Cosmetic Dermatology in Chicago
Cosmetic Treatments & Services
At the University of Chicago Medicine, our skin specialists offer the latest treatments to help you look your best, including chemical peels, laser therapy and minimally-invasive procedures. We provide solutions for aging skin, as well as treatments for hair loss, unsightly leg veins, acne scars and other cosmetic concerns.
Expertise with Ethnic Skin
Our highly respected dermatologists have extensive experience treating all skin types, including darker skin. Certain skin conditions are more common in darker-skinned people, such as vitiligo and keloid scars, and require a specialized treatment approach. We perform laser hair removal, laser resurfacing and other light therapies on darker-skinned patients.
Cosmetic Treatments
Our team of cosmetic dermatology experts utilize a variety of treatment methods, based off of your unique needs. This includes;
- Botox injections to improve the appearance of wrinkles
- Conservative treatments to reduce the appearance of bags under the eyes and other concerns that once required surgical correction
- Fillers to help restore lost volume in the face and hands
- Fractional laser resurfacing, which can diminish wrinkles, reduce acne scars, promote a younger appearance and treat a variety of medical conditions — with less pain and a quicker recovery than other types of skin rejuvenation
- Peels to improve the texture and appearance of skin
- Pulsed dye laser therapy, which destroys abnormal blood vessels and can reduce the appearance of spider veins, rosacea, some birthmarks and other skin conditions
- Removal of spider veins, freckles and age spots using the latest laser technology
