Melanoma Research Foundation Gala – November 4th, 2021

We are excited to announce that Dr. Carolyn Jacob and Dr. Rachel Pritzker will be co-chairing the Gala this year! We are also ecstatic to announce that Dr. Tracy Campbell will be honored with the Excellence in Prevention Award! Ten years ago, there was only one approved treatment for metastatic melanoma. Today there are over 16. The critical dollars raised at the 7th Anniversary Gala will fund research grants at medical institutions across the United States to explore better treatments for patients. The Melanoma Research Foundation has been instrumental in supporting cutaneous melanoma research and has been a leader in funding research in the rarer forms of melanoma—ocular, mucosal and pediatric. The results of this research will pave the way to more treatment options, and my hope is, one day to find a cure. This year we are offering our patients, who purchase a ticket to the MRF Gala, a $200 discount on ANY cosmetic treatment with Dr. Carolyn Jacob or Dr. Rachel Pritzker only. If you would like to purchase a ‘single ticket’ and attend the MRF Gala, click here. Once your ticket is purchased, please email your receipt to [email protected] to qualify for the $200 discount.

Get to know… Angela “Angie” Nesci, LE

  Angela “Angie” Nesci, LE,  joined CCSD as an experienced Licensed Esthetician and is also the coordinator of our esthetic department. Angie has worked in the specialty field of Dermatology since 2007, after certifying as a Medical Assistant in 2006. With a passion for skin health, and a desire to do more to help people look and feel their best, she graduated from The Aveda Institute as a Licensed Esthetician in 2011. Prior to joining CCSD, Angie practiced expert medical esthetics under the umbrella of Northwestern Medicine for over 10 years! Let's get to know Angela "Angie" Nesci, LE more! Question: Besides having a passion for skin/skincare what are other things that interest you? Angie: I love working out/lifting weights first thing in the morning; it helps me clear my mind and set intentions for my day.  Q: Who or what inspired you to get into skincare? A: I've never had clear skin, I had acne as an adolescent (and still as an adult) but being educated on proper skincare and ways to improve my skin health was a confidence booster in my life. I wanted to be able to give that to other people.  Q: What's your golden skincare rule that you tell your patients to always follow? A: Less is more, using more products does not equal better skin. Consistency is key.  Q: What's the worst skincare trend you've seen/heard of and what's an alternative to the trend? A: DIY skincare masks and creams! Natural/household ingredients are great but blending them yourself can cause more harm than good. Patients should see an esthetician or dermatologist for a consultation to discuss products that are suitable for their skincare needs and skin type.  Q: If you weren't a Licensed Esthetician what career do you see yourself having? A: There is always a part in an EPIC movie scene where the background music kicks in..... I want to be the person who puts the music there.   Call/text our office at 312-245-9965 or book online for your next Esthetic treatment today!

August is Hair Loss Awareness Month

Suffering with excessive shedding, thinning or loss of hair can be a silent struggle for both male and female patients. Hair loss has many causes including (but not limited to) heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or medications associated with them, a stressful life event and certain styling techniques. Diagnosis is often incredibly patient specific, which is why it is important you seek the guidance of a hair loss expert. Dr. Omer Ibrahim’s interest in the condition of alopecia and hair loss began with working alongside Dr. Wilma Fowler Bergfeld at the Cleveland Clinic, who is one of the nation’s top experts on hair loss. As the hair growth guru of Chicago, Dr. Ibrahim makes time for his hair loss patient’s during clinic hours recommending many successful results-driven patient care plans. What hair loss treatment options are available? One of  the most popular treatments for hair loss at CCSD is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. PRP is blood plasma that contains essential proteins to stimulate natural hair growth. This therapy involves drawing a patient’s own blood, spinning it so that only enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma) remain, and re-injecting it into the scalp. New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months following treatment. Hair growth will continue to improve up to a year thereafter. Take a look at Dr. Ibrahim’s amazing results HERE. Call 312-245-9965 option 2 or book online, to schedule your hair loss appointment today!

Client Reviews

Love love Dr. Ibrahim. He helped me to find a combination that helps with my acne scars due to cystic acne in my teenage year. Just like anything in medicine, good things take time with a good skin care and medical grade products. I continue to see him for Botox concurrently with the acne scar regimen, so l can get a snatch jawline again. He is funny and a knowledgeable. The best compliment I had was when my patient see me every 3 months saw my skin recently and complimented on it. I have found myself not wearing makeup and only using tinted SPF.

— Huong Iodice

Dr. Grushchak is my favorite derm I've been to so far. She is very professional and has great bedside manner. Same thing goes for all the staff. I always see great results after leaving the office. The office itself is very clean and enjoyable to visit. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to the friendly staff at CCSD for always making my visits pleasant and efficient! An even bigger thank you to Dr. Jacob for the phenomenal job she did all but erasing a scar on my face from skin cancer, and the amazing job she always does defying Mother Nature keeping my face looking young and alert!

— Christopher

Dr. Ibrahim is AMAZING. He has such a wonderful “bed side manner” and his experience is multifaceted. I go to him for both regular skin concerns and cosmetic reasons and he has been able to help with every issue I have! He is by far the best dermatologist I have been to and I recommend him 100%!

— Maddy

— Rosalina

I am BEYOND obsessed with this place! From the front door staff, to the medical assistants to wonder women herself (Dr. Jacob) and her amazing counter parts- hands down the most magical experience EVER! Not to mention if you’re going here for cosmetic reasons, Dr. Ibrahim is an absolute MAGICIAN/WIZARD with injectables! My lips are the best on Instagram! I 100000% recommend this place over and over and over again!

— Kelly

I have lines above the bridge of my nose, wanted a more relaxed, rested look. I had a dysport appointment, it was ontime, my nurse asked if I had any concerns.I was a little nervous… Then Dr. Jacob came in, made sure I was comfortable. She asked if I wanted more of an arch in my eyebrow. She said it would really opened my eye area… 4 days later… Full effect…AWESOME results!! Very…

— Gracie

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ibrahim Omer for a few months now for some derm issues (perioral dermatitis, eczema). He instantly identifies the problem and prescribes appropriately. He is also great with taking the time to explain what’s happening, and how to manage the medications and creams once I get home. I’ve never done botox or fillers, but am planning to return for a little boost once my skin heals. The front desk is attentive, and appointments run on time. I’ve never waited more than a few minutes.
