What Is HALO Laser Skin Resurfacing?
When you were younger, you never had to worry about your skin's radiance and health. Over the years, age, sun damage, and other factors can all take their toll on your skin, leaving your complexion dull and lifeless. HALO skin resurfacing at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery is a nonsurgical aesthetic procedure that utilizes pulsating beams of energy to eliminate damaged skin cells for a brighter appearance. The treatment is used for addressing facial lines and wrinkles and for minimizing skin blemishes, including pigmentation, acne scars, and more. Sometimes known as a laser peel, HALO fractional skin resurfacing is considered an effective treatment for patients desiring clearer, softer, youthful-looking skin. Unlike past laser treatments that could only target the skin's surface, HALO's ablative and nonablative lasers address both the top and middle layers, which is where sun damage and signs of aging are typically found. Consult our skilled aesthetic providers in Chicago, IL to learn more about the HALO laser system from Sciton® and how this cutting-edge procedure can restore your skin's glow.
How Are HALO Treatments Performed?
Before starting your HALO procedure, we'll apply a desensitizing cream to your skin and give you protective goggles for your eyes. After allowing it to take effect, we'll glide the HALO laser handpiece over the treatment area. The handpiece emits both ablative and nonablative laser energy to treat multiple skin depths at the same time. After finishing, we can apply a cooling compress to soothe your skin. There is little to no downtime associated with HALO laser skin resurfacing, but you will need to protect your skin from sunlight and harsh products while it heals.

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.
