Our chemical peels in Lincoln Park aren’t all the same. For our PRX Derm Perfexion Reverse Peel, there is no recovery time since it’s specifically created to not cause your skin to peel. Both of our AlumierMD peels usually take 3-5 days to peel, and your skin may be tender as your dermis heals. Your new skin may feel tight and warm, or it may look somewhat red immediately after a treatment, but that will improve within a few days.

PRX Derm Perfexion Reverse Peel

For the Science Babes
Shot Bar’s chemical peels in Lincoln Park work in different ways. The AlumierMD Peels use a formula that lowers the pH of the skin, loosening the connections between dead skin cells, exfoliating, and stimulating new cell growth. Our PRX Derm Perfexion Reverse Peel penetrates the second layer of skin, treating your skin from the inside out. Your top layer of skin is bypassed—meaning no actual peeling occurs after your treatment.
The Play-by-Play
The Chemical Peel Process
Step 1
Consultation
First, we start with an in-person or remote consultation. A consultation allows us to get to know you, your health history, and your specific needs for your skin, health, and wellness. We answer any questions that you may have. Then, we come up with the perfect treatment plan and schedule your first session.
Step 2
Treatment
Your session for chemical peels in Lincoln Park will last about 30 minutes. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable in a treatment room and massage the peel solution into your skin, allowing it to absorb the active ingredients. We can also apply a moisturizer or the CO2Lift treatment to hydrate and prevent inflammation.
Step 3
Next Steps
The post-care instructions we give you will differ depending on the peel. If needed, we have a soothing after-care balm available for purchase that will keep your skin moisturized and help it heal faster. Your treatment plan may include post-care products to ensure your peeling results match your goals.

Questions? We've Got The Answers
Yes! We ask that you not come in for your appointment with lotions or other products on your face, including makeup. Don’t use any exfoliating products or treatments a week before your appointment, and stay out of the sun to avoid irritating your skin beforehand.
For our PRX Derm Perfexion Reverse Peel, you can wash your face immediately after treatment. But with our AlumierMD Glow Peel and AlumierMD Power Glow Peel, you’ll need to wait for 24 hours.
