If you have a rash or inflammation, patch testing is a great way to identify what allergen or substance is causing the issue. The process is simple and painless, with no needle or injection required. A common cause of rash and irritation is allergic contact dermatitis. This can be caused by a variety of substances and result in scaly, itchy rash, hives or blisters. A patch test can be helpful for identifying the cause, so we can treat effectively and you can avoid exposure to the substance in the future.

Your first visit begins with a consultation with your board-certified dermatologist. Prior to care, we will get your health history and perform a clinical evaluation of the skin to determine which treatment options are the best fit. We will customize both a treatment plan and a skin care regimen if desired. Important pre- and post-treatment instructions will also be provided to accompany most treatments.
We accept a variety of major insurances for your skin care. We have example of insurances we accept on our website. If you don’t see your insurance listed, please contact us and we will verify if we accept. Any cosmetic procedures or products purchased in our office are out-of-pocket expenses that will not be covered by insurance; our staff will ensure that you are fully informed of all of these expenses prior to obtaining your consent for the procedure. To avoid the unpleasant surprise of an unexpected medical bill, please ask to speak to a member of our billing department before your visit if you have any questions or concerns about insurance coverage of your scheduled procedure.
All three are medical charges you must pay out of your own pocket, even if you have insurance. Deductibles are a specific amount you must accumulate and pay each year of covered health services before benefits are provided by your carrier. Plans may also have separate individual and family deductibles and/or deductibles for separate services. Copayments are a set fee the member pays to providers at the time services are provided. Copays are applied to office visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, etc. Coinsurance is a form of cost sharing. After your deductible has been met, plan will begin paying a percentage of your bills. The remaining amount, known as co-insurance, is the portion due by the patient.

The Vbeam Perfecta® laser is a type of pulse dye laser (PDL) used to treat blood vessels within the skin. The Vbeam Perfecta® stands out among other PDLs due to its advanced technology, ease of use and low incidence of side effects. This laser can treat a wide array of vascular, pigmented and non-pigmented legions on the skin. Conditions treated by the Vbeam Perfecta® include spider veins, port wine stains, acne scars, rosacea, and even wrinkles.
Medical facials are for anyone! At D+A Streeterville, our medical facials are customized to match your specific skin concerns and skin type. Most patients find our medical facials to be great for pampering, while others rely on them to correct skin issues. Whatever your reason, you can trust your needs to be met with D+A Streeterville’s medical facials.
But don’t just take our word, here is a testimonial from a patient:
“I admit I was not a firm believer of the effects a medical grade facial yielded until I experienced one for myself. I committed to one medical facial monthly for 3 consecutive months and I had never been so thrilled with how my skin appeared (and I have worked in a dermatology office or plastic surgeon office for the past 10 years). My skin was brighter, my texture was smooth, and my skin care products seemed to absorb more evenly which helped me to maintain my glow. I no longer perceive facials as just a pampering luxury. They are a crucial component to my skin regimen.” + NT, age 31

The exact number of laser resurfacing treatments varies by your specific situation. Patients being treated for acne scarring will most likely need more treatments to see desired results. Whereas patients receiving laser resurfacing for fine lines and wrinkles may need fewer treatments. Always consult your doctor to find out what works best for your situation.
