Skin Care Products in Chicago
In addition to administering non-surgical skin care treatments to greatly enhance your complexion and minimize signs of sun-damage and aging, Paulette, our licensed skin aesthetician, can advise on a wide variety of medical-grade take-home skin care products to help Chicago patients maintain their results, or as an alternative to in-office treatment.
We principally utilize the Vi-Derm®, NeoStrata® and NIA 24® (niacin-powered) skin care lines. Several of these products utilize Vitamin C-based products, hydroquinone bleaching lotions, Retin-A (tretinoin) as well as cleansers and sun-blocking moisturizers. We also now offer a more affordable line of skin care products by Revision® Skincare, which features agents such as Teamine® Eye Complex for dark circles under the eyes (or post-operative bruising), as well as Nectifirm®, a cream to tighten the skin of the neck and décolleté (upper chest area).
Paul M. Steinwald, M.D. is one of the few plastic surgeons in Chicago who is double-board certified in both plastic and general surgery. Read On
