What Is CO2 Skin Resurfacing?
At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we pride ourselves on offering some of the most cutting-edge options for skin rejuvenation in Chicago, IL. One of those options is CO2 skin resurfacing using the Alma Hybrid® system. This groundbreaking technology is the first of its kind to combine an ablative CO2 laser with a non-ablative 1570nm laser to stimulate your body's production of collagen without the risk of damaging the top layer of your skin. Alma Hybrid can treat a wide range of concerns, including age spots, roughness, sagging, scars, and more. On top of that, the Hybrid laser gives Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our team an unparalleled level of control over your resurfacing treatment, making it a great option for most types of skin. To learn more about CO2 skin resurfacing with Alma Hybrid, reach out to our friendly team and schedule your private consultation.
How Does CO2 Skin Resurfacing Work?
Your CO2 skin resurfacing treatment at our Chicago, IL practice will start with the application of a numbing cream to the treatment area to reduce any discomfort you may feel. If you're still concerned about any potential pain, we also offer Pro-Nox™ to help keep you relaxed and comfortable. Once you're ready, we'll slowly pass the Alma Hybrid applicator over your skin, heating up the lower layers to stimulate collagen production for lasting rejuvenation. Depending on the details of your treatment, we may use multiple wavelengths of light to address various skin imperfections on the surface. Afterward, you can expect your skin to be pink and sensitive, similar to a light sunburn. This will pass, but you can stay comfortable using over-the-counter painkillers and cold compresses. As the collagen in your skin goes to work, you'll start to notice a more refreshed complexion with improvements in the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and other concerns.
What Are the Benefits of CO2 Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 resurfacing at Iteld Plastic Surgery offers a nonsurgical solution for patients who want to address a variety of skin issues with benefits that include:
- Boosts production of collagen for natural rejuvenation
- Improves the skin's tone and texture
- Lessens the appearance of scars and sun spots
- Smoothes and firms the skin for a more youthful appearance
- Minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles
- Nonsurgical approach offers a shorter recovery time than other treatments
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Wonderful team - could not be happier with the results - I had a great experience. Dr. Iteld and his team treated me with respect, were compassionate towards my concerns, and were very thorough in their explanations of what to expect and the step by step process for preparing and recovering from surgery. Staff offered after hours support for any concerns that may have arisen post surgery (thankfully I’ve had none) and treated me very well. I could not be happier with the results of my surgery and the care provided by Dr. Iteld and his team. Dr. Iteld and his team were very inclusive towards the lgbtq+ community, always using my preferred name and pronouns and has performed many of these surgeries. Queer folks looking for gender affirming surgery are in good hands here.
I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Itedl, Kimmy, and the receptionist Ashley were incredibly professional, guiding me through every step and addressing all of my concerns. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I anticipated. I’m 5’3 and 120lbs with an original cup size of a G. Dr. Itedl nailed the shape and areola size of my breast to match perfectly to my frame. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from upper back, neck, and lower back pain, which was the main reason I opted for the procedure. The results look so natural, and the scars are already starting to fade. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, I highly recommend it. It has been truly life-changing for me. The outcome has been everything I hoped for and more!
Kimmy is a phenomenal injector and is extremely knowledgeable about PRF/EZ Gel, energy based treatments, scarring, and her insight and education about facial anatomy, the aging process, and treating general cosmetic concerns for various ethnic skin types is extensive and surpasses any other injector I’ve encountered before. She is warm, patient, very empathetic, and I always feel fully heard and cared for during my appointments. She is so friendly, dedicated and passionate about what she does, and she truly shines in her role. Iteld Plastic Surgery (and her patients) are so lucky to have her! She’s a true gem! Keep up the good work!
I have made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Iteld. First, as most should know, liposuction is NOT for weight loss, but "body conturing", though after a procedure, "minimal" weight loss may occur. Secondly, it is important that good research should be done BEFORE considering this procedure. DO NOT SETTLE for just anyone. Dr. Iteld is a highly accredited plastic surgeon. Even before making my appointment, I was extremely impressed by the patient, kind, informative and professional attention from one of his staff members. Rarely does one find such people these days. So, whether I am a candidate for this procedure or not, and especially as a retired medical professional, myself, I can honestly say, I KNOW I chose the right professional and staff, who are in a beautiful setting with plenty of parking. Good luck to all who are interested in an appropriate surgeon and procedure !
I had an incredible experience at Iteld Plastic Surgery, thanks to Kimmy! She took so much time with me, ensuring that I felt comfortable and understood every step of the process. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she’s meticulous and thorough, making me feel confident and ready for my wedding day. On top of that, Kimmy is soooo sweet and a pleasure to be around! I can’t recommend her and the office enough!
