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
My top surgery experience with Dr. Iteld was seamless. Each person handling every step of the process was well-informed and knowledgeable. They made me feel comfortable and coached me through with finesse. A well-oiled machine. I love my results. Thank you to everyone involved for everything.
If you want the best team and some of the best work I have seen, this is the place to go. Every single staff member has been nothing but absolutely amazing through my brother’s whole process. Linda, Caryle, Ashley, and Kimmie have been absolutely so sweet and fantastic. Their customer service has been phenomenal and unmatched. Dr. Iteld is truly an amazing doctor. He takes time with his patients and makes sure that they are 110% comfortable and that they understand ALL work that will be done and is so honest and real about the results. His work is incredible. Thank you so much to the whole team for providing a truly amazing experience for my brother. Couldn’t have picked a better office!!!!!
I had a fantastic experience with the entire team here. From consultation to surgery to follow-up after care, I felt I was in good hands. I'm extremely happy with my results. I'd highly recommend Dr. Iteld
I went to Dr Iteld for a breast reduction. He and his team made me feel immediately at easy. They offer their expertise to answer all your questions, and made the process as easy as possible, from prep to surgery to recovery. I was shocked how easy my recovery was! I love that I now feel I have proportionate breasts to my body for the first time ever!
Dr. Iteld and his associates have been nothing short of amazing! Everything has gone so well. I almost went with a different surgeon, but after so many issues along the way, my gut told me it wasn't right. I found Dr. Iteld through RealSelf and Google searches and looking at his work and after meeting him and his team, I just felt so much more comfortable. The surgery went incredibly well. I did not need any painkillers at all not even Tylenol. It was virtually pain-free. I had a breast lift with a very small implant to keep the size and the scars are very minimal and I'm so happy! My breasts are perfect! So even and just the right shape and size!!
