Chicago Photofacial Treatments

Women and men of any age feel comfortable getting photofacial treatments at one of Oakbrook's or Chicago's upscale medical spas. Whether you visit for photo skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion or a chemical peel, the experience is geared toward a pleasant state of mind as well as body. You'll be greeted by soft music and lighting and offered a cold or hot beverage by a friendly staff member. While photofacials are some of the most advanced laser treatments, the equipment is the most clinical aspect of these facilities.

Photo Skin Rejuvenation, IPL or Photofacial Treatments

These are all terms for the broad-spectrum laser therapy that works on aging and environmentally caused skin conditions. IPL, or intense pulsed light, is a cosmetic procedure developed by an American doctor that is a noninvasive way to even out disrupted pigmentation and to soften tiny lines on the face. Sometimes used on the neck and chest, photofacial treatments are a solution to rosacea, age spots and blotches, as well as crinkles around the eyes and mouth. During your initial consultation at a medical spa, you can learn whether an IPL treatment is appropriate for your particular issues.

Photofacials work to rejuvenate the skin by increasing clarity and firmness. The photo treatments act on deep tissue by emitting high-speed light waves that penetrate the surface of the skin to address pigmentation and collagen levels. Your comfort is taken closely into account during your photofacial visit, including a cooling gel prior to the session and a line of skin-care products from which to choose afterwards. NuU Medspa has offices in Oakbrook, Skokie and other suburban Chicago locations.
