Restore a Brighter, Smoother, and More Youthful-Looking Complexion in Naperville, IL
It’s normal for unwanted changes—including dryness, wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation irregularities—to develop in our skin as we age. This is because skin cell renewal slows over time, fat is lost, and smaller amounts of collagen and elastin are produced to maintain elasticity. Adding to that, damage from sun exposure and other environmental factors can make the skin look even more aged. Want to rejuvenate without the need for more invasive procedures or treatments? HydraFacial from the Naperville-based John Bull Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Medispa is an advanced, in-office skin treatment that has multiple benefits, including cleansing, exfoliating, and infusing the skin with nourishing serums. We strive to deliver the best HydraFacial Naperville has to offer.
What is HydraFacial?
The word “HydraFacial” is derived from the term “hydrate,” which involves adding water to something. As opposed to some other types of skin resurfacing options, HydraFacial intensely moisturizes the skin as part of the treatment process. This is a gentle procedure that involves using a handpiece to clean out pores while at the same time adding in powerful, active ingredients that are designed to hydrate, protect, volumize, and brighten skin. In this three-step procedure, each targeted ingredient infused into the skin tackles specific concerns.
The foundational HydraFacial, this treatment makes use of “super serums” packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The deep exfoliation clears away dead skin and debris that would impede the serums from saturating properly. This treatment is ideal for maximizing the face’s natural glow, as well as improving the overall appearance of the skin.
A more “aggressive” option, this treatment specifically targets uneven tone and texture, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Skin boosters are chosen to tailor the results to the patient, and adding LED light therapy encourages natural cellular growth and repair processes.
The “ultimate” HydraFacial option, this high-end treatment starts with a detoxifying lymphatic massage to reduce puffiness, encourage oxygen flow, and enhance the facial muscles. This is followed by exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of customized boosters, as we as LED light therapy. The result is radiant, rejuvenated, and well-nourished skin.
Who is a Good Candidate for HydraFacial?
HydraFacial can be beneficial for patients in all age demographics with most skin types, any skin tone, and a variety of concerns. It improves everything from pimples and other forms of acne to wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, pre-cancerous spots, oily skin, blocked pores, uneven skin texture, and other types of sun damage.
Patients with some specific skin conditions—such as rosacea, sunburn, and active rashes—may benefit more from a different option. For pregnant and breastfeeding women, our providers modify HydraFacial treatments by omitting certain steps and/or selecting specific serums, exfoliants, and other products that are considered safer or more appropriate for people in this stage of life.

Is there a way to correct skin concerns, including wrinkles, rough texture, sun damage, scarring, and even fat pockets, all with one treatment? Yes!
Morpheus8 can be used virtually anywhere on the body and makes it possible to treat all of these issues with one simple, in-office, non-surgical, non-invasive method.
At The John Bull Center, our commitment goes beyond just achieving excellent aesthetic outcomes. We are devoted to delivering a comprehensive patient experience where every individual who visits our practice feels heard and cared for throughout their journey, starting from the initial consultation and all the way through follow-up appointments. We strive to deliver the best Morpheus8 Naperville has to offer and provide the most innovative and cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatments.
Morpheus8 is a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that stimulates collagen production within the deeper layers of the dermis.
This combination of microneedling and fractional laser technology specifically targets underlying or subdermal skin layers, triggering a natural anti-aging process where the skin can repair and restore itself. Microneedling works by creating micro-tears in the skin, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. This results in skin that is not only healthier but also firmer and more youthful in appearance.
Not just a superficial treatment, Morpheus8 can provide deep skin rejuvenation and skin tightening throughout the body. Our Western Chicago and Naperville Morpheus8 patients see improvements in:
Morpheus8 is great for all skin types and tones, and nearly anyone looking for overall skin improvement is a great candidate. This treatment can address skin concerns in a variety of areas, including:
During a consultation, we will discuss the procedure to find out if you are eligible for Morpheus8 and create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Our goal is personalization, and we want to ensure that your treatment achieves your unique goals. Preparation includes discontinuing use of retinol products and exfoliants for about 48 hours prior to treatment.
At your appointment, we will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream in most cases. Next, your Naperville Morpheus8 provider will apply the handpiece to your skin, in one or multiple areas in a single session. We may apply hyaluronic acid or other topicals post-treatment to calm your skin, prevent inflammation, and provide extra hydration. Most treatment sessions last around 30 to 60 minutes.
After treatment, you may experience some temporary swelling or redness, and some patients may see mild bruising. The micro-tears might result in some flaky skin that will shed off, which is completely normal. Downtime is not required, but it is vital that you avoid sun exposure for several days during the healing process. Gradually, you will see skin improvement as collagen is built up and repairs the skin. Final outcomes are typically visible around four to six months.
We are excited to help you achieve all of your aesthetic goals. Call us today at (630) 381-8286 or schedule your consultation online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Improving Skin Tone, Texture, and More with Collagen Induction Therapy for Western Chicago and Naperville
Microneedling is one of the most effective, nonsurgical skin-renewing treatments available for women and men interested in reducing the appearance of acne scarring, improving skin tone and texture, and achieving a healthy, youthful glow. For anyone seeking an answer to the problem of age-related collagen loss and environmental damage, microneedling at the Chicago area’s John Bull Center may be the ideal choice. We strive to deliver the best microneedling Naperville has to offer.
Also known as collagen induction therapy for its ability to trigger production of the important protein in the skin, microneedling is a treatment employed to address signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scarring, and remove stretch marks. This procedure involves the use of a device covered in tiny needles, which are gently rolled over the surface of the skin, creating tiny holes that stimulate the production of collagen.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to make “micro injuries” in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s healing capabilities. This is a natural response, because your body is under the impression that the skin is damaged by the needles, which is why it starts to produce collagen—a substance used in repairing wounds and that gives your skin strength and elasticity—and helps to replace dead skin cells through a process known as skin cell turnover.
What Is a Microneedling Treatment Like?
The best option for patients considering microneedling is to visit a provider who is well versed in the technology and experienced in using it to treat a range of patients. The John Bull Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Medispa team in Naperville, IL, will ensure the treatment is performed safely and instruct you on how to take care of your skin in the days following your session.
The procedure starts with a cleansing face wash, after which an anesthetic is applied to reduce sensation. Then, a serum is spread over the surface of the skin to allow the microneedling device to glide smoothly without causing discomfort. During the procedure itself, the needles create tiny channels, allowing the serum to penetrate below the surface and treat the skin as well. For about an hour, our Naperville microneedling patients will feel like their skin is being subjected to a light massage as the microneedles pass over it, making tiny punctures to trigger the production of collagen.

Skin-Smoothing Non-Invasive Exfoliation for Western Chicago and Naperville
At the John Bull Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Medispa, we understand the importance of feeling good about the way you look. We also understand that not everyone wants surgery or injections, which is why we offer one of the most effective non-invasive skin treatments available: chemical peels. Western Chicago-area women and men come to our Naperville office to enjoy popular peels applied in a comfortable and relaxing environment. We strive to deliver the best chemical peels Naperville has to offer.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
A chemical peel treatment involves applying a mild chemical solution to specific areas of the face, neck, or hands to exfoliate the skin and provide a rejuvenated look. As the solution dries and is peeled off, it gently removes with it the aged and sun-damaged outermost layer of skin, revealing the smoother-textured skin underneath. The exfoliation also prompts skin cells to begin making new collagen, which leads to ongoing stronger, smoother, healthier-looking skin. The strength of the chemicals used in the peel depend on multiple factors, including the patient’s desired results. A mixture of light solutions can be used for a simple exfoliation, whereas stronger chemicals can be used for deeper immersion into the skin. All chemicals, however, are safe and gentle and cause minimal discomfort.
What Can a Chemical Peel Treat?
Chemical peels have been shown to help improve several minor skin concerns caused by ultraviolet radiation exposure and natural aging, including age spots or dark spots, irregular areas of skin pigmentation, rough skin and scaly patches, freckles, the appearance of scars, acne and acne scars, minor wrinkles and fine lines, and more.
Some skin problems—such as loose or sagging skin, deep lines or wrinkles, broken capillaries, deep scars, and visible overly large pores—are best addressed with something other than chemical peels.

Enjoy the Slimming Power of Non-Surgical Fat Reduction and Body Contouring for Western Chicago and Naperville
If you have stubborn pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise, you may very well be an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting at Naperville’s John Bull Center. We strive to deliver the best CoolSculpting Naperville has to offer. Western Chicago-area women and men who have cut back on calories and upped their daily sit-ups and jumping jacks—only to get frustrated as bulges remain in specific areas—have found satisfaction in the results possible with non-surgical “fat freezing.” CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved treatment that uses advanced technology to chill fat cells clustered just beneath the skin. The process is known as “cryolipolysis,” which includes the fat cells dying and then gradually being flushed from the body. It’s one of the few non-surgical treatments that can lead to significant de-bulking and inch loss, allowing patients to fit more comfortably in their favorite outfits.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
When a person gains weight, the increased bulk does not come from a growing number of fat cells. Instead, the existing fat cells simply get larger. The reverse happens during weight loss, which means the fat cells are getting smaller—not going away—when you diet. Because fat cells stay at a generally fixed number in adults, it can be very difficult for people to achieve their desired contours.
In addition, targeted fat-reduction efforts are not reliable, since how and where a person’s fat cells are prone to shrinking is significantly influenced by genetics. In other words, you can eat salads and jog miles each day, but you may be stuck with love handles or a double chin despite it all. CoolSculpting helps patients achieve real visible change by actually reducing the number of fat cells—not merely their size—in a treatment area. The slimming results are possible because fat cells freeze at a specific temperature that does not have the same effect on the surrounding tissue. The CoolSculpting device quickly cools the targeted area down to that necessary temperature, causing fat cells to crystalize. Skin and muscle remains unharmed. In the days after a CoolSculpting session, the crystalized fat cells die, and the body naturally begins clearing them away.
What Is a CoolSculpting Session Like in Naperville?
The John Bull Center team will first assess patients with excess fat during a private consultation to determine whether CoolSculpting will be an appropriate and effective treatment. Our Naperville CoolSculpting sessions take at least an hour to complete. “Pinchable” pockets of fat are vacuum-pulled between two cooling plates, while particularly large or small areas are cooled with an applicator that fits directly against the surface of the skin.
DualSculpting® is also an option for shortening certain treatment sessions by using two CoolSculpting machines simultaneously. This strategy is especially effective for love handles, the bra line, and the thighs. By doubling up on the devices used, treatment can be completed in half the time.
Our Naperville CoolSculpting patients will feel some pressure and a significant chill during the treatment itself. Both are normal and well tolerated. Because the CoolSculpting treatment process can take a while, patients are encouraged to bring something to occupy them while they wait. Books, music to listen to privately, or devices for watching movies are encouraged. There is no downtime required, so patients can return to their typical daily activities as soon as they would like.
What CoolSculpting Results Can Be Expected?
The body will flush out dead fat cells over a period of three months following the treatment, but visible results can be seen as early as four to six weeks after a CoolSculpting session. A single CoolSculpting treatment can result in up to 20 to 25 percent fat cell loss in the targeted area. Most patients require two sessions before seeing their desired contours.
