Top Hyperpigmentation Facial Treatment in Chicago
If hyperpigmentation is dimming your skin’s natural glow, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. At Lulu Beauty Spa, we’ve dedicated years to helping clients overcome the relentless struggle against uneven skin tone. Our tailored treatments promise not only to lighten those pesky dark spots but also to restore your radiant complexion.
Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin—the pigment responsible for skin color—forms deposits in the skin. This can result from a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scars, and aging. And while it can be a source of frustration, it’s important to remember that effective treatment is available.
Introducing the Shikimic Plus Peel
Our signature solution to hyperpigmentation is the Lira Clinical Shikimic Plus Peel. This treatment stands out for its gentle yet powerful approach to fading dark spots and revealing a fresher, more even-toned appearance.
Ingredients and Benefits
The Shikimic Plus Peel is formulated with shikimic acid, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and retinol-mimicking peptides. Here’s why this blend works wonders:
- Shikimic Acid: Extracted from star anise, this ingredient offers mild exfoliation and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
- AHAs: Known for their ability to exfoliate the skin’s surface, AHAs promote cell turnover, which helps reduce pigmentation over time.
- Retinol-Mimicking Peptides: These support skin rejuvenation and target signs of aging without the harsh effects of traditional retinoids.
Recommended Treatment Plan
For optimum results, we recommend 4 to 6 sessions of the Shikimic Plus Peel, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. This schedule allows your skin to gradually adjust and repair, leading to more lasting improvements. For maintenance, treatments every few months will keep your complexion vibrant and even.
Downtime and Aftercare
While the Shikimic Plus Peel is gentle, you might experience light flaking or peeling starting 24 to 36 hours post-treatment. This is normal and usually lasts between 2 and 7 days. However, even if peeling doesn’t occur, rest assured that your skin is still benefitting. Post-care is crucial and includes:
- Hydration: Keep your skin moisturized to support healing.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use mild products to avoid irritation.
- Sun Protection: Shield your skin from UV rays for at least 48 hours after treatment to prevent further pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the treatment make my skin worse before it gets better?
It’s common for some peeling or flaking to occur as dead skin cells shed, but this is a sign of the treatment working. Your skin is making way for fresh, new cells, and after this phase, you should notice a significant improvement.
Is the Shikimic Plus Peel suitable for all skin types?
Yes, the gentle formulation of the Shikimic Plus Peel makes it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and tailor the treatment to meet your needs.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients begin to see improvements after a few sessions. However, patience and consistency are key. Regular treatments and proper aftercare will yield the best results.
The journey to improving skin through treatments such as the Shikimic Plus Peel often requires time and consistency. This is due to the skin’s natural regeneration cycle, which usually spans about 28 days. Throughout this period, the skin is constantly shedding and renewing itself.
The treatment works gradually by gently accelerating this cycle to promote the turnover of damaged skin cells. Regular application allows the active ingredients to penetrate effectively, stimulating cell renewal and revealing healthier skin.
Additionally, deep-set pigmentation issues or longstanding skin conditions may take longer to address, requiring multiple sessions to achieve noticeable results. Consistent care and patience ensure that each phase of the skin’s renewal process contributes to a transformed and vibrant appearance.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 48 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to breathe and heal. Focus on hydration and sun protection during this period.
