Each of us is uniquely defined by our physical form and internal functions. However, external factors and lifestyle patterns, such as stress, sun exposure, environmental influences, and diet, significantly impact the health and appearance of our skin.
Cosmetic medicine offers a range of sophisticated treatments, advanced laser technologies, and medical-grade skincare products to address various skin concerns. At Schaumburg Dermatology, conveniently located for Arlington Heights residents, our primary goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin, regardless of your age.
Explore the concerns listed below to discover the specific cosmetic treatment options available to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation often result from environmental factors, with sun exposure being a major contributor. Sun damage can manifest as redness, visible broken blood vessels, and the appearance of brown spots. Over time, this can lead to a dull complexion and make you look older than you feel.
The natural aging process, accelerated by excessive or prolonged sun exposure, leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the essential structural proteins in your skin. This breakdown can result in loss of facial volume, the formation of noticeable folds, crepey and sagging skin texture, and the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
Superficial skin irregularities, rough skin texture, and enlarged or clogged pores are common skin concerns. These issues can be influenced by various factors, including medical or hormonal conditions, lifestyle choices, the aging process, and the absence of a consistent and effective at-home skincare routine.
Dealing with unwanted hair in various areas can be time-consuming, costly, and frustrating. Traditional hair removal methods like plucking, tweezing, shaving, and waxing can lead to skin irritation, bumps, ingrown hairs, and even scars. At Schaumburg Dermatology, our advanced laser system offers a safe and effective solution for all skin types, precisely targeting and removing unwanted hair without damaging the surrounding skin.
Visible leg veins, commonly known as spider veins, are a frequent concern for both men and women and can cause unnecessary self-consciousness. Fortunately, advancements in cosmetic medicine now offer easy and effective solutions to significantly reduce the appearance of these veins. Feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
Reduce stubborn, unwanted fat and achieve a more contoured physique with our non-invasive body contouring treatments, which require no downtime. This procedure is excellent for targeting resistant areas such as the abdomen, love handles, saddlebags, and bra rolls. We utilize the advanced Exilis Elite system, which safely delivers focused thermal energy into the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, resulting in smoother, more sculpted skin.
Throughout our lives, many of us will experience scarring from acne, injuries, or surgical procedures. Depending on the scar’s location and severity, it can have a significant emotional impact. At Schaumburg Dermatology, we offer a range of effective treatment options to help minimize the appearance of various types of scars. Please note that raised scars may require an initial evaluation with one of our medical providers before pursuing cosmetic treatment.
