How Is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Performed?
During your consultation, we'll determine whether or not you're a good candidate for CO2 laser resurfacing and explain what you can expect during and after your procedure. You will need to stop using any exfoliating or retinol-based products for at least a week prior to your session. In certain cases, we might recommend pre-treating your skin with hydroquinone cream. The actual AcuPulse treatment will take place at our Chicago, IL practice. Before starting, we'll numb your skin to minimize any discomfort. While you lie back, we'll gently pass the handpiece over the treatment area. Most patients notice a warm feeling that is followed by a slight chilling sensation from our cold air chiller. Afterward, your skin may be pink and slightly warm, but this will fade over the next few hours. Before you leave, we'll go over aftercare instructions to protect your newly refreshed skin and keep it healthy as it recovers.
What Are the Benefits of CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
From harmful UV rays to environmental toxins, your skin can go through a lot of damage on an average day. If your skin has lost some of its natural resilience over the years, AcuPulse CO2 laser resurfacing at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery may provide the refreshment you need for a healthier, glowing complexion. Some of the benefits of laser skin resurfacing at our Chicago, IL office include:
- Reduced appearance of creases and fine lines
- Tightening of pores
- Improvement of rough skin texture
- Lowered visibility of scars and hyperpigmentation
- A more radiant, confident look
Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Fine is simply amazing! I started this journey full of fear and uncertainty, and came out thrilled with the result. I never expected that my breasts would look better post mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, then my natural ones yet here I am, staring in the mirror every day with awe. I am super thankful to Dr. Fine and his team: wonderful Barbara, Monika and Kat and all the beautiful ladies who welcomed me with smile every time. 5 stars!
I had surgery on my chin and the results are amazing. Dr. Moradian made things easy and painless. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone near the Chicagoland area looking for a good plastic surgeon.
Absolutely the best experience at Northwestern! Rachel is truly AMAZING, and I’m incredibly grateful for her patience and expertise at every visit. She takes the time to carefully assess my needs and consistently delivers results that look beautifully natural. Her precision and technique are unmatched, and I’m forever thankful for the confidence she’s given me. Rachel’s knowledge and understanding of her craft are evident—she knows exactly what’s needed for the best results. What truly sets Rachel apart is her commitment to enhancing natural beauty with a personalized touch. She never pushes unnecessary treatments and always offers honest, thoughtful recommendations that highlight my best features. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!!
When my smartwatch started showing blood oxygen levels below 90%, I knew I needed to do something about my blocked nasal passages. What was holding me back was finding a specialist who had a similar view of the balance between form and function. I knew I needed to breathe better but I also needed reassurances that my nose would not look the worse for it. It was my lucky day when I walked through the doors of the NSPSMEDSPA and met with Dr. Shierle. He was calm, funny, honest, and supportive. He understood and had explanations for my symptoms and options for solutions. His reassurances based on experience were thoughtful and on point. His depth of knowledge was beyond impressive. September 2024, Dr. Shierle performed my septoplasty. It has been life altering. My oxygen levels are solidly above 95%. My sleep the best it’s been in memory. And although it might be because I’m no longer scrunching it up to get air, my nose looks its best ever. I would be remiss if I did not also thank the NSPSMEDSPA staff. Appointments, insurance and paperwork were all taken care expertly and with a smile. Thank you everyone.
Dr. Meridian is an amazing plastic surgeon! I recommend him without hesitation for anyone considering facial surgery. He answers all questions thoroughly and is concerned and compassionate.
