Laser Skin Resurfacing Reviews
Who is a candidate for laser skin resurfacing?
Candidates for laser skin resurfacing are looking to improve the overall health and appearance of their complexion. The best way to determine your eligibility is to meet with one of our trained providers at Elysium SurgiSpa. Our team members will examine your skin and ask about your goals for treatment before making recommendations.

What to Expect with Laser Skin Resurfacing
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.
What to Expect After Laser Skin Resurfacing
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.

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.
