That is what took me to the True Skin Care Center for a chemical peel. The True Skin Care center is found within the offices of Dr. Steven Dayan, a facial plastic surgeon. This allows the estheticians to use products and procedures that can only be used in a doctor’s office, so you know you’re getting a more effective treatment than you might find in a spa setting.

The procedure I had was a mild, multivitamin chemical peel, that took a very relaxing 45 minutes, and costs about $100. My esthetician, Amy, took great care of me and during the procedure she asked lots of questions about my skin and the problems I was having (dry, pink spots and minor breakouts), and gave me some advice and tips on how to take better care of my skin as I get older. She even sent me home with some great samples!

Now for the review: First, the experience itself is wonderful - like a massage for the face. The esthetic suites are warm and comfortable, and the obligatory relaxing music is playing in the background. You can even start out with a cup of tea beforehand, if you like. About 15 minutes into it, I was completely hooked. During and immediately after the peel, I could feel changes in my skin. That night, when I washed my face, I noticed it was clearer and brighter. Over the next day or two, the red spots went away and a week later all dryness was gone. When the harsh Chicago winter starts taking its toll on my skin come January and February, I’m sure I’ll be making another visit to the True Skin Care Center.

Beyond the multivitamin peel that I had, True Skin Care offers a wide range of treatments and procedures including microdermabrasion, all types of facials (from acne treatment to maintenance facials), waxing, lip hydration therapy, purifying back treatments, and lash and brow tinting.

In addition, Dr. Dayan’s practice offers a full range of procedures, including non-surgical (such as Botox), and surgical (such as rhinoplasty). Basically, the Center offers the treatments you want to keep you looking younger, whether it’s a soothing facial or a complete face lift!
