Chicago Laser Skin Resurfacing

This procedure can rejuvenate your face, smoothing lines and wrinkles, correcting pigment problems, and removing blotches and blemishes.

The procedure is sometimes referred to as a "laser peel," as a carbon dioxide laser is utilized to remove skin, layer by layer, from areas of treatment. This technique allows for precise treatment and involves very minimal bleeding.

It will take several weeks for skin to completely recover. A soft pink color remains for several weeks after surgery, and may stay for several months. Once skin has gone through initial stages of recovery, any remaining color can be easily concealed with makeup.
