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

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Simon Moradian is amazing! I had been considering chin liposuction for several years, but I am so happy that I finally went in for a consultation. Dr. Moradian and his team made me feel completely at ease, and they very professionally and kindly answered all my questions. I left the consultation ready to book the procedure. The procedure itself was a breeze, it took maybe an hour and half and we talked and listened to music the entire time. I left with minimal bruising and clear results day 1. The results just keep getting better, thank you Dr. Moradian!
Dr. Moradian is a caring and conscientious surgeon with world class results and Chicago is lucky to have him. Would recommend him to anybody
I had such an amazing experience with Dr. Simon Moradian at NSPS. From my first consultation, he was so warm, informative, and thoughtful, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. After talking to him, I pretty much knew right away that he was who I wanted to choose.Something he said that really stuck with me was that he doesn’t take the same approach with every nose, he looks at the individual person and tailors everything to their face and what they want. He listened to me while also being really thoughtful about what would look natural and suit me best.My results are honestly better than I imagined. My nose still looks like me, just better, which is exactly what I wanted. He is incredibly talented and the craftsmanship of his work really shows, but he also genuinely cares about his patients and is very communicative throughout the whole process.It’s scary trusting someone to change something so central to your face, and I’m just so grateful I chose him. I truly couldn’t be happier with my results and would recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
I chose Dr. Moradian for my abdominal liposuction, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Moradian took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer every question I had, and make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for his patients immediately stood out.The procedure itself went incredibly smoothly, and throughout my recovery, Dr. Moradian and his team were consistently supportive, attentive, and reassuring. Every post-op appointment made me feel like I was in the best hands. He is incredibly detail-oriented and truly strives for the best possible outcome for each patient.Most importantly, I am beyond thrilled with my results. They exceeded my expectations and have given me so much more confidence. It’s clear that Dr. Moradian takes great pride in his work, and it absolutely shows in the quality of his results.If you’re considering any cosmetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Moradian. His expertise, compassion, attention to detail, and exceptional team make the entire experience outstanding. I am so grateful I trusted him with my procedure and would recommend him without hesitation.
I had such a pleasant experience with Dr. Simon and the whole team! He’s very knowledgeable, kind, and meticulous. He educated me on why I should or shouldn’t do certain procedures (example - I don’t love my neck but it’s due to my tongue placement and there’s no surgical procedure that can be done. I did joke that we should just remove my tongue). He was realistic and answered all my questions. I also had to text him a question and he answered while on vacation and was incredibly responsive and reassuring.Everything looks great and I’m so happy I went with Dr. Simon. Highly recommend.
