Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Chicago, IL
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
A common complexion issue many of our patients deal with is hyperpigmentation, a discoloration of the skin caused by an excess of melanin. These dark patches of skin can appear anywhere on the body or face and may vary in size and shape. While anyone can be affected by hyperpigmentation, it's especially common among older patients (who develop age spots from a lifetime of sun exposure) or pregnant women. Though this condition is generally harmless to your health, it can cause embarrassment and distress. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we offer a solution for patients struggling with hyperpigmentation: noninvasive Alma Veil™ laser treatments. This cutting-edge system uses pulses of light energy to activate your body's collagen production, giving you a more even, radiant complexion over time. In just a few sessions, you can see a noticeable improvement in the texture and tone of your skin. To learn more about the causes of hyperpigmentation and your options for treating it, reach out to our office today to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our experienced skin care team in Chicago, IL.
How Do Hyperpigmentation Treatments Work?
Before your procedure gets underway, we'll apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to reduce any potential discomfort. We can also offer Pro-Nox™ for patients who are especially anxious about their treatment. Once you're ready, we'll have you relax as we pass the Alma Veil handpiece over your skin, warming up the deeper layers to promote collagen growth and lasting rejuvenation. The process is quick and simple and enables you to immediately get back to your routine — no downtime needed. You should begin to notice improvements after just one session, but most patients require 4 – 6 hyperpigmentation treatments at our Chicago, IL office to get the full results. As we build out your treatment plan, we'll discuss the number of sessions you're likely to need.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Hyperpigmentation Treatments?
While Alma Veil is an effective option for hyperpigmentation, it can also do so much more, addressing acne, spider fines, fine lines and wrinkles, and bruising, among other things. Some of the other benefits of Alma Veil laser skin treatments at Iteld Plastic Surgery include:
- Allows for precise, targeted treatments
- Can address a wide range of common skin imperfections
- Little to no discomfort during the procedure
- Safe for all skin types
- Minimal recovery with no downtime
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Iteld and I absolutely love my results. He and his team were so kind, professional, thorough, and informative. I was a little nervous of course about surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision. Recovery with no narcotics was so easy. I was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Everything healed up perfectly and I’m so happy I went with him. I’d highly recommend him!
I had top-surgery done by Dr. Iteld and could not be happier with the results! He is a rockstar. I had a double incision with free nipple grafts and everything has healed so well. Dr. Iteld and the professionals working with him were extremely helpful, supportive, and kind throughout this entire process. They are quick to respond to questions and concerns, and genuinely care about what you are looking to get out of their services. I felt listened to and cared for while in their hands. Could not recommend Dr. Iteld enough!
i had a great experience with Dr. Iteld and his office! Everyone was kind and helpful, my experience was smooth and as easy as i can imagine a surgery being! Thank you!
275cc, mods, overs, 35 y/o, 125lbs, 5'5, 2 kids, 32A - A long time coming, the goal being to look proportionate and go from an A to a small C at the most. It’s more so about the look than the final cup size though! I have forever desired boobs, since I was a teenager! Just never happened for me. Dr. Iteld’s team was great and patient with me. I was eternally toying between 250, 275, 295 cc (with the understanding that what they put into your bod is roughly 25 cc more than the sizer you select). Ended up with a 275 cc implant, moderate profile, Allergan brand gel. The recovery has been crazy smooth. I feel great, out walking around but being very careful. I went out to dinner the night after the surgery, guys! Just be smart. Don’t overdo it. No one wants to end up back in the OR. CANNOT wait to see how these drop and look long term!Updated on 4 Mar 2024:Crazy to already notice a difference from day 1 to day 4 post op! I think these will be EXACTLY what I was looking for once they settle. Wish I could hit fast forward for a month. Still no pain. If anything this dang bra is the itchy and annoying part. Just by the straps due to the fabric weaving. I’m being VERY careful with my 2 and 4 year old. Definitely a challenge so make sure you have help constantly. Just remember it’s temporary!Updated on 7 Mar 2024:Day 7! My check-up is tomorrow! My left boob is a bit more swollen than the right, you can tell even the nipple is still puffy and a hair larger, while the right is responsive to the cold in this photo and not swollen. Super normal, not worried about it. You can see from the side photo that the “upper pole” of the breast looks a little less poofy as well as on the sides. Slow n steady!I can’t feel my nipples and the immediate area around, but each day I slowly get more feeling. Apparently this can take a few weeks. Overall still very happy with them and the healing process. Zero pain! Ready to get rid of this granny bra!
