Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Consultations with one of our surgeons or our cosmetic nurse practitioner are available upon request. We offer many in-house medical grade cosmetic services in a relaxing, spa-like setting. 

Our Cosmetic office is located at Carle Outpatient Services at The Fields in Champaign. Please call our office at (217) 902-7527 for pricing and additional information. Our services include:

Botox®
Injections of Botox® can improve facial expression lines and wrinkles. It also prevents lines and wrinkles on the face from appearing deeper, and can prevent new wrinkles from forming. Our medical providers have received extensive training in Botox® injections.

Dermal Fillers
We offer a wide variety of injectable facial fillers to restore volume and structure to the face which combats the signs of facial aging. Dermal fillers are used at different depths to help fill facial wrinkles, volume loss, and augment facial features including the lips.

Kybella®
These are fat reduction injections used under the chin area to decrease the appearance of submental fat and give a more aesthetically pleasing contour to the neck and jawline.

Acne Slush (‘Frozen Facial’)
This medical cryotherapy treatment tightens pores and removes dead cells from your skin's surface. It is applied to the face in a light, gliding movements across the face. The slush releases a frosty mist that relieves skin redness, inflammation, and helps to minimize active breakouts.

Moisturizing Facial
This facial reduces the appearance of pores and hydrates the face while peeling away dull skin. This treatment locks in moisture to create a fresh, revived look and feel.

Chemical Peels
Our medical grade chemical peels are safe, soothing, and effective processes that remove a micro-thin layer of skin to reveal a fresh, dewy, and overall brighter complexion. A skin evaluation with our Aesthetician determines your skin type prior to performing the procedure. Skin immediately looks and feels clearer, smoother and healthier with full results apparent 7-10 days afterwards.

Dermaplaning
An alternative to waxing or laser hair removal, this process removes fine facial hair as well as the outer layer of dead skin cells.  Results are immediately apparent and skin feels smoother and healthier.

Eyelash Lift
This chemically enhanced process involves ‘perming’ your eyelashes. This makes them appear significantly longer, fuller, and lifted. An eyelash lift lasts approximately 6-8 weeks and is especially recommended before special occasions.

Tinting
This is a procedure that colors brows and lashes to a darker shade to create a sense of thickness and dimension, perfect for those with pale skin and light hair. Tinting lasts 4-6 weeks and must be redone as hair grows.

Facial Hair Waxing
Facial waxing removes unwanted eyebrow or upper lip hair for a quick, smooth result. This process is longer lasting than some other methods of hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal
This treatment removes unwanted hair. The hair laser targets the dark root of the hair follicle, inhibiting re-growth.
