Treatments

Fraxel re:pair – Fraxel re:pair is a non-surgical option for treating wrinkles and aged, damaged skin. Not only does this treatment tighten loose skin, it also serves as a preventative measure for further skin laxity by rebuilding lost collagen and elastic tissue. With just a single treatment, patients notice dramatic results. Smooth, soft skin clear of various imperfections such as lines, wrinkles and sun spots can be achieved with a Fraxel re:pair treatment. Fraxel can be paired with other anti-aging treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic in Chicago.

Lightwave – For treatment of acne, stretch marks, sun damage and even dark pigment spots, the Lightwave uses low-level laser therapy with red, blue, or infrared LED light depending on the condition being treated. The effect is called Photomodulation and it creates deep stimulation of the cellular renewal process. The result is re-energized and repaired skin with increased collagen production. Lightwave treatments are painless and relaxing since no heat is created.

Lumenis® DeepFX – For wrinkles, rejuvenation, acne scars and even stretch marks, the results are unparalleled. This CO2 laser sends microscopic thin laser beams deep into the skin to tighten, smooth, and restore. CO2 lasers have long been the ‘gold standard’ for skin rejuvenation and skin resurfacing in Chicago. The DeepFX is on the cutting-edge of CO2 laser technology with its unique fractionated approach. No other laser technology can produce more deep tissue repair with such long-lasting and proven results.

Lumenis® ActiveFX – Designed to blend surface irregularities, the ActiveFX targets fine lines, irregular pigment and uneven texture. The ActiveFX is often used in combination with its companion DeepFX to create TotalFX treatments, a powerhouse combination for maximum effect. ActiveFX can also be used alone for treatment of large skin areas including the neck, chest, arms or legs. CO2 laser treatments including Active, Deep, and PigmentFX have the unique effect of continuing to generate new collagen and elastin tissue for as long as six months after the procedure.

Lumenis® PigmentFX – PigmentFX is the lightest level of CO2 fractional laser therapy. It is often referred to as a ‘laser peel’ or ‘CO2 Lite’ since just the outermost layers of skin are removed. As with other fractional treatments ‘bridges’ of untreated skin remain, allowing for quicker healing. A single treatment will bring a more even, refreshed, and brightened appearance to your skin.

Lumenis® LightSheer DUET – This system uses state-of-the-art diode lasers with either vacuum-assist technology to remove unwanted hair with greater speed and comfort than other methods on larger areas or the gold-standard LightSheer ET handpiece with ChillTip for smaller areas. Producing a larger beam of highly concentrated light, this treatment is much faster than traditional laser hair removal methods. With two handpieces, we can truly customize treatment for your hair type and skin type.

Lumenis® M22 IPL – The M22 IPL delivers high energy ‘Intense Pulsed Light’ of multiple wavelengths to target multiple problem areas in the skin, whether unwanted pigmentation, sun spots or surface blood vessels. It is often referred to as a photofacial because of its photorejuvenation effects. With its larger sized treatment head, IPL in the Chicago area is especially useful for photorejuvenation of larger areas like the neck, chest, shoulders or arms. IPL is non-invasive and generally done as a series of treatments.

Lumenis® ResurFX – The revolutionary Lumenis ResurFX is the ONLY true fractional non-ablative technology available. Treat underlying skin conditions such as fine lines, acne scars, or stretch marks, without damaging the skin’s surface! With a 1565nm laser and advanced scanner, only one pass is needed at each visit to be effective. This also allows for combination treatments, such as those with IPL, to address a broad range of concerns at once.

Lutronic LaseMD™ – The perfect treatment for fine lines, large pores, rough texture, and pigmentation – including melasma! This Hollywood “Glo” treatment uses a 1927nm thulium laser to strike the perfect balance between minimal downtime and impactful results. This rejuvenating therapy incorporates custom serums and a unique calming treatment mask. Perfect for the décolletage and hands as well!

XTRAC Velocity-700 Excimer Laser – UVB phototherapy is one of the oldest, safest, and most effective therapies for numerous skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo. The XTRAC laser uses the UVB wavelength of light and converts it into a laser to increase its penetration into the skin. The light energy works to decrease the growth of rapidly growing cells. This safe and painless therapy provides quick, painless, and long-lasting relief for psoriasis and other skin conditions.

CUTERA excel V™ – The excel V is the newest and most advanced system for providing precise treatment of vascular and benign pigmented skin conditions. With both 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths available in one device and a proprietary cooling mechanism built-in, excel V can safely and effectively treat facial vessels, cherry angiomas, rosacea, leg veins, sun damage, pigmented lesions, or even red scars.
