Do Laser Skin Treatments Hurt?

It’s important to remember that everyone’s experience with Med Spa and facial enhancement procedures can vary slightly.

With the Skin Smooth Laser, procedures like laser hair removal can be achieved more comfortably thanks to its incredible and innovative technology.

For many of our patients in Rockford laser skin treatments and hair removal are minimally painful and can be performed without any anesthesia. It may be more comfortable for some to use a numbing cream, however, so be sure to discuss what your options are during your consultations! You may feel stinging, tingling, pinching, or a similar sensation during or after the treatment.

Is Everyone Eligible for this Treatment?

Laser skin resurfacing and hair removal might not be an ideal skin enhancement solution for everyone.

Thankfully, there are many other treatment options available at PryorHealth Medspa & Wellness Center, so you can be sure to find a service that suits your needs.

At PryorHealth we strive to provide the best laser skin treatments Rockford has to offer!

Can Skin Smooth Laser Treatments Be Combined With Other Treatments?

To achieve their desired beauty results, some patients may opt for other laser-assisted treatments, like skin resurfacing or tattoo removal. If you are interested in undergoing multiple non-surgical cosmetic enhancements, talk to our facility about what best way to combine them!

CO2 LASER RESURFACING

Unfortunately no one can stop the effects of aging forever. But thanks to significant advancements in aesthetic laser technology, it’s now possible to reduce specific signs of aging to reveal smoother, younger-looking skin.

If you have concerns about uneven skin tone, wrinkling, or age spots the skincare experts at PryorHealth Medspa & Wellness Center in Rockford, IL can help. With expertly applied CO2 laser resurfacing Rockford aesthetic experts can turn back the clock and handle fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretchmarks, spider veins, sun damage, and improve your skin’s elasticity.

While the effects of aging are inevitable, remarkable advancements in aesthetic laser technology have made it possible to minimize specific signs of aging and unveil smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

If you're troubled by issues like uneven skin tone, wrinkles, or age spots, the skilled skincare professionals at PryorHealth Medspa & Wellness Center in Rockford, IL, have the solution. Through expert application of CO2 laser resurfacing, our Rockford aesthetic specialists can effectively turn back the hands of time, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, spider veins, sun damage, and enhancing your skin's elasticity.

What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

During a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, focused light beams are directed at the skin, where they are absorbed by the water in surface skin cells, causing this superficial layer to vaporize. At the same time, the middle layer of skin, or dermis, is heated, causing it to produce more collagen. As both layers heal, fresh skin cells are produced to replace the old damaged layers. This type of laser resurfacing is excellent for targeting specific areas of the skin without damaging nearby tissue.

Benefits of CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

The SmartXide Tetra CO2 is an advanced laser device known for its versatility and precision in dramatically fading acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, and other types of hyperpigmentation. It provides more scanning patterns than its predecessor, along with four unique pulse modes that allow your provider to tailor treatments to different areas and concerns.

The Tetra CO2 also offers a unique CoolPeel treatment, which provides highly targeted ablative skin resurfacing without causing thermal damage to surrounding tissues, meaning less downtime. Because of its flexibility and exceptional results, the Tetra CO2 laser is a good fit for many skin types and concerns.

Am I a candidate for CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

The Tetra CO2 laser’s versatile settings make it ideal for treating a variety of skin concerns— including fine lines, dark spots, and acne scars—as well as providing all-over rejuvenation. At your consultation, we can help you determine whether you are a candidate to safely receive the optimal benefits from CO2 laser resurfacing.

Consultation and Preparation

Before any treatment, you will consult with one of our aesthetic specialists to ensure that the Tetra CO2 Laser is a good fit for you. During this meeting, we will evaluate your skin, answer any questions you have about laser resurfacing, and discuss your treatment objectives. We want to ensure that any treatment we provide you can safely provide excellent results that help you meet your aesthetic goals.

Procedure

After cleansing your skin, your aesthetic specialist will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort from the laser. You will then recline comfortably while they carefully guide the device over the skin on your face. During this time, they utilize an advanced Zimmer Cooler which greatly reduces the heat during the procedure and maximizes patient comfort. In addition to using the laser’s different modes to target specific areas of concern, such as wrinkles, sun spots, or acne scars, they will also focus on providing comprehensive rejuvenation to give your entire complexion a youthful, refreshed glow.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

The time it takes for your skin to recover from CO2 laser resurfacing will depend on the settings used in your individual treatment. At your consultation, your provider can help you understand the levels of treatment that are possible to help address your skin concerns, ranging from conservative to aggressive. You can expect your skin to be slightly red and sensitive or to peel for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Areas of hyperpigmentation targeted by the laser may turn darker before sloughing off. We will give you clear aftercare instructions to promote your skin’s optimal healing during this time.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing FAQs

IPL Laser

For our patients in Rockford IPL Laser (Intense Pulsed Light laser treatment) can be a rejuvenating, non-surgical way to improve the texture and color of your skin. IPL laser treatments can correct multiple skin conditions, from acne to discolored skin to unwanted hair.

At PryorHealth, our board-certified and fellowship-trained team of doctors and nurses perform IPL laser treatments with care and precision. If you have been struggling with acne, brown spots, discolored skin, or unwanted hair, schedule a consultation with one of our skincare experts to learn if IPL Laser might be right for you.

What is IPL Laser?

IPL Laser, also known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, uses computer-guided pulses of light to specifically target certain colors of the skin. Like other laser therapies, these high-intensity beams of light heat the skin at the point of contact, damaging the unwanted cells. The body then removes these cells and replaces them with new ones. When the new cells come in, the unwanted blemish or discoloration fades or disappears entirely.

The difference between IPL Laser treatment and other laser treatments is that IPL uses lights of multiple wavelengths at once. These multi-wave treatments allow the IPL clinicians at PryorHealth to target multiple skin conditions with a single treatment.

Am I a Candidate for IPL Laser?

If you would like relief from discolored, blemished skin, our Rockford IPL Laser treatment may be right for you. IPL laser therapy can effectively treat the following conditions:

Acne
Freckles
Age spots
Birthmarks
Stretch marks
Unwanted hair
Broken blood vessels

Scars
Rosacea
Dark spots
Liver spots
Varicose veins
Discolored skinhair
Fine lines and wrinkles

While IPL treatment can be a versatile and effective treatment option for multiple skin conditions, there are some situations where you should avoid IPL. IPL treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant, have very dark skin, have skin cancer, or keloids.

At PryorHealth in Rockford IPL Laser treatment is only recommended after a thorough skin analysis and discussion of health background during your consultation. We pride ourselves on taking care of you, and that means making sure you are a healthy candidate for procedures like IPL. If you are not, our innovative team can help find other ways to help you reach your skin goals.

What to Expect From IPL Laser Treatment

If you are interested in IPL Laser Rockford, Barrington, or Chicago North Shore patients' first step is a consultation with the highly trained providers at PryorHealth.

We will assess your condition, listen to your concerns, and craft a treatment plan using IPL Laser treatment to help address them. We will also provide you with information about how to manage your body before and after the treatment to maximize the benefits of your procedure.

What to Expect During IPL Laser

On your treatment day, our providers will prepare the treatment area on your body using a gel. You will also receive protective eyewear to make sure the light doesn’t hurt your eyes.

Once the procedure begins, the applicator will be placed directly over the treatment area. During their treatment with IPL laser Rockford patients typically say the treatment is relatively painless, though you may feel a slight pinch when the light is applied. The procedure typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Since IPL laser treatment is noninvasive and requires no anesthesia, you are free to go about your day following treatment.

IPL Laser Recovery

While IPL laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure, you will likely feel like you’ve had a sunburn on the treatment area for several hours following the procedure. It is also very important to make sure the affected area does not receive sun exposure following treatment. You may experience redness at the treatment site that fades over the next few days.

Before your IPL treatment, your provider at PryorHealth will offer you guidance on how to best care for your skin during this phase. Follow the guidelines they provide to stay protected and ensure the best results.

IPL Laser Treatment Results

You should see results within a week or two of your treatment. As your skin heals, the discolored or damaged portions of the skin will flake off, revealing newer, healthier skin beneath.

While you will see results after your first treatment, you may need multiple treatments to reach the desired effect, depending on the nature of your condition and its severity. Your IPL provider at PryorHealth will give you more accurate estimates on the number of treatments you might need to reach the results you want.

Your IPL Laser Consultation at PryorHealth

At PryorHealth in Rockford IPL laser treatment is performed with care and precision by our highly trained IPL technicians. We take great care to ensure safe outcomes while maximizing your results. Schedule a consultation today to see how Intense Pulsed Light therapy can use the healing power of light to brighten your skin!

Consultation and Preparation

Part of our core philosophy at PryorHealth is to ensure that each patient receives totally customized care that is tailored specifically to their individual needs and concerns.

If we determine together that you are a great candidate for CoolPeel, we will schedule your appointment and cover any necessary preparations.

Procedure

At your appointment, we will start by cleansing the face and we may use a topical cream to numb the treatment area if needed based on your comfort preferences. Then, your provider will gently glide the tool over your face with a precise, even application. A CoolPeel treatment typically takes around five to 15 minutes for the full face.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

CoolPeel FAQs

Morpheus8

Tighten up with Morpheus8, a revolutionary minimally invasive skin-tightening and subdermal adipose remodeling (SARD) procedure with virtually no downtime. Morpheus8 quickly restructures the underlying dermal layers with radiofrequency and microneedling merged into a single platform.

This modality is excellent for lifting and smoothing textural imperfections on the jowls, arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. It can also improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and pigmentary concerns like sun damage.

Morpheus8 Microneedling at PryorHealth

Your dermis is the structural foundation of your skin. When the dermal layer degrades due to aging, injury, or the effects of sun exposure, the overlying skin becomes slack. The layer beneath the dermis also loses tone when it stores excess fatty tissue. At Pryor Health in Rockford Morpheus8 is utilized as a powerful dual technology that improves skin firmness and remodels adipose tissue to achieve smoother-looking, youthful body contours.

What is Morpheus8?

InMode Morpheus8 is a precisely calibrated fractional body treatment that applies powerful bipolar radiofrequency energy and microneedling to the skin at a maximum depth of eight millimeters. The microscopic punctures from the ultra-fine needles initiate a repair process within the dermis, while heat from the radiofrequency aids in remodeling the skin by coagulating the adipose tissue. RF microneedling with Morpheus8 stimulates collagen and elastin production and simultaneously initiates lipolysis, giving the skin relief a smoother, tighter contour.

Benefits of Morpheus8 for Body

A treatment with Morpheus8 promotes evenly textured skin for a more ageless-looking body. As a minimally invasive procedure, it tightens prematurely lax skin and diminishes the appearance of cellulite, scars, and striae without general anesthesia, surgical risks, or lengthy downtime.

Morpheus8 is also excellent for reducing pore visibility and reversing sun damage. Depending on the depth of the treatment, it can also melt unwanted fat in the hypodermis, the deepest layer of skin, for a more sculpted, refined appearance.

Aesthetic Concerns Addressed with Morpheus8 Body

Sun damage
Cellulite dimples
Mild-to-moderate skin laxity
Stretch marks and acne scars

Enlarged pores
Rippling after liposuction
Deep wrinkles and fine lines

Am I a candidate for Morpheus8 for Body?

If you are interested in improving your body skin texture and tonality with Morpheus8 Rockford and Winnebago County residents are encouraged to contact Pryor Health. Most clients are ideal candidates since this treatment works on all Fitzpatrick Skin Types. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and those with a history of keloid scar formation may not be eligible.

People with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, actinic keratosis, herpes simplex, diabetes, hemophilia, or broken skin at the treatment area should speak to our laser-and-energy specialists to determine if they can safely undergo the treatment. Finally, if you have severely lax skin after weight loss or pregnancy, our surgical body contouring procedures may result in a better outcome.

Your Pryor Health service provider will examine you and explain your options in detail so you can make the best choice for you.

Morpheus8 Body Treatment Areas

Abdomen
Jowls and neck
Thighs and above the knees

Upper arms
Back, bra line, and flanks
Any area with contour irregularities after liposuction

Consultation and Preparation

Laser skin resurfacing and hair removal might not be an ideal skin enhancement solution for everyone.Our team at Pryor Health will assess your skin quality, aesthetic concerns, and medical history to determine whether Morpheus8 is appropriate. They will explain the process from start to finish, including what to expect during Morpheus8 recovery. You will also receive a detailed price quote and have all your questions answered.

To prepare for the treatment, you may need to avoid alcohol, fish oil, NSAIDs, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, St. John's Wort, and ginseng for several days. It is also a good idea to avoid topical retinoids, harsh exfoliants, sunless tanning products, and strong sun in the days leading up to your session.

Procedure

The process takes approximately two hours, depending on the size and number of body areas. To ensure a comfortable experience, our Rockford Morpheus8 providers first apply topical anesthetic cream to decrease sensitivity.

Once sufficiently numbed, expect to feel mild heat and a series of pinpricks as the radiofrequency and microneedling work in tandem to remodel the dermis and coagulate the adipose tissue. Before you know it, you will be ready to head home and begin a brief healing process.

Morpheus8 Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

There is no true downtime after Morpheus8 since clothing easily masks the treated area as it heals. Immediately post-session, expect some redness, swelling, grid marks, and pin-point bleeding. Tiny scabs may form that crust and flake away over the next three to ten days. Bruising is possible. Plan to avoid sun, aggressive skincare products, NSAIDs, saunas, and alcohol for a few days. You can shower later in the day, but do not scrub the area and use mild, fragrance-free soap.

Over the next three months after Morpheus8 Rockford residents notice improvements such as tighter, smoother skin and fewer pigmentary concerns. Your provider may recommend two to six sessions for optimal results.

Morpheus8 FAQs

ULTHERAPY

Whether for the face, neck, or décolletage Ultherapy can provide a subtle lift where you need it most. For decades, cosmetic surgery has been considered the only effective way to reverse the damaging effects of heredity, sun exposure, and time.

Thankfully, due to recent technological breakthroughs, things have changed significantly. At PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center in Rockford Ultherapy is offered as a cutting edge anti-aging treatment.

With the new Ultherapy treatment, without the cost, discomfort, and downtime associated with cosmetic surgery, you can lift, tone, and tighten your skin!

ULTHERAPY BENEFITS

Ultherapy’s anti-aging skincare approach is revolutionary. Ultherapy utilizes the body’s own healing process to help lift and tighten loose skin. Safe, natural, and completely non-invasive – with no surgery and no downtime. Harnesses the power of ultrasound, the FDA-cleared Ultherapy device targets and stimulates the skin’s deep structural support system without disturbing the skin’s surface.

If you are concerned about lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin, Ultherapy is the natural choice. Call PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center today to schedule a Rockford Ultherapy consultation to find out whether this anti-aging treatment is right for you.

Microneedling Facial

At PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center, we are always looking for the latest techniques and treatments to restore health and beauty to your skin.

With Microneedling, we utilize the exfoliating qualities of micro-needling to provide ideal skin rejuvenation.

Located in Rockford, Illinois, PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center was founded by world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Landon Pryor. Contact us today to schedule a Rockford Microneedling consultation and find out how a Microneedling Facial can rejuvenate your skin.

Why Choose Microneedling?

After preparing and gently exfoliating your skin with the Eclipse MicroPen™ microneedling treatment, the skin absorbs much more effectively. Combining these treatments, our medical team can help revitalize your skin while optimizing the healing process to promote significant, long-lasting, natural results.

While a Microneedling Facial can help restore a more youthful appearance to aging or damaged skin, the skin may require regular maintenance to sustain your results. Our team will create a treatment plan for you based on your individual-skincare needs.

Eclipse Micropen Microneedling

Consisting of several tiny needles in a sterile treatment tip, the Eclipse MicroPen™ is one of the most popular and advanced microneedling devices in the cosmetic industry. As the device is moved over the skin by our medical team, the needles create microchannels in the skin that are invisible to the naked eye and catalyze the body’s natural healing process.

As one of the least invasive methods of skin rejuvenation, microneedling stimulates the production of new collagen fibers, tightening and smoothing the skin. Microneedling is a quick, painless treatment, easy to fit into your busy life schedule.

Hydra Facial

The body’s ability to exfoliate and remove blemishes diminishes as we age, causing skin tone to become uneven and the pores to become congested.

Creams and pastes exist to enhance exfoliation but many find them to be ineffective. If you are seeking effective, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation for wrinkles, pore congestion, acne scarring, etc. at our Med Spa in Rockford HydraFacial could be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Why HydraFacial?

HydraFacial can be the ideal exfoliating treatment for the working professional because it requires zero downtime and can be performed within the typical lunch break.

HydraFacial also doesn’t require any sort of incision, so those who cannot undergo surgery or other invasive procedures don’t have to worry. HydraFacial can treat a variety of skin conditions, including but not limited to:

Fine Lines
Hyperpigmentation
Lax Skin

Wrinkles
Enlarged Pores
Sun Spots

HydraFacial’s formula has been designed for immediately visible results as well as subtle improvements over time.

Am I a Candidate for HydraFacial Treatment?

Most healthy adults who seek HydraFacial treatment will be qualified for the procedure. In order to answer this question for certain, a consultation is required. A consultation appointment will involve a patient sitting down with a practitioner to discuss their medical history and cosmetic goals.

If the practitioner discovers an allergy or some other condition that could complicate the procedure for a patient, they will go over possible alternatives. During a consultation for hydrafacial Rockford aesthetic experts will do their best to answer your questions and look forward to helping you address your cosmetic concerns.

Chemical Peels

Bring out your skin’s natural radiance with a gentle chemical peel to remove surface contaminants, dead skin cells, and impurities that dull your skin’s appearance.

A chemical peel can make your skin look refreshed and renewed, with increased firmness and smoothness, and well as enhanced luminance and glow.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a gentle, minimally-invasive skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to gently lift off the outermost layers of the skin, revealing an underlying layer of fresh, new skin cells and vibrant, glowing skin.

Dermatologists recommend chemical peels to treat an array of skin conditions, from acne scars to a dull, lackluster complexion, and peels may be used on both men and women, and even in older teens, as young as 17 years old, if they suffer from acne. A chemical peel may effectively diminish visible surface imperfections such as acne scars and surface discoloration, as well as visible signs of aging on the face and other areas, such as the neck, decolletage, chest, and hands.

How Does the Procedure Work?

A chemical peel consists of a specialized chemical formula that is applied to the skin in the treatment area to dissolve its outermost layer or epidermis.

There are different types of peels, ranging in intensity and effectiveness. A gentler peel may produce only a very slight peeling effect, or no visible peeling at all, while a deeper peel will typically yield more comprehensive results, but may also require a slightly less comfortable peeling process, with more intense peeling over a longer period.

During a chemical peel Rockford patients may feel a mild irritation on the surface of the skin that may last several minutes, followed by a slight burning or stinging sensation. Applying cool compresses on the skin typically alleviates this mild discomfort. You may use over the counter pain medication if needed to alleviate discomfort during or following a deeper peel.

Is a Chemical Peel Safe?

The chemical peel process is completely safe and is most suitable for individuals with conditions such as acne and acne scarring, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, textured skin, and visible signs of aging, such as surface lines and wrinkles on the skin. A chemical peel is essentially a chemical exfoliation process that penetrates the skin’s deeper layers to provoke the outermost layers of the skin to begin peeling and shedding.

By treating the outermost epidermis with specialized chemical solutions, such as natural acids, a chemical peel can trigger increased collagen production in skin cells, stimulating the production of healthy, glowing new skin. Once your chemical peel has completely peeled off, it will reveal a fresh, new layer of plump, hydrated skin cells that impart a healthy and radiant glow to your skin.

Over time, as your skin accumulates fewer dead skin cells on its surface thanks to regular chemical peels, you will notice that the skin peels less and less with each subsequent peel.

How Long Do Results Last?

The results of a superficial chemical peel will be visible as soon as your skin heals from the peeling, typically within a couple of weeks.

Normally a light chemical peel such as a light glycolic acid peel may produce results lasting from 1 to 2 months. Treatments spaced from six to eight weeks apart work well to keep fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, acne scarring, and photo-damage under control.

Deeper peels may take longer to complete the peeling process and may also produce more lasting results. At PryorHealth Medspa & Wellness Center, our knowledgeable Rockford chemical peel providers can advise you as to the best peel for you and the frequency of treatments that best suits your skin type.

What Should I Know About After-Care Following a Chemical Peel?

You may feel some soreness and tingling on the surface of your skin following a chemical peel, which may be alleviated by applying cold compresses and a cooling gel or lotion. You must avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours following your treatment.

You may choose to stay indoors for the first several days while the peel heals, in order to avoid any type of sun exposure during this delicate time, and also because the skin on your face will probably be visibly peeling. Do not pick at, pull, or otherwise irritate the dry, peeling skin. Let the peel follow its own natural process.

Additionally, after a chemical peel Rockford patients will have to avoid other cosmetic treatments such as injectables, facials, laser skin resurfacing, and treatments such as microdermabrasion or microneedling until the peeling process has thoroughly healed and all peeling has subsided.

Coolsculpting

Freeze Away Fat Without Surgery!

At PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center, we offer the very latest in CoolSculpting treatments to our clients.

Our talented and professional team of aesthetic experts will meet with you one-on-one to discuss your aesthetic and weight loss goals, along with your medical history and methods of weight loss you have tried in the past.

We are here to answer any questions you may have about CoolSculpting Rockford patients are encouraged to Contact PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center today to schedule a consultation.

What Is Coolsculpting

The CoolSculpting technique derives its name from its method of tackling troublesome fat deposits - by freezing them.

This technique effectively kills fat cells that build up and compose your stubborn fat deposits like love handles and “spare tires”. The body then naturally eliminates these frozen cells from the body, delivering you a lean contoured physique.

This process is medically known as cryolipolysis and has been revealed to result in more attractive body contours via extreme cold. Another major benefit of CoolSculpting is that it can be applied to nearly every area of the body to fight fat deposits.

Coolsculpting -How It Works

CoolSculpting makes use of an applicator device that is connected to a hose. Cold air delivered via this hose and into the applicator, which is then able to freeze unwanted fat cells. A gel pad is used during this procedure and covers the area that will be treated to protect the skin.

After just several minutes you will start to feel the cold begin to work. Uncommonly some experience aching, cramping, or a tingling sensation. But these are not severe and disappear quickly.

At PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center, we work hard to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. Our clients often say CoolSculpting is not painful in any way. A usual treatment session typically takes around one hour. After CoolSculpting Rockford patients will have the treated areas massaged to help restore healthy blood flow.

Coolsculpting Results

Fat cells crystallize when they are frozen. The body then naturally eliminates these fat cells from the body over a period of about two months. Your body utilizes enzymes found in your immune system to assimilate and dissipate these fat cells at which point they are gone for good.

If you newly gain weight some time down the road after your CoolSculpting treatment, the new fat cells can appear in parts of your body that were not treated.

If exercise and diet have failed and you are seeking a new method to resolve unwanted fat deposits, CoolSculpting may be the final answer. Contact us PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center today to schedule your CoolSculpting consultation.

ULTHERAPY BENEFITS

Microneedling Facial

At PryorHealth MedSpa & Wellness Center, we are always looking for the latest techniques and treatments to restore health and beauty to your skin.

With Microneedling, we utilize the exfoliating qualities of micro-needling to provide ideal skin rejuvenation.

Why Choose Microneedling?

HydraFacial

The body’s ability to exfoliate and remove blemishes diminishes as we age, causing skin tone to become uneven and the pores to become congested.

Creams and pastes exist to enhance exfoliation but many find them to be ineffective. If you are seeking effective, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation for wrinkles, pore congestion, acne scarring, etc. at our Med Spa in Rockford Hydrafacial could be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Chemical Peels

Bring out your skin’s natural radiance with a gentle chemical peel to remove surface contaminants, dead skin cells, and impurities that dull your skin’s appearance.

A chemical peel can make your skin look refreshed and renewed, with increased firmness and smoothness, and well as enhanced luminance and glow.
