The Treatment
The "Red Carpet" Glow—For Your Back
The skin on your back is thick and can be stubborn, which is why a basic scrub usually doesn't move the needle. The Back Stimulator Peel (by ZO® Skin Health) uses a "triple-threat" blend of Glycolic, Lactic, and Citric acids to dissolve the dead cell buildup that makes your skin look dull. It’s a biological "reboot" that tells your skin to start acting younger, smoother, and clearer immediately. The best part? You get the "wow" factor of a chemical peel without the week of "shedding."
At Essence Medspa, we’ve taken this physician-directed treatment and turned it into a results-driven ritual. It’s the perfect mix of "clinical-strength" and "sanctuary-chilling."
- The Instant Brightener Deletes the "gray" cast of dead skin and reveals a vibrant, reflective glow.
- Pigment Correction Helps to blur and fade the dark spots and sun damage left behind from Chicago summers.
- Texture Architect Physically smooths out "orange peel" roughness and fine lines for a satin-soft finish.
- Pore Purifying Dissolves the oil and debris that leads to congestion and breakouts before they even start.
Your Experience
The Four-Phase Ritual
02
The Pirming
A medical-grade deep cleanse to strip away surface oil so the peel can penetrate deep into the follicles.
03
The Stimulation
The peel solution is applied in precise layers. You'll feel a brief, active "spice" while the acids do their work.

The Recovery
We neutralize the peel and flood the skin with calming antioxidants and a DNA-repair shield.
Body Wellness FAQs
Before You Restore
Every body wellness protocol is refined around your skin, body goals, and comfort level. These treatment-specific notes come directly from the body wellness guide for this service.
Will I actually peel?
Nope! That’s why it’s called the "Lunchtime Peel." It works at a cellular level, so while you’re getting a deep exfoliation, it’s microscopic. No "sheeting" or "flaking"—just an immediate glow.
Does it hurt?
During Phase III, you’ll feel a warm, tingly sensation (the "spice"). It usually lasts about 60 seconds. We use cooling tools and a fan to make sure it’s totally manageable.
Is it safe for all skin types?
100%. The Stimulator Peel is one of the safest medical-grade peels for every skin tone, from very fair to very deep, without the risk of post-peel pigment issues.
Can I go to the gym after?
We recommend waiting 24 hours before any heavy sweating or steam. Let those fresh skin cells settle into their new glow first!
How often should I book?
For serious tonal correction, once every 2–4 weeks for a series of 4 is the gold standard. For maintenance, once a season keeps your back looking airbrushed.
