Cosmetic Procedures for Men: Get Summer-Ready!

Summer is a time when many people want to look their best. With the hot weather and more time spent outdoors, it's a great time to take a closer look at your appearance and consider cosmetic procedures that can help you achieve the look you want. While cosmetic procedures are often associated with women, men can also benefit from these treatments. In this blog, we'll discuss some cosmetic procedures that men can have to look their best for summer. Emsculpt NEO This non-invasive body contouring treatment reduces fat and improves muscle tone. Using radiofrequency (RF) waves and high-intensity electromagnetic energy concurrently helps patients achieve a more sculpted and toned physique. This procedure can be performed on the abdomen, flanks, and other areas of the body. Emsculpt NEO is safe and effective for those who want to improve their body contour without plastic surgery or downtime. Laser Hair Removal Excessive hair can be a source of embarrassment for some men. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted body hair. This treatment uses laser energy to target the hair follicles, preventing them from growing back. Laser hair removal is a long-term solution that can save men time and money in the long run, as they no longer need to spend time and money on shaving or waxing. These are just two of many cosmetic procedures that men can have to look their best for summer. To learn more about other options for men or to schedule a consultation, please reach out online or call Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.

Treat Yourself to a Mommy Makeover in Chicago

It’s no secret that mothers have some of the most challenging jobs out there and make a multitude of sacrifices for their children. Some give up careers, others have to work multiple jobs, and single moms are simply doing it all on their own. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, here’s a reminder to thank moms everywhere. Mother’s Day is also a great time for moms everywhere to celebrate their accomplishments and do something nice for themselves. If you’re longing for the pre-pregnancy body you used to have, a mommy makeover may be just the thing you need. Common complaints from moms about their bodies include: Extra tummy weight Stretch marks Sagging breasts Stubborn pockets of fat deposits on hips and thighs Facial stress lines and wrinkles Mommy makeovers are customized to address many issues, and because everyone is different, your makeover will be tailored specifically for you and your goals. In most cases, combinations of procedures can be done at the same time for a true makeover. Surgical options include a tummy tuck, breast lift, liposuction, facelift, and more. Non-surgical options may include laser treatments, skin tightening procedures, injectables, and chemical peels. With a combination of these procedures, your mommy makeover can help you look and feel your best. Your surgeon will be able to recommend the best combination of procedures to help you achieve your desired results. Not feeling confident about your body can seriously affect your self-esteem, motivation, productivity, and more. Think about how good it feels to buy a new outfit or get your hair done—that simple act of self-care can be rejuvenating enough to help you get through a rough time. Mommy makeovers can help similarly, but the effects last longer and have far more impact. To learn more about mommy makeovers, schedule a consultation for an in-depth discussion about your cosmetic goals. Reach out online or call Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.

4 Best Ways to Protect Skin From Sun Damage

The sun’s rays can be incredibly damaging to your skin, even on cloudy days. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer. Fortunately, there are many ways to protect your skin from sun damage. Here are some tips to keep your skin safe, healthy, and hydrated. 1. Wear Protective Clothing One of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your skin from sun exposure is to wear protective clothing. This includes long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats that provide shade for your face and neck. Clothing made from lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen helps you keep cool in the sun and prevents overheating. 2. Apply Sunscreen Sunscreen is a must for protecting your skin from UV radiation. Use a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of at least 30. Apply it generously to all exposed areas of skin for at least 15 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or more frequently if you are swimming or sweating. 3. Stay Hydrated Staying hydrated is important for maintaining healthy skin, especially during the summer months. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin moisturized and hydrated, which can further protect your skin from sun damage. 4. Avoid Tanning Beds Tanning beds are not a safe alternative to natural sunlight. They expose your skin to high levels of UV radiation, increasing your risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Instead, use a self-tanning product. Following these tips will help protect skin from sun damage and keep it looking healthy for years to come. Remember, prevention is key when it comes to protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. To schedule a skin cancer screening, please contact Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.

Welcome our newest treatment, EmFace!

We are thrilled to welcome our newest treatment, EmFace! Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is one of the first offices in the country to offer EmFace to our patients. Our providers have been using injectable fillers for years to help volumize the face, however there was no solution for muscle loss. There aren’t many solutions to also simultaneously restore loss of collagen and elastic tissue in the skin. But now there is, thanks to the EmFace! What is EmFace? EmFace is the first and ONLY needle-free procedure that simultaneously treats facial skin and muscles in just 4 sessions. Starting at the age of 20, we loose collagen about 1% per year until age 30. After the age of 30, some of the underlying structures have loosened, resulting in sagging skin. Patients who can benefit most from EmFace are of the ages 30 and up, however, everybody can benefit from less wrinkles and more lift! Clinical Studies showed that the simultaneous energies of EmFace reduces the effects of the facial aging process. 37% Wrinkle Reduction 23% Lifting Effect 30% Increase in Muscle Tone How does EmFace work? EmFace is the first device on the market utilizing the simultaneous application of both the Synchronized RF and HIFES. Synchronized REF smooths skin by heating the dermis and increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers. While the HIFES technology restores & elevates support of facial tissues by selectively contracting muscles and increasing density & quality of muscle structure. Treatment will consist of 4 – 20 minute sessions performed once a week, where you can relax while you let the device gently stimulate the facial muscles and thicken the skin. The results achieve what younger faces have – which is better / thicker muscles and thicker skin.  EmFace can help your skin in 3 ways        Replenishing collagen       Thickening and tightening the muscle for better lift       Improving the overall appearance of your skin Call to schedule an EmFace consultation today! EmFace can be used with fillers, neuromodulators, skincare and more to give you a more youthful, fresh appearance.
