Treatments
Acne Treatment
Acne is caused by an overproduction of oil by the skin, and an accumulation of trapped oil and cells in blocked skin pores. The result is pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and cysts.
Bot-Ox and Fillers
Bot-Ox and Injectable Dermal Fillers
Solux med spa works in collaboration with Dr. Ricardo Izquierdo, a skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, in administering all bot-ox and dermal fillers. Dr. Iz is renowned for his light touch and talent for achieving the most natural-looking results.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers reduce signs of aging caused by diminishing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid – components of our skin that give it fullness. fillers are commonly used on the face and hands, and can effectively plump lips, fill hollow cheeks, diminish the appearance of scars, elevate deep creases, erase fine lines, and lift the brow or a down-turned mouth. Critical to achieving desirable results is the proper placement – and the right combination of dermal fillers. At solux med spa in Chicago we provide a broad range of fillers to meet specific needs - juvederm, restylane, radiesse, and sculptra - and all injections are skillfully administered by Dr. Izquierdo.
Bot-Ox
Bot-ox is a non-surgical treatment in which medicine is injected into muscles and used to improve temporarily the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, reducing the muscle activity that causes lines to form. It is also used effectively on crow’s feet (lines found at the corner of the eyes) and brow lines on the forehead.
IPL / Photofacials
IPL – or intense pulsed light – is a laser that penetrates deep into the dermis to treat acne, veins, excessive pigmentation and discolorations. The solux laser technician prepares the targeted area, then places applies a hand piece to the skin and releases the laser beam. Several days after treatment, the pigmented area will rise to the surface and flake off. At solux med spa in Chicago, we often facilitate this exfoliation process with microdermabrasion or signature peels between treatments, which also provide improved skin tone and texture. The procedure is fairly painless; as the beam is emitted the patient will feel a mild sting, similar to a rubber band snap. After treatment, the solux technician may apply cold compresses to reduce any redness, and the patient may immediately resume normal activities.
Facials and Peels
Signature Facials and Peels
Solux med spa in Chicago specializes in a variety of facials and peels that rejuvenate, restore, and repair past damage to the skin.
Green Peel – Proven, 100% Natural Exfoliation
Solux med spa has introduced green peel - astonishing results with no chemicals or synthetic peeling agents. A complex herbal mixture is applied and massaged continuously into the skin. Micro particles polish and remove the outer epidermis, while natural, active ingredients penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the cutis, releasing vitamins and enzymes.
Chemical Peels
One of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of skin is by a chemical peel, also called chemexfoliation or derma peeling. It can be used on the face, chest or any area of skin damage. The solux skin technician applies a chemical solution and carefully monitors the skin's reaction. The appropriate strength and chemical composition of the peel is determined by the solux skin technician, and is dependent on the patient’s needs and goals. Peels are often classified as follows: progressive: removes only the outer layer of skin via mild sloughing with repeated treatments, not by immediate exfoliation. Mid-depth: affects the intra-epidermal layer; light exfoliation occurs within two to three days after application. Deep: affects the deepest intra-epidermal layers, resulting in considerable peeling of large segments over a period of seven to ten days.
Laser Hair Dremoval
Laser Hair Removal at Solux Med Spa
Laser hair removal, a specialty at solux med spa in Chicago, is the process of employing a laser beam to damage the hair follicle and permanently end hair growth. Hair grows in 3 cycles: active, dormant and shedding. Laser hair removal is effective during the active stage, making multiple, evenly spaced treatments necessary to achieve desired results. the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, converting it to heat. This heat damages the follicle and inhibits hair growth. With each treatment, significantly less hair grows back until permanent hair reduction is achieved. Treatments may not be performed during pregnancy.
Scar Revision
Scars are the result of damage to the skin, from scrapes and incisions to chicken pox and acne. The more severe the injury, the slower the healing time and the more likely a noticeable scar will remain. Fortunately today there are several effective options for minimizing the appearance of scars. The skin technicians at solux med spa in chicago have extensive experience in treating and minimizing scars with the latest technology and treatments. Following an initial consultation and exam, the solux technician will develop a treatment plan that addresses the patient’s particular needs. Optimal treatment depends on several factors, including the scar type, whether hypertrophic, in which excess collagen causes the scar to be raised, or atrophic, in which the scar forms a sunken recess in the skin. Solux med spa uses palomar medical’s fractional laser technology as the foundation for their acne and surgical scar removal procedures. High-energy light beams allow for the removal or reshaping of areas that are affected by scar tissue. Raised and reddened scars may be most effectively treated by ipl treatments. While many acne scars react effectively to laser skin resurfacing. In addition, solux often combines laser treatments with chemical peels and microdermabrasion to achieve the finest results. With today’s available treatments and technology, there is no reason to live with scars, or suffer the pain and risk of surgical removal. Schedule a free consultation with solux med spa to learn more.
Stretch Mark Reduction
Stretch marks are striations on the skin that occur when the tissue located just underneath the outer layer of skin expands at a faster rate than the skin. This rapid expansion has a number of potential causes, including puberty, pregnancy, hormonal changes, weight gain or loss. Millions of women and men suffer from the resulting unsightly marks. Studies also suggest that some people are genetically predisposed to stretch marks. Until recently there were no truly effective treatments for stretch marks. Solux med spa in Chicago is now delivering fda approved laser treatments that dramatically diminish the appearance of stretch marks and improve overall skin texture and tone.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion, also called micro-resurfacing or mechanical exfoliation, is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that employs a mechanical medium to exfoliate skin, accompanied by an adjustable suction to remove dead skin cells from the epidermis. The removal of the outermost layer of cells reveals younger, healthier-looking skin immediately after the procedure. It also encourages the production of a new layer of skin cells containing higher levels of collagen and elastin, both of which further improve the skin’s appearance. Microdermabrasion is used to decrease the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and shallow acne scars. Removing the dead skin also aids in the deeper penetration of skin care products, improving their effectiveness. First developed in Italy, microdermabrasion technology has been in use for over 25 years. It is safe, non-invasive, and delivers immediate, effective results with no downtime. Patients often schedule appointments during a break from work. At solux med spa in Chicago, microdermabrasion is often used in conjunction with other skin procedures and treatments, such as ipl and chemical peels, to obtain optimal results for each patient.
Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing
Solux med spa’s fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing is one of the most powerful and effective treatments available today to reduce signs of aging and develop new, healthy tissue and rejuvenated skin. This unique treatment method delivers excellent results and virtually no downtime. Solux med spa works exclusively with palomar medical's lux 1540. the lux 1540 emits microbeams that penetrate beyond the stratum corneum and deeper into the epidermis and dermis than competing devices, producing effective, long-term results. An array of microbeams eliminates the outermost layer of the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, causing new, healthy tissue to grow. The result is a smoother, more even tone and more youthful complexion. The deep penetration of laser skin resurfacing provides superior results to chemical peels or microdermabrasion, while the fractional, non-ablative approach stimulates quick healing, with no lasting redness. Patients may experience temporary redness and swelling, however may immediately resume normal activities. Results often begin to appear within several days and improvements continue for six months and beyond.
Vein Therapy
Unwanted veins are enlarged, dilated or broken veins that are visible through the skin. They can occur anywhere on the body, and are caused by various factors, including age, sun damage, pregnancy, and genetics. At solux med spa in Chicago, different medical techniques are used to erase or remove unwanted veins, depending on the specific needs of the patient. schedule a consultation to determine the best treatment for you.
EVLT - endovenous laser treatment
EVLT, or endovenous laser treatment, is currently one of the best available techniques for eliminating varicose veins. Often considered the “gold standard” in vein therapy, a session usually takes less than thirty minutes and is minimally invasive. Laser energy is directed to the problem veins, which respond by shrinking and sealing off. The body redirects blood flow from the damaged veins to healthier ones, and the sealed veins are absorbed. EVLT has high success rate and most patients are able to resume typical activities within days.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure in which a solution is injected into the vein, causing it to seal off. Once the vein is closed, blood is naturally rerouted to other healthy veins. In time, the closed vein is absorbed by the body. A typical treatment session consists of multiple microinjections. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. For larger varicose veins, ultrasound guidance may be used to ensure precision.
Visia Skin Analysis
The visia skin analysis system provides an in-depth analysis of each patient’s facial characteristics, both topically and subsurface. Multi-spectral imaging provides a clear, multi-dimensional portrait of the individual aspects of the patient’s complexion that contribute to overall appearance. This analysis allows the solux skin technician to identify all aspects of a patient’s complexion health and determine the optimal treatment program. Solux med spa in chicago uses visia skin analysis as the foundation for their patients’ care. It provides measurements and key visual documentation for six areas affecting complexion health and appearance: wrinkles, spots, pores, evenness (color variation in tone) , and uv spots (overexposure to sun) . In addition, the system provides an informative comparison of each patient’s complexion characteristics to those of similar age and ethnicity. By documenting where skin health is today, patients are given a valuable tool in determining how to repair existing damage and proactively prevent future damage. Regular use of the visia skin analysis to monitor skin condition provides patients with a standardized means of measuring the effectiveness of their skin care treatments and determining further options. Solux med spa believes in empowering patients to help determine their own skin health care needs. Visia skin analysis is provided free of charge to all solux patients.
