Overview

What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a powerful treatment that gently removes damaged skin cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin while stimulating collagen for improved texture and firmness. At Elysium Chicago in River North, we use the Sciton NanoLaserPeel™, a light-to-medium depth ablative laser offering more impact than chemical peels or microdermabrasion—without the downtime of deep laser resurfacing.

Our expert Chicago Aesthetics providers customize treatments with advanced devices like MoxiMAX, Forever Young BBL, Clear + Brilliant, NanoLaserPeel®, and ProFractional® to safely address sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. Experience smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated skin with Chicago’s leading laser skin resurfacing specialists.

What You Can Expect

Initial
Consultation

You’ll meet with Dr. Mick Singh or one of our expert providers for a personalized skin analysis. We’ll discuss your goals and select the ideal laser or BBL protocol for your needs.

Precision
Treatment

Laser resurfacing is performed in-office. We may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The Sciton device gently glides over the skin, delivering controlled pulses of laser energy to remove dead surface cells and activate new skin regeneration.

Rejuvenation
Results

Gentler lasers (like MoxiMAX and Clear + Brilliant) may cause only mild redness or flaking for 1–3 days. Deeper treatments (NanoLaserPeel® or ProFractional®) may require 3–5 days of healing. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions. Expect a radiant glow within days, and progressive improvement as new collagen develops.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does laser resurfacing cost?

Pricing varies by area and intensity. We’ll provide a personalized quote and go over package options during your consultation.

Is laser resurfacing painful?

Discomfort is minimal. Topical numbing and cooling tools make the experience tolerable. Most patients describe it as a warm or prickly sensation.

How long is downtime?

Most clients experience redness, dryness, and peeling for about 3–5 days. You can typically resume light daily activities the same day.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes — laser resurfacing pairs well with microneedling, PRP, or medical facials. We’ll recommend the ideal treatment stack for your goals.

Is it safe for all skin types?

Laser settings are customized to your skin tone and condition. While the NanoLaserPeel is safe for most, we evaluate each patient individually to minimize the risk of post-treatment pigmentation.
