In 2009, she became professionally certified in make-up artistry from London Eyes Make-up School.

Nicole began her career in Plastic Surgery in 2014 as a Patient Coordinator working for a prominent cosmetic surgeon on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Educating, consulting, and helping patients through their surgical & non-surgical journeys led her to pursue her Esthetician career due to her in depth knowledge of the industry, and in 2018 she obtained her Esthetician License from G Skin & Beauty Institute.

CCSD Mask Reminder

At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, the health & safety of our patients, providers and staff have always been our top priority. We continue to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance for healthcare settings and continue to implement procedures to adhere to these guidelines. As you may know, the CDC recently released new masking recommendations that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance. However, as explicitly stated by the CDC, these new recommendations do NOT include healthcare settings, like CCSD. While we can't wait to see your smiling faces when visiting our practice, because we are a healthcare setting, CCSD will continue to require: ALL patients, providers and staff must continue to wear face masks, regardless of their vaccination status. We will continue to follow the full infection control procedures required by the CDC for healthcare settings. This includes masks, social distancing, enhanced infection prevention, monitoring and screening staff & patients (health survey and temp checks), and sanitizing clinic rooms and common areas.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in us as your dermatologic healthcare provider. Sincerely, Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology

NEW! FDA-approved cellulite injectable, QWO

NEW! FDA-approved cellulite injectable, QWO It’s here! Qwo is a new revolutionary non-surgical injectable treatment for cellulite, and we’re excited to offer it to our patients! Qwo uses an enzyme to break down fibrous bands that hold the skin down into a dimple position, thus releasing it and allowing the skin to appear smoother. Other cellulite treatments include cutting the fibrous bands (which is far more invasive and requires numbing medication) or focus more on the thickening of skin and massaging lymphatic systems to improve the appearance of cellulite. Approximately 90% of women have cellulite, no matter what they eat or how much they exercise. Qwo is the first and only FDA-approved injectable for moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women, administered 21 days apart for 3 treatment visits. Call our office at 312-245-9965 opt. 2, to schedule your cosmetic consultation and find out if Qwo is right for you!

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%!
