Light treatments are what clinicians prescribe for rough, dry skin that needs exfoliation. They can also help to even out pigmentation where there are dark patches or mottled effects. Over the course of several sessions, fresh, healthier skin is uncovered by an application of alphahydroxy acid, which is safe for many people to use.

Medium chemical peels can be used on facial or other body tissue to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, sun-damaged pigments or age spots. Some acne scarring can also be minimized. This procedure uses trichloroacetic acid to slough off the outer tissue to a depth determined by the esthetician. Light and medium peels can take an hour or less.

A deep facial chemical treatment requires longer applications (up to two hours) of a different, stronger substance. Phenol or carbolic acid works on more deeply etched wrinkles and pigmentation abnormalities, and can be effective on precancerous growths. The results are longer-lasting but require a week's recovery time, as opposed to the lighter treatments. In Chicago and Oakbrook, NuU Medspa offers professional guidance and care at reasonable prices.
