Laser Skin Treatments

Ageless Aesthetics Medspa Chicago operates an extensive laser platform including a Phoenix CO2 ablative laser for deep wrinkle resurfacing, fractional non-ablative resurfacing, picolaser for pigmentation and tattoo removal, IPL photofacial for sun damage and rosacea, and combination protocols including Three For Me and Bright & Tight. Plasma Pen is also available for periorbital and perioral tightening. The clinic's laser programme covers pigmentation correction, vascular lesion clearance, full-face rejuvenation, permanent hair reduction, and tattoo removal across most skin types.

Ageless Aesthetics Medspa Chicago maintains one of the more comprehensive laser and light-based treatment menus available at a Chicago medical spa, spanning ablative, non-ablative, fractional, and ultra-short pulse technologies to address the full range of skin correction and rejuvenation goals. The Phoenix CO2 fractional ablative laser delivers 10,600 nm wavelength energy in a fractional pattern — vaporising discrete columns of tissue (ablative zones) while leaving the surrounding skin intact as a healing reservoir. This dual mechanism produces significant improvement in deep rhytids, photodamage, actinic changes, and textural irregularities, with results comparable to traditional full-field CO2 but with a faster recovery profile. Non-ablative fractional resurfacing delivers sub-ablative thermal energy into the mid-dermis without removing the epidermis, stimulating collagen remodelling and improving skin firmness, pore size, and fine surface lines with minimal social downtime. The picolaser platform uses ultra-short pulse durations measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) to shatter pigment particles and tattoo ink into dust-fine fragments via a photoacoustic rather than purely photothermal mechanism. This enables highly effective clearance of benign pigmented lesions including lentigines, melasma, and café-au-lait macules, as well as professional and amateur tattoo removal across a wider ink colour range than nanosecond-pulsed lasers can achieve. The IPL (intense pulsed light) photofacial at the clinic uses a broadband light source filtered to target oxyhaemoglobin (vascular lesions, rosacea erythema, telangiectasia) and melanin (solar lentigines, freckles, irregular pigmentation) in a single non-coherent light pass, making it well-suited to patients with combination sun damage. Three For Me and Bright & Tight are combination protocols that address wrinkles, sun damage, and facial vascularity in a single session using sequential device passes. Plasma Pen uses ionised plasma discharge to create controlled micro-injuries at precise epidermal points, tightening periorbital and perioral skin without excision. Laser hair removal at Ageless Aesthetics Medspa Chicago uses a wavelength matched to follicular melanin to thermally destroy the hair bulge and papilla during the anagen phase, achieving progressive and lasting hair reduction across all body areas. All laser treatments are planned with reference to the patient's Fitzpatrick skin type, treatment history, and target concern, with appropriate pre-treatment skin conditioning protocols recommended for darker skin tones.
