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
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!!
Preserved my tattoo and make me feel like my best self. - Dr. Iteld was attentive and understanding of my wants and needs! I have a huge tattoo that near the place of surgery and he was adamant about preserving it while giving me the best results. And that’s exactly what he did. I am so happy with my results and the care that he took to preserve my tattoo and make me feel like my best self
My Experience Was Amazing - Very satisfied, very professional, extremely personable, got to know you very well and was extremely knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend for sure. Great Doctor and Staff!!!My consultation was very informative and they answered all my questions and gave me a bunch of tools to take home!!! !!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous Skincare Service - I highly recommend Dr. Iteld and his team. I started working with his skincare specialist Kimmy Vu a year ago. She is so knowledgeable, and has provided me with a refreshed face through non surgical means with minimal downtime over the last 12 months. She makes me feel so comfortable and takes the time to understand my skin concerns, recommend the appropriate procedures to address, and explain everything. Her passion for her work is remarkable and makes keeping up skincare fun! The results are lovely.
I'm currently preparing for my upcoming breast lift surgery, so I'll follow up with results once it's done. For now, I can only comment on the professionalism of Dr. Iteld and his team. I initially considered another doctor but ultimately decided to cancel due to a series of mistakes leading up to the surgery. These included repeatedly losing my file, forgetting to date a prescription, sending appointment reminders for incorrect dates, providing me with the wrong quote, and--just three days before surgery--informing me it would cost $6,000 more due to an oversight.From the moment I walked into Dr. Iteld's beautiful office, the experience was completely different. I was warmly greeted by a professional receptionist, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly. It didn't feel like a place with a revolving door of part-time employees juggling college schedules. It was a well-organized, welcoming, and highly professional environment.Dr Iteld took his time with me and explained my options in detail. I also like the fact that they do not use narcotics for pain. Stay tuned!
