Regarding Chicago laser places, here are posts from my hairtell forum.
I’d talk to Dr. Melton and see what you think.
Here’s a couple of names for further laser research in Chicago (no endorsement implied):
Jeffrey Melton, M.D., S.C., (630) 928-0240
Chicago Skin Clinic
Danilo V. Del Campo, M.D.
1-773-286-8111
Jerome Garden, MD at Northwestern is another person to look into. I’ve met Dr. Garden, who seemed nice, though he likes some unproven devices sometimes.
