Chicago Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Chicago-area residents in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park and outlying communities have easy access to IPL treatments to correct skin tone and wrinkles. Intense pulsed light, or IPL, treatments are laser skin rejuvenation procedures that are nonsurgical and generally painless. They represent a proven alternative to cosmetic surgery and resurfacing facelifts, with enhanced appeal to women and men with sensitive skin and busy schedules. Much more affordable than surgical treatments, IPL rejuvenation requires less care and recovery time and places less stress on the body.

IPL Treatment Is the Gentle Alternative to Surgery

Patients with rosacea, sun damage, uneven pigmentation and surface wrinkles can all consider photo rejuvenation. With this type of therapy, broad-spectrum light waves are emitted in a series of pulses over the face, neck or chest areas to have a penetrating effect on skin disorders. By promoting collagen production and activating the deep tissue where pigmentation issues arise, this laser procedure provides lasting benefits to the skin.

Rather than spending weeks recovering from a surgical facelift, patients can return to work immediately after an IPL treatment with only mild redness in the affected areas, which usually abates within 24 hours. Sessions average about 30 minutes in length, and take place in three-week intervals. Most estheticians recommend five treatments to achieve the full benefits, with a touch-up or two after a year or so. Ongoing home skin care helps to preserve the fresher appearance.

With minimal or no discomfort and a relatively short time outlay, patients choose IPL therapy as a welcome alternative to invasive procedures. In Lakeview and the surrounding Chicago area, NuU Medspa offers these cosmetic enhancements in a luxurious setting.
