One day, your once fool proof 5 step skincare routine suddenly isn’t giving what it used to. You double wash, tone, serum, moisturize, slug and even buy one of those LED wand or masks just to get that radiance back.
I was there and if we’re being honest my confidence took a hit until a friend suggested I book a consult with Vitahl Medical Aesthetics Chicago, a physician owned and operated medical aesthetics practice with an emphasis on physician regulated non-surgical aesthetic treatments. Vitahl offers a plethora of services ranging from injectables and lasers to skincare and body services. My skin needed a little juhj, my texture was off and because I picked so much at my face (I know I know) it left a lot of acne scars.
“VITAHL Chicago is committed to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals. Our practice offers a comprehensive suite of options to address all your aesthetic medical needs, and we focus on treatments which provide our patients with safe, effective and non-invasive alternatives for facial and body rejuvenation.”
At the consult, I met with Fred who worked me through their services provided that may be best for my skin issues and PICO GENESIS laser was the right course. PICO Genesis is a non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment that can be used to address the majority of common skin imperfections, including spots caused by sun damage and acne scarring. Pico laser treatment is ideal for anyone looking to revive their skin and achieve a youthful glow or remedy blemishes, redness or scarring. It effectively improves many common skin conditions stimulating the production of collagen leaving you with restored skin texture, tone and youthfulness with minimized blemishes, scars and redness. The PICO laser treatment delivers noticeable, results, enhances elastin production in the skin resulting in a softer, fuller, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime. “Picosecond lasers have a very short pulse duration and a high peak power density. When fractional optical delivery systems are attached to picosecond lasers, they generate an array of concentrated microspots with a high fluence surrounded by areas with a low fluence.”

VITAHL’s onsite physicians work with nurses, aestheticians, and laser specialists to ensure your medical spa experience is nothing short of flawless. While the service I was *gifted* was the PICO, like I said earlier VITAHL has a lot more services to help look and feel your best. Injectables services include: Botox, Juvederm, Voluma, Volure and Restylane Kysse. Aviclear, the only FDA cleared laser that treats mild to severe acne by targeting the source is now being offered for those that suffer from ongoing acne. Laser hair removal and laser vein treatments are also offered at the West Loop location. If you’re not too fond of lasers or needles, several other topical services are on offer to still help you perfect your radiance including: chemical peels, facials, microneedling, PRP, dermaplaning- using medical-grade blade to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the skin.
The team at Vitahl are very knowledgeable with over 30 years of combined aesthetic experience and over 50 years of combined medical experience. According to a 2021 study from McKinsey, “the industry was poised to grow by as much as 14 percent annually through 2026;” As consumers look to give their outer beauty a boost and maybe not ready for the commitment of going under the knife they’re turning to medical grade aesthetics. An updated Mckinsey study noted that, “neuromodulators (such as injectable Botox) have outperformed dermal fillers (such as hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulators).”
Leaving your appointment at Vitahl, located at 1135 W. Madison Street, you’ll feel renewed and rejuvenated. I began to see visible results about a week after my first PICO service. To really get the results I want, I will have to follow up with a few more sessions; this session which feels like just teeny rubber band snapping, alone has allowed me to confidently wear minimal makeup and I definitely do smile more when I look myself in the mirror. Vitahl Chicago is open from 10am-6pm on Mondays; 11am-7pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; Friday 9am-5pm; Saturday 9am-3pm and closed on Sundays. To make an appointment call 312-818-2382.
