Aesthetic Skin Winnetka Introduces Pico Laser to Safely and Effectively Treat Skin Concerns Common in Pakistani Patients

May 08 11:39 2025

Winnetka, IL – Aesthetic Skin is proud to bring Pico laser technology to its North Shore location in Winnetka, offering a major advancement in skincare for patients with melanin-rich skin, including those of Pakistani descent. The addition of this cutting-edge device represents a much-needed shift toward more inclusive and effective skin treatments for individuals often underserved by older laser technology.

Pakistani skin types frequently experience issues like hyperpigmentation, acne scars, sun spots, and uneven tone. Traditional laser treatments, such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), often fall short—posing risks like burns, scarring, or worsened pigmentation in patients with deeper skin tones. Pico laser, by contrast, uses ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter pigment below the surface without relying on heat, making it safer and far more effective for melanin-rich skin.

“Many of the laser devices traditionally used in aesthetics simply weren’t made with South Asian skin in mind,” says Dr. Sameea Chughtai, co-founder of Aesthetic Skin and a board-certified physician of Pakistani heritage. “That’s why the Pico laser is such an exciting addition to our North Shore practice—it delivers real results, without the risk.”

The Pico laser is a popular tool throughout Asia, trusted for its ability to treat both brown and red discoloration, stimulate collagen, and improve skin clarity—all without damaging surrounding tissue. Now available in the Chicago suburbs, this technology gives Pakistani patients a treatment option that works with their skin, not against it.

Dr. Anil Shah, co-founder of Aesthetic Skin and a facial plastic surgeon of Indian and Italian descent, emphasizes that skin diversity is central to their practice. “We see many patients who’ve had bad experiences with outdated lasers. With the Pico device, we’re offering something that’s finally safe, fast, and effective—right here in the North Shore.”

The team at Aesthetic Skin Winnetka offers customized consultations to assess each patient’s skin concerns and determine if Pico laser is the right solution. Patients can now experience the same gold-standard technology trusted in Asia—without leaving their own North Shore Chicago suburb neighborhood.
