Laser Skin Resurfacing in Chicago, IL

Laser skin resurfacing is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that utilizes pulsating beams of light to exfoliate damaged surface skin cells one layer at a time. This state-of-the-art procedure is effective for reducing facial wrinkles and lines and for minimizing common skin imperfections, such as acne scars, pigmentation, and other concerns. Also called a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is considered an effective treatment for people who want clearer, softer, younger-looking skin. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we perform laser skin resurfacing using the Candela™ Nordlys® and Alma Hybrid® systems, both of which offer advanced customization options to give you the best results. To learn more about laser skin resurfacing and other skin rejuvenation solutions offered at our Chicago, IL office, reach out to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our skilled aesthetic providers.

Before starting your procedure, a member of our team will apply an anesthetic cream to your skin to numb any sensations you may feel from the laser. Dr. Iteld also offers Pro-Nox™, an innovative pain management system designed to help calm any anxiety you may feel during your treatment. When you're ready, we'll have you lie back and relax as we pass the laser handpiece over the treatment area. The Candela Nordlys and Alma Hybrid each offer different laser and light options, which we'll discuss during your consultation. Afterward, you can expect some pinkness and sensitivity, but this will pass quickly. In time, you'll notice clearer, glowing skin as your collagen levels increase.

At Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL, our team fully understands the challenges your skin deals with on a daily basis, from UV radiation and pollutants to stress.

FAQs

Who is a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

Alma Hybrid™ works best for patients who want to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and other tone and texture irregularities. Patients with most skin types, and even hyperpigmentation, would be good candidates for laser tone resurfacing treatment with the Alma Hybrid.
Patients who want to address fine lines and wrinkles or enhance their overall skin quality and minimize surface-level imperfections on the face make great candidates for Candela Nordlys™.

Who should not have laser skin resurfacing?

Light and laser treatments aren’t usually suited for patients who have active acne outbreaks, excessive sagging skin and jowls, very deep wrinkles, or stretch marks on the body. If any of this applies to you, the Iteld Plastic Surgery team will work with you to determine the best strategy.

What can you expect after laser skin resurfacing?

There is very little downtime needed for most patients, and you can leave the office right away and resume normal activities. Some minor, temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, dryness, sensitivity, and peeling may occur anywhere from a few days to a week after a treatment.
Alma Hybrid™ is designed to provide the best possible results while, at the same time, reducing the length of recovery. To maximize results, patients may decide to have multiple treatment sessions. Once the new skin has been rebuilt over the following weeks and months, it will look and feel smoother and tighter.
With the Candela Nordlys,™ depending on what type of treatment, you have deeper lasers usually require more downtime to ensure your skin heals properly.

What skin tightening treatments alternatives are available?

Laser skin resurfacing is an effective way to tighten loose skin and create a more balanced skin tone. However, there are other non-surgical options available that can be used in combination with either the Candela Nordlys™ method or the Alma Hybrid—or as an alternative radiofrequency treatment to boost collagen production and stimulate skin cell turnover.
If you also hope to reduce small, resistant fat areas, consider body contouring options like BodyTite or Morpheus8. BodyTite is a minimally invasive technique that uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to reduce fat and tighten skin. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with advanced RF technology to tighten and smooth the skin.
