a clearer, brighter, and more radiant complexion with this customized treatment.

How It Works

The process begins with a thorough skin assessment by a skincare professional to identify your specific needs, such as texture issues, discoloration, acne, or signs of aging. During the treatment, your skin is cleansed and prepped, and a personalized chemical solution—containing ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or retinoic acid—is applied. This solution works to exfoliate dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and reveal healthier, more radiant skin underneath. The solution remains on the skin for a precise duration before being neutralized and removed, followed by soothing topical agents and sun protection.

What It Targets

A personalized chemical peel facial effectively addresses a wide variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
