CCSD Mask Reminder

At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, the health & safety of our patients, providers and staff have always been our top priority. We continue to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance for healthcare settings and continue to implement procedures to adhere to these guidelines. As you may know, the CDC recently released new masking recommendations that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance. However, as explicitly stated by the CDC, these new recommendations do NOT include healthcare settings, like CCSD. While we can't wait to see your smiling faces when visiting our practice, because we are a healthcare setting, CCSD will continue to require: ALL patients, providers and staff must continue to wear face masks, regardless of their vaccination status. We will continue to follow the full infection control procedures required by the CDC for healthcare settings. This includes masks, social distancing, enhanced infection prevention, monitoring and screening staff & patients (health survey and temp checks), and sanitizing clinic rooms and common areas.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in us as your dermatologic healthcare provider. Sincerely, Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology

COMING SOON! ‘CellFX’ Nano Pulse Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology treatment

The new CellFX procedure is approved to clear common skin conditions, such as spots, bumps or growths - that are known as benign lesions. Most common lesions are made up of abnormal cells. What the CellFX procedure does is clear the cells of a lesion, which is the root of where the problem resides. It’s unique in that it “clears the bad” and “preserves the good”, meaning the cells that cause the problem are cleared and the healthy skin tissue, which is primarily made up of collagen, remains unharmed. This helps to prevent unnecessary damage to your skin and helps to minimize the risk of scarring. The CellFX procedure uses an innovative technology that  uniquely works deep at the cellular level where the skin  problem resides. The technology uses ultrafast electrical  energy pulses to alter the cells that cause lesions. The science behind the CellFX procedure is called Nano Pulse Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology. NPS technology is  based on a non-thermal energy, which means it does not generate heat or cold. If this treatment sounds like something you need, please contact our Research Department at [email protected] and they can set you up with an appointment!

Dr. Ibrahim is AMAZING. He has such a wonderful “bed side manner” and his experience is multifaceted. I go to him for both regular skin concerns and cosmetic reasons and he has been able to help with every issue I have! He is by far the best dermatologist I have been to and I recommend him 100%!
