What to Expect From a Clinical Laser Treatment at Re-Medispa
Laser skin resurfacing in Arlington Heights is one of the most effective treatments we offer at Re-Medispa. We use a fractional CO2 laser to precisely target damaged skin. Your body responds by removing old tissue and building new collagen in its place.
This page covers what laser resurfacing treats, who it works for, and what to expect before and after your session. If you are ready to book a consultation, we make that easy too.
We are a licensed medical spa with trained providers — every laser treatment here is performed in a clinical setting with medical oversight.
When Surface Treatments Are No Longer Enough
Laser Resurfacing Targets Damage That Topical Products Cannot Reach
Many people in Arlington Heights have tried creams, peels, and other treatments without getting the results they wanted. Laser resurfacing works at a deeper level than most skin treatments.
Conditions we treat with fractional CO2 laser resurfacing:
- Deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Skin laxity on the face and neck
Years of Midwest sun exposure and harsh Illinois winters leave visible marks on your skin. Laser resurfacing addresses that accumulated damage directly — not just at the surface.
If topical products have stopped working for you, this is worth a conversation.
Why Your Consultation Shapes the Entire Treatment Plan
Not Every Skin Type Is a Candidate for Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a more intensive treatment than most options we offer. That makes the consultation more important, not less.
We review your skin tone, medical history, and active skincare products before recommending treatment. Some skin types and conditions require a modified approach. Our providers in Arlington Heights and Harwood Heights are trained to assess this carefully before any laser is used.
If you are not the right candidate for fractional CO2 resurfacing, we will tell you — and we will recommend what is appropriate for your skin instead.
Steps That Protect Your Skin and Support Your Results
How to Prepare Your Skin Before a Laser Resurfacing Appointment
Preparation for laser resurfacing starts earlier than most people expect. Your provider will give you a full pre-care protocol at your consultation. General steps often include:
- Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids well in advance — your provider will advise the exact timeframe
- Avoid sun exposure in the weeks before your appointment
- Do not treat over active breakouts or irritated skin
- Disclose all medications and supplements — some affect how your skin responds to laser energy
- Arrive with clean, product-free skin on the day of your session
Â
Arlington Heights summers bring consistent UV exposure. Arriving with a sunburn or recent tan can affect both your safety and your outcome. We may reschedule if your skin is not ready on the day of treatment.

FAQs
Is laser skin resurfacing safe for all skin tones in Arlington Heights?
Laser resurfacing requires careful assessment of your skin tone before treatment. Certain laser settings carry a higher risk for darker skin tones. We review this during your consultation and only proceed when we are confident the approach is appropriate for you.
How many laser resurfacing sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and how your skin responds to treatment. Your provider will give you a realistic expectation after your consultation — not before.
What should I look for in a medical spa offering laser resurfacing near me?
Look for trained providers, clinical-grade equipment, and a required consultation before any laser treatment. At Re-Medispa, every session is performed under medical oversight in a proper clinical setting.
