KELLY SKIN CARE

Kelly Skin Care works from a suite in Elmhurst. The menu runs from hydro facials and dermaplaning to a set of advanced peels and microneedling, and several treatments can be paired or repeated over a course of visits.

Facials are the entry point. The Deep Cleansing and Hydro Facial is an 80-minute session with microdermabrasion, a deep cleanse, a hydro facial, a customized booster serum and LED light therapy, and it is suited to first-time clients. The Dermaplaning and Hydro Facial runs 90 minutes and includes two types of serums; dermaplaning is not used on active inflamed acne. Depending on skin needs, facials may also include high frequency, microcurrent and a serum cocktail.

The advanced treatments are mostly peels. Biorepeel is a 90-minute 35% TCA peel that can be repeated every 15 days and combined with other treatments, and the salon says it delivers results without downtime. Factor Five is a 90-minute peel aimed at fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation and skin texture. Melapro Plus Cold Peel is a 90-minute oil-based peel for melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, stubborn pigmentation, age spots and sun damage, which the salon presents as a new standard for stubborn pigmentation. Green Sea Peel is a liquid microneedling treatment that resurfaces skin and helps regulate sebum. Luminfusion combines a retinol peel with LED light therapy and microcurrent in a 90-minute session.

Microneedling is a 90-minute collagen induction treatment that includes a hydro facial and can be paired with Biorepeel, Factor Five, exosomes or vitamin C. It is not suitable for active acne and is not booked for first-time clients, who begin with an analysis and a basic facial. Expect about two days of downtime, and avoid hot activities such as workouts, saunas and sweating while recovering. The salon says its facial prices stay fixed with no extra charges added. It is open Monday to Friday 10AM to 5PM and Saturday 10AM to 3PM, and Sundays by appointment only.

Facial components are chosen according to skin needs, and several advanced treatments are designed to be paired or repeated over a course.
