EMSCULPT

New at Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, Emsculpt is perfect for people who want to get an edge on their workouts, people who want to enhance their lipo or CoolSculpting results, people who want strong abs and can’t get them on their own (no matter how hard they try!), and people who want to lift and tone their buttocks (who doesn’t?). Suitable for both men and women with a healthy weight, patients will need a course of 4 treatments; 2 per week for 2 weeks.  At 3 months thereafter, patients should get monthly treatments to maintain their result. Current data has shown that Emsculpt can decrease separation of the abdominal muscles post-pregnancy (also known as rectus diastasis) by 11%, decrease fat by 19% and increase abdominal muscle mass by 16% thus improving tone. Treatments take 30 min for an abdomen and 1 hour to buttocks with one of our highly trained Physician Assistants. Find out more on our website and book a FREE consultation!

Join the Sunscreen Scene

Sunscreen helps to protect your skin from sunburn, early skin aging and skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends everyone use sunscreen offering Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays), an SPF 30 or higher and with water resistance. When dealing with reapplic­ation, the FDA requirement for label directions is to reapply every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating. However, everyone should be aware that redness is not a sign to reapply sunscreen, but rather to to get out of the sun. If the skin is red at the time of reapplying, this is a sign your skin is already burning. In addition to wearing sunscreen, dermatologists recommend taking the following steps to protect your skin and find skin cancer early: - Seek shade - One shot glass amount (1oz) of sunscreen will cover your entire body - Wear protective clothing - Use extra caution near water, snow and sand - Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet - Avoid tanning beds - Check your birthday suit on your birthday with a board-certified CCSD provider!

Defend, Catch & Take Action! How to be a Skin Cancer Hero

May is skin cancer awareness month. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, there are over 5 million diagnosed cases of skin cancer in the United States each year. This makes skin cancer one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer, fortunately it is also one of the most preventable and treatable. About 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 85% of melanoma cases are associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. By raising awareness of the dangers of unprotected exposure and encouraging sun-safe habits, we can change behaviors and save lives. Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, in association with the AAD’s SPOTMe campaign, will be running free full body mole checks on Monday, May 7th, Thursday, May 17th and Monday May 21st. In addition to running these free mole check clinics, our staff will be participating in Miles for Melanoma on Saturday, June 2nd at Diversey Harbor. This 5k event for walkers and runners aims to raise awareness and money for research in the fight against melanoma. To join the CCSD team or donate to this worthy cause please click HERE. All are welcome! On Monday, May 7th at 9:20am, Dr. Carolyn Jacob appeared on FOX News  bringing awareness to the ABCDE’s of skin cancer - Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter and Evolution. If you have a changing mole or skin lesion call CCSD today at 312-245-9965 to set up your annual full body mole check visit!

CCSD: Supporting Science & Research

Here at CCSD we always strive to provide the latest and greatest in treatment options and knowledge for our patients. Both Dr. Carolyn Jacob and Brittany Rank, PA-C were key investigators in the clinical research for Emsculpt body contouring, making us one of the most familiar with the device and best able to provide optimal outcomes for patients. More recently Dr. Omer Ibrahim was published in Dermatologic Surgery magazine on the topic of injectable filler nodules and their implications in clinical practice. Although rare, if a nodule or inflammation does occur, our expert physicians are able to provide safe and swift resolution using their years of research and experience. In the coming months, Dr. Jacob and Dr. Ibrahim will also be participating in an FDA clinical trial regarding an investigational medication for treating cellulite. Exciting stuff! Well done CCSD movers and shakers - why choose good, when you can have great!? Subscribers of  our newsletter and blog will always be the first to know when we have something new to promote, so watch this space for information on future clinical trials.

April is National Rosacea Awareness Month

The National Rosacea Society (NRS) designates April as Rosacea Awareness Month to educate the public on the impact of this chronic disorder, estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans. Often observed as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go, the earliest signs of rosacea are often overlooked because people assume they are temporary. Without medical treatment the effects of rosacea can become increasingly severe. Common symptoms include blushing and flushing, persistent redness, bumps and pimples, visible blood vessels, eye irritation, burning or stinging, a dry appearance, plaques, skin thickening and swelling. The great news is that with medical help, Rosacea can be managed very well. CCSD offers many options for patients suffering with uncontrolled redness, including skincare, proprietary prescription medication and laser services. The laser services we recommend are Laser Genesis, a series of 6 treatments without any downtime that helps reduce background redness and evens skin tone, and ExcelV that can treat more noticeable broken capillaries. Don’t suffer in silence - call 312-245-9965 today to see if your friendly CCSD providers have the right solution for you!
