Chemical Peels

Chemical peels at Hudson Facial Plastic Surgery are priced at $300–$350 per session and address skin tone irregularities, fine lines, mild pigmentation, and rough texture. Acid formulations exfoliate the outer skin layers and stimulate cellular renewal. Performed in-office with no anesthesia, peels are available as a standalone treatment or complement to the practice's surgical and injectable services.

Chemical peel treatments at Hudson Facial Plastic Surgery offer Chicago patients a clinically controlled approach to skin resurfacing without the downtime associated with surgical or laser procedures. Priced between $300 and $350 per session, the peels use acid formulations — typically alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at concentrations appropriate for the patient's skin type, concern, and tolerance — to remove the outer layers of skin in a controlled manner, triggering accelerated cellular turnover and revealing fresher, more evenly pigmented skin beneath. Indications addressed include uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, fine surface lines, mild acne and post-inflammatory marks, rough or dull texture, and sun damage. Superficial peels carry minimal downtime — light flaking for a few days — while medium-depth peels may involve more significant peeling over five to seven days. At a facial plastic surgery practice, chemical peels serve an important role in maintaining and extending surgical results. They are commonly used in the months following facelift or blepharoplasty to improve skin quality and even tone as the face heals, and are appropriate as a standalone anti-aging or complexion treatment for patients not yet considering surgical options. The practice's Old Town Triangle location at 1640 N Wells St, Unit 207, is close to Chicago's Lincoln Park and Gold Coast neighborhoods and easily reached by the Sedgwick CTA station on the Brown and Purple lines. Dr. Hudson's team advises on sequencing peels with injectables, microneedling, and surgery during the $100 initial consultation.
