We live in exciting times when it comes to innovations in cosmetic treatments. New procedures and treatments are coming online at a rapid pace.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Medical lasers offer incredible precision when it comes to removing skin imperfections like scars, wrinkles, and blemishes. At our med spa, we are now able to target only unwanted skin tissue, leaving surrounding tissue intact to serve as a sort of bandage to prevent possible infection. Laser skin resurfacing works through the targeted thermal laser energy that is directed beneath your skin. This prompts your body into removing this unwanted skin and replacing it with fresher, newer skin that displays fewer imperfections.

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers are injectables that can create a soft, smooth look that displays less prominent lines and wrinkles. They contain a variety of substances suspended within a gel that flows easily under your skin. Each product is a little different and requires some information on your part to determine the best fit for your individual skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a very popular facial filler ingredient due to its ability to attract and maintain moisture within your skin. Aging skin can easily become depleted of hyaluronic acid, leading to skin that grows thinner and develops lines and wrinkles. A hyaluronic acid facial filler can restore your normal levels and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is basically a medical-grade form of exfoliation, which helps lighten and brighten your complexion. It removes varying layers of facial skin in order to reveal the fresh, better-looking skin underneath. We have various types of peels available at our med spa in Chicago, IL.

Sculptra®

Approved by the FDA in 2004, Sculptra® is a type of dermal filler that can work on both the face and lips to enhance volume and diminish signs of wrinkles. The product is an injectable containing polylactic acid that is slowly replaced with collagen. Sculptra® is an extremely safe and effective skin rejuvenation treatment, but you need to be patient to see results. They will become evident in the weeks and months ahead in the form of line and wrinkle reduction.
