Chemical Peels & VI Peel

Medical-grade chemical peels at SpaDerma Lincoln Park using over 20 PCA Skin and SkinCeuticals formulations starting from $199, plus the VI Peel ($375) — a more advanced medium-depth option targeting acne, texture, aging, and pigmentation. Peels are customised at consultation to address acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Downtime ranges from zero (superficial) to five to seven days (VI Peel).

SpaDerma Lincoln Park offers a medical-grade chemical peel programme drawing on more than twenty formulations from PCA Skin and SkinCeuticals — two of the most clinically validated professional skincare brands in aesthetics — with entry-level pricing from $199 per session. Chemical peels work by applying controlled acid solutions to the skin surface that disrupt the bonds holding dead skin cells together, causing deliberate shedding of damaged outer layers and stimulating cellular renewal and, at greater depths, dermal collagen production. The extensive PCA Skin peel portfolio available at SpaDerma covers a wide range of acid types, concentrations, and skin concerns: superficial blended peels targeting congestion and acne (using salicylic acid and mandelic acid combinations); AHA-based peels targeting fine lines and textural refinement (glycolic and lactic acid); brightening peels targeting pigmentation and melasma (kojic acid, phytic acid, resorcinol combinations); and retinol-based peels for accelerated cell turnover. SkinCeuticals peels include the Pigment Balancing Peel for melanin-excess conditions and the Micro-Exfoliating Scrub Peel for surface-level congestion and brightness. The VI Peel ($375) is a more advanced medium-depth option formulated with a synergistic blend of TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. This multi-acid combination penetrates deeper into the epidermis and papillary dermis than superficial peels, producing more significant peeling (typically five to seven days of visible sloughing) in exchange for more notable improvements in skin tone, texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and pigmentation. The VI Peel is particularly popular for acne-prone and photoaged skin. All peels are selected and applied by SpaDerma's licensed estheticians or clinical staff following a skin consultation to match the formulation to the patient's Fitzpatrick type, sensitivity, and primary concern. Post-peel care includes broad-spectrum sun protection and a prescribed home-care routine to support healing and maximise results.
