Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Brighten • Clarify • Refresh • Physician-Selected

Medical-grade peels that reveal a smoother, fresher complexion.

A chemical peel uses a controlled acid solution to remove the damaged outer layers of skin, so fresher, more even skin can come through. At the right strength, a peel can help brighten dull skin, fade sun spots and post-acne marks, smooth fine lines and reduce breakouts. Choosing the right peel for your skin matters as much as the peel itself.

At Valoura Med Spa, peels are medical-grade and selected under physician supervision at our clinic in Savoy, a few minutes from Champaign and Urbana.

WHAT CHEMICAL PEELS TREAT

Targets:

• Pigmentation and melasma
• Sun damage and age spots
• Acne and clogged pores
• Dullness
• Fine lines and rough texture
• Mild acne scarring
• Uneven tone on the face, neck, chest and hands

TYPES OF PEELS AVAILABLE

Matched to your skin type, concern and downtime.

Valoura uses alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). The acid and strength are selected according to your skin concerns, the treatment depth you need and a clinical evaluation.

Our peels:

• Brightening peels – AHA-based, for dullness, uneven tone and sun spots
• Clarifying peels – BHA-based (salicylic acid), for clogged pores, oil and breakouts
• Resurfacing peels – for fine lines, rough texture and sun damage, with strength set at your assessment
• Peels for deeper skin tones – gentler formulations, selected after assessment to improve tone while limiting the risk of dark marks

RESULTS TIMELINE

Typical Results Timeline

Every patient is different. These are typical ranges, not a promise, and your physician will set your plan.

• Lighter peels: brighter skin often within about a week
• Stronger peels: peeling for several days; improvement often visible within 2–4 weeks
• Number of sessions and spacing: set by your physician, based on your skin and how it responds
• Sun protection: essential for at least two weeks after any peel

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Consultation: skin type, concern and history are checked (including retinoids or acne medication). Skin preparation for 1–2 weeks may be advised.
2. Treatment: skin is cleansed and the solution applied in layers. Warmth or tingling for a few minutes. About 20–30 minutes.
3. Recovery: lighter peel – pinkness for a few hours; stronger peel – redness, tightness and peeling for several days.
4. Results: brightness first, then pigmentation and texture improvement over the series.
