Practice News: CCSD is growing!

We are pleased to announce big changes for Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology in 2019. Alongside seeing her lovely patients, running a growing business and being super-mom to three energetic children (PHEW!), Dr. Jacob has been feverishly working away to secure a new office space for the Practice. With our increasing number of patients and rapidly expanding staff, we have known for some time that we would soon need a new home. We will be sad to leave our current home at 20 W Kinzie St., where it all began, but we are happy to share that our new space will remain in River North and provide almost three times the space of our current location. We will see patients on Thursday, April 4, 2019 and reopen in our new location at 515 N. State St., Suite 900 Chicago, IL 60654 the following Monday, April 8! The road to success is always under construction - we will keep all patients and friends of the Practice updated as progress develops!

Customized Esthetician Services – We know how to glow

The key to providing you customized skin treatments lies in understanding your skin type and health. Lucky for our patients, this is what we do best! While the skin is a formidable organ by itself, its physiology connects with the rest of the body. During your consultation, it is important you disclose any information about current medications, conditions, current lifestyle choices and details about your skin care regimen to our experienced estheticians. Our trained estheticians use this information, along with a unique camera to look at skin redness and brown spots to map a picture of where you currently are, and plan for improvement. They use highly customized treatments, including peels, masks, microdermabrasion, light therapy and extractions that only medical offices can provide, not “over-the-counter” procedures. In order to protect your skin and bring out that inner glow we need to treat the complete patient, not just the immediate problem. CCSD respects the differences in all skin types, because we are all so unique. Call 312-245-9965 today to schedule your highly specialized esthetician service with our dream team: Meaghan, Lizz or Angela. They look forward to taking care of you!

Eczema Awareness Month

We don’t know what exactly causes eczema. However researchers typically believe a combination of genes and a trigger are involved. People with eczema tend to have an over-reactive immune system that, when triggered by a substance outside or inside the body, responds by producing inflammation. It is this inflammation that causes the red, itchy and painful skin symptoms. Working to keep your symptoms under control is important to staying healthy and comfortable. It’s important to remember that eczema affects everyone differently, and that one person’s triggers may not be the same as another’s. You might experience symptoms at certain times of the year or on different areas of your body. Some everyday things that we know can trigger a flare are dry or dehydrated skin, irritants, stress, climate, infections, allergens and hormones. There are many things our expert MD’s and PA’s can do to manage your symptoms and make you more comfortable. If you have concerns about dry skin or eczema, call 312-245-9965 today to make an appointment with your trusted CCSD provider.

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!

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%!
