Our Chicago, IL skin care providers are ready to discuss the benefits of AcuPulse CO2 laser resurfacing with you and answer any questions you might have.
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

- A more radiant, confident look
Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I had read a lot of reviews prior to my procedure so felt it necessary to provide one. I researched many places to consult with but came here first and after meeting with Dr. Moradian, I knew that I didn't have to go anywhere else. The professionalism, knowledge, and genuine interest to get me the exact results that I was looking for was what led me to choosing this practice. From start to finish, everything was detailed out and Kendall was able to promptly answer any questions that came up so that I felt supported throughout. The aftercare and attention that I received during my recovery was top notch. It was very important to me to have natural results and could not be happier. This is one of the best decisions I've made and recommend Dr. Moradian & this practice to everyone.
I recently had a Lip Lift procedure with Dr.Schierle and couldn’t be happier with my results!!! From the first consultation with Dr. Schierle he was incredibly detailed, patient and genuinely compassionate. He took time to listen to my concerns and goals explaining the procedure and the healing process throughly. He made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.His attention to detail was exceptional and is apparent in my outcome. My results look natural, balanced and are exactly what I was hoping for-refreshed without looking odd or overdone .The care didn’t stop after the procedure either , follow up appointments were just as thoughtful and reassuring.If you are considering a Lip Lift and want a physician who is not only skilled but meticulous, compassionated and truly cares about their patients I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Schierle.

I have nothing but great things to say about my time with Dr Schierle (and Dr.Fine) They have been nothing short of professional and personable. Making my procedures as seamless as possible, answering many, many questions from my parents and myself without hesitation or frustration and providing excellent pre op and post op care. Not to mention his amazing PA Monika Ciesynski who has played a huge role on my care team. They are an amazing duo and I am lucky to be under their care. I would highly, highly recommend them for yourself and your loved ones!Kendall and Barbara have been amazing as far as finances and scheduling goes. The front office is always friendly and ready to help.
With my breast reduction I had immediate relief from my intense discomfort! I had minimal pain and was able to resume exercising within about 20 days. De. Schierle and his team were marvelous and I highly recommend them to others.
