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, his team, and all the staff at NSPS are just the best! Having to go thru a crap situation (mastectomy) I trust his process and feel at ease at every appointment/procedure. I am so thankful to be going through this with them and highly recommend. I will actually miss going to NSPS when the reconstruction process is fully complete.
I went to Dr. Schierle to address my gynecomastia - which had been a lifelong issue that suddenly gone from being a purely cosmetic flaw to a much bigger overall health issue for me over the course of a year or so. The first green flag for me was this office was the first plastic surgery practice that was willing to listen to my concerns and try billing my insurance for the surgery (coverage for the procedure was approved).Dr. Schierle himself made the entire process as positive as possible. I felt that he truly listened to me, asked thoughtful questions about my goals for the surgery, was frank and open about every aspect of my procedure and what I could realistically expect, and never once made me feel judged or uncomfortable.The team and office staff have been incredible to work with. I’ve always been able to reach someone if I had a question or concern during recovery. I never have a problem getting into the office when I’ve needed to.I knew that I had made the best decision in choosing a surgeon during my second post-surgery checkup, when Dr. Schierle recommended I hold off on any scar revision treatments for at least a year. To me, this just demonstrated further that he is actually invested in his patients’ success and not just out to milk people for as much money as he can.I’m really grateful to Dr. Schierle and his team for making what was an incredibly stressful and scary ordeal into a much more manageable process. Can’t recommend them enough.
I will continually recommend and refer my friends and family to Northwestern Plastics. I underwent a breast augmentation yesterday and feel great! My pre-operative experience was nothing but detailed, understood, and all my concerns and questions were answered by Dr. Moradian and his amazing PA, Monika. I will speak highly of the faculty because you are always warmly greeted by the front desk and Kendall makes your logistical arrangements seamless!During the day of my procedure, I felt ZERO anxiety and the experience was very pleasant and passionate from all the nurses and the anesthesiologist. Prior to going into the OR, Dr. Moradian came into the room to greet me and mark me up - this was indicative of how passionate he was because he asked me if I had any last minute questions and concerns. Another small but impactful statement he said was “I’ve studied your aesthetic wants/inspirational pictures of what you would want and know exactly what to do”. This shows me compassion, the drive to make me feel heard, to how much thought and detail he has put into this artistry.Overall, I am extremely happy and when I am healed - I will update my pictures! I am excited for my recovery journey. They are perfect already.
I had chin lipo done by Dr. Simon and had the BEST experience. I’ve wanted to do this my whole life and finally made the choice because of how comfortable I felt going into the process. During the surgery it was painless and we were actually cracking jokes and laughing the whole time with Monica who is also WONDERFUL. Don’t get me wrong it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world but there was no pain at any point. My recovery has gone super well and In just 3-4 days you can live your life totally normal. I already have friends who have seen my results that are going to Dr. Simon now.
I completely recommend this location & Dr. Simon Moradian. The entire staff was extremely welcoming, friendly, and informative. Dr Simon listened to all my questions & concerns, he gave his recommendation while still listening to what I wanted done. I am very pleased with my surgery, and the results are better than I thought they would be! 100% recommend and will be coming back if I ever want anything more.
