Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for men and women who want to address sun damage, age spots, acne scars, mild wrinkles, or pigmentation issues. The NanoLaserPeel can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, and hands, based on your concerns. When you come in for your laser session in Chicago, IL, you can relax in our treatment chair while the laser handpiece glides over your skin, precisely delivering warm, gentle heat waves in the specific areas for rejuvenation. The laser works to destroy damaged and dead skin cells while also stimulating new collagen production. As a relatively mild treatment that only penetrates the top layer of skin, the NanoLaserPeel does not generally involve very much pain or discomfort. However, we can offer you a topical numbing cream if needed.

After laser skin resurfacing, you can expect some redness and swelling. Your skin may also peel and flake over the next 3 – 5 days as it heals. It is important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by Elysium SurgiSpa to ensure proper healing and optimal results. You may need to avoid direct sunlight and wear sunscreen while your skin recovers. The good news is that after the initial healing period in Chicago, IL, you can enjoy a smoother, brighter complexion with reduced wrinkles, scars, and other mild to moderate flaws. Results from laser treatment can last for several years with proper maintenance at home.

Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion?
After listening to your problems, Dr. Mick will help you choose whether laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion treatment is best for you. While all three rejuvenate your skin, each has pros and cons. In your consultation, Dr. Mick can review each choice and make a recommendation for your treatment plan.

How often should I get laser resurfacing treatments?
Based on the laser resurfacing method you and Dr. Mick choose for your procedure, you may need to wait a few weeks or even months between appointments. Deep treatments will provide results that last a long time; however, they do require a lengthier recovery period. You should tell Dr. Mick about how frequently you are willing to come back for treatments so he can take this into account when recommending a type of resurfacing during your initial consultation.

Can laser skin resurfacing be done on all skin types?
Laser skin resurfacing can be effective on various skin types, but the treatment needs to be tailored to individual skin characteristics. Darker skin tones may require specific laser settings to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Is laser skin resurfacing painful?
Patients may experience discomfort during the procedure, but topical anesthetics and cooling devices are used to minimize pain. Post-procedure discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications.
