Sublative RF Microneedling in La Grange, IL

Refine texture, soften acne scars, and tighten skin with nurse-led fractional RF.

You want skin that looks smooth and feels confident. If you’re dealing with acne scars you can’t cover, large pores, uneven texture, or sagging around the jawline, our APRN-led team offers sublative, eMatrix-style radiofrequency microneedling for targeted skin resurfacing and collagen remodeling. Results vary.

Why skin texture gets in the way

Rough patches and pitted scars make makeup settle into fine lines. Pores look larger in bright light. Photos highlight dullness even when you’re well-rested. Day to day, that’s frustrating, and avoidable with a plan tailored to your skin and routine.

Your clinical solution, guided by licensed APRNs

At Express Med Spa La Grange, IL, treatments are performed by licensed nurse practitioners and trained clinicians in a clean medical setting. We use a sublative, fractional RF device to deliver gentle heat through micro-channels. This stimulates new collagen and elastin while protecting the surface. Expect clear explanations, individualized energy settings, and honest timelines, no hype. Results build gradually; results vary.

Benefits you can feel good about

(Each treatment plan is personalized; results vary.)

Refined texture & smaller-looking pores
Fractional RF heats the dermis to remodel collagen so skin appears smoother and pores look tighter over time.

Softer acne scars
Energy targets scar tissue while sparing surrounding skin, helping pitted scars appear shallower with a series of sessions.

Subtle skin tightening
Controlled dermal heating supports firmer, more lifted-looking contours along the lower face and jawline.

Makeup sits better
Smoother canvas means foundation grips less and glow looks more natural—“smooth, glowy skin,” not cakey.

How Sublative RF Microneedling works (and what to expect)

1) Consult (APRN-led)
We assess your skin, history, and goals. We’ll discuss candidacy, alternatives, and a realistic plan. Many clients need 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart; some need more for deeper scars.

2) Customize
We map treatment zones and set energy levels to your skin type. Strong topical numbing is applied. Most people feel mild pressure or a slight prickling; a warmth in the skin is expected, it’s a sign collagen stimulation is underway.

3) Treat
Sessions usually take 30-60 minutes once numbed. You may leave pink and a bit puffy, like a light sunburn.

4) Recover
Day 1-2: Mild swelling, redness, tightness.
Days 3-7: Light flaking as skin renews.
By ~4 weeks: early smoothing is often noticed; collagen remodeling continues for months after your series. Results vary.
