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
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!
I went to Dr. Iteld for breast augmentation and I couldn't be happier with the results. He gave me exactly what I wanted and I've never felt more confident. His team helped me every step of the way and made sure I was one-hundred percent sure and confident in my decision before we proceeded with the surgery. They let me come in multiple times to try on the sizers, until I finally felt confident with the size and look I wanted. Not to mention, Dr. Iteld's bedside manner is unmatched. I strongly recommend Dr. Iteld to anyone looking for cosmetic services. I will definitely be seeing him again in the future.
I recently underwent a plastic surgery procedure, and I'm excited to share my experience. From the moment I walked into the office, Dr. Iteld and his incredible team--Linda, Ashley, Kimmy, and Caryle--made me feel incredibly comfortable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions, which eased my nerves significantly. Dr. Iteld's sense of humor was a delightful surprise, he has a talent for making you laugh and feel at ease, even during what can be a stressful time. His light-hearted approach really helped me relax and trust the process.I interviewed four different doctors before making my decision, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Dr. Iteld's professionalism, expertise, and genuine care truly stood out to me. His thorough explanations about what to expect at every stage of the process were reassuring, and I felt confident in my decision.The results of my surgery exceeded my expectations! I love how I look and feel now. The support from Linda, Ashley, Kimmy, and Caryle didn't stop after the procedure; they were available for any follow-up questions I had, which was a great comfort. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my results and the exceptional care I received from Dr. Iteld and his wonderful team. I highly recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery!
