The exact mechanics of your treatment is dependent of the type of laser you need. However, the light energy of the laser will target and destroy your skin concerns on both the surface level of your skin, and the underlying layers. This heating of the dermis (underlying layers) stimulates collagen production over time, resulting in better skin tone and texture.

Your laser treatment at our Chicago medical spa will begin with a consultation in which you and your Ellehomme provider will determine your aesthetic goals. Our non-invasive laser treatments involves rapid bursts of light to penetrate the skin, which may result in a warm sensation on the treatment area. The procedures are quick and simple, typically only taking about 15-30 minutes depending on the skin condition being treated!

The number of treatments you will need are dependent on the severity of your skin concerns. Our AviClear acne laser typically takes at least 3 short 30-minute sessions for best results. Our IPL Photofacial may take at least 2 treatments to completely rid brown spots, sun spots, rosacea and more. Your treatment plan will be discussed during your initial consultation.

After your laser treatment: No exercise/working out for at least 24 hours afterwards, limit sun exposure, and be kind to your skin! Ditch the harsh chemical exfoliants until your skin is recovered. Our expert team will ensure you know all post-treatment tips during your appointment.

You sure can! The great thing about our laser treatments is there's virtually no downtime. You might have some redness, warmth and dark coloration of your treatment area, but this will usually go away within the next day or so.
