Cannot recommend Dr. Rice enough! She’s truly an expert at what she does. Not only is she an amazing surgeon but she always makes me feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. She’s communicative and let me text her questions any time so I never felt unsure or anxious at any point before, during, or after my procedure. You are getting the best of the best with her.

If you have a specific outcome in mind and you're hesitant about choosing the right provider for something so important, keep reading. Dr. Rice was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Sometimes in a provider that also means you lose personability, but this was not the case. Her demeanor was kind, witty, and comfortable! I felt supported through the entire process from consultation to payment to procedure day. I had chin liposuction performed in-office in 2025. The recovery was minimal and exactly as Dr. Rice described. As the months passed, I continued to notice improvements, but now, 7 months later, I absolutely love my results. The difference in my side profile—especially my jawline—has been significant, and I'm so happy I chose to move forward with the procedure. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rice to anyone considering chin liposuction or looking for a provider who combines skill with genuine compassion.

Dr. Rice is truly exceptional. As a 2026 bride (September!) who recently moved back to Chicago, finding someone I could completely trust with my face for Botox and filler felt overwhelming. After seeing Dr. Rice, I honestly can't imagine going to anyone else. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Her warmth, empathy, and sense of humor made the experience just as enjoyable as the results themselves. I've had less-than-great experiences in the past, so finding a physician who values a natural, personalized approach has been invaluable. Every time I leave her office, I feel refreshed, confident, and like the best version of myself. If you're looking for the very best in the Chicagoland area, I cannot recommend Dr. Rice highly enough.

Dr. Rice is not only an excellent and thoughtful doctor, but also someone who practices real empathy and patience with her patients. I initially scheduled a consultation with her, but due to another appointment running over, I had to leave early to get to work, miss my botox treatment, and was understandably frustrated. Dr. Rice personally took the time to email me afterward to apologize, and that level of care and accountability truly made a difference. I decided to return for my appointment, and I’m so glad I did. The results were incredible, and the entire experience afterward completely restored my confidence. I highly recommend Dr. Rice to anyone looking for both exceptional results and compassionate care.

I am so happy to see that Dr. Rice has opened up her own clinic in Chicago. I have worked with her for years. She fixed my lips and does an amazing job every time! She also administers my Botox and has educated me so much on skincare. I can't wait to do skinpen and peels in the winter!

I’ve trusted Dr. Rice with several procedures, and her level of talent and consistency truly sets her apart. She has a refined eye for detail and balance, which is clearly reflected in her results. Most recently, I underwent facial fat grafting and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome—it’s subtle, beautifully balanced, and incredibly natural. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering facial fat grafting, especially if you’re seeking a refreshed, natural-looking result.

There truly are not enough words to describe how exceptional Dr. Rice is. Choosing her for my procedures was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I share that with deep gratitude. I underwent a neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a very complex breast surgery that included a reduction, lift, Motiva implants, and mesh support, essentially a built-in internal bra. This was also my third breast surgery, so I came into this experience with a lot of perspective and very high expectations. After two previous surgeries with another surgeon that still left me far larger than I wanted, I knew how important it was to find someone with true technical mastery, vision, and precision. From the very first consultation, Dr. Rice made me feel completely heard, respected, and safe. She listened carefully to my goals, understood the nuances of my prior surgeries, and approached my case with an incredible level of thoughtfulness and detail. She never rushed me, explained everything thoroughly, and set realistic expectations while still instilling total confidence. The results are beyond anything I could have imagined. They are natural, beautifully proportioned, and truly life-changing. My neck and eyes look refreshed and elegant, not overdone, and my breast results are exactly what I had hoped for after years of trying to get it right. The internal mesh support alone has been transformative in terms of shape, lift, and long-term stability. Dr. Rice combines extraordinary surgical skill with meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for her patients. She holds herself to an incredibly high standard, and it shows in every aspect of her work and patient experience. If you are looking for a surgeon who delivers not only stunning results but also compassion, honesty, and precision, Dr. Rice is simply in a league of her own. I am profoundly grateful for her expertise and the life-changing work she has done for me.

Dr Rice performed a fat transfer to my breast and a tummy tuck almost three years ago. I’m 61 and have three children. So if you had kids, you know that upper fat is gone! I now have breasts that look better than when I was a teenager! Perky and Very Full still I had a few mammograms and did not mention the transfer, and they all came out great. I only lost around 30% of the initial fat. I was a fried egg flat A/B cup and now I’m a full C cup with cleavage and everything!!! The top half is full and seamless , no indentations of fakeness at all!! Now to the tummy tuck Girllll my tummy is snatched!! navel looks great and my scar looks like the V you have while wearing a thong!!! Flat, thin and smooth Oh and I forgot to mention, she removed the fat from my back, so my waist is snatched too! I cannot thank her enough. So if you’re thinking about any of these procedures, she is the best. She’s professional, knowledgeable, caring, kind, easy to talk to and cute too! Just like having your girlfriend taking care of you. She is that girl!!

I won a lip filler giveaway and my experience from beginning to end was amazing. Dr. Dahlia and Paula are so sweet, very thorough, and kept me informed along every step of the way. We did before and after pictures and the results were stunning. I’m so happy with the way my lips came out and have loved wearing lipstick again. I am looking forward to going back to DMR for any other cosmetic procedures I may want in the future. Thank you ladies!!!!

SkinPen Microneedling Benefits

The value of a skinpen treatment comes from how it works with your skin. By stimulating collagen, improving blood flow, and activating elastin fibers, it helps the skin rebuild over time. Results are gradual, with changes becoming noticeable after a few weeks:

  • Improves the appearance of acne scars and other scars

  • Enhances skin tone for a more radiant look

  • Softens wrinkles and early signs of aging

  • Minimizes pores and smooths uneven texture

  • Supports healthier skin through better blood flow

  • Promotes natural renewal without chemicals

Results vary depending on the depth of acne scars and how your skin responds. Since there’s no heat involved, it’s also a safer option for skin prone to pigmentation.

How Long Does a SkinPen Treatment Take?

SkinPen microneedling is a straightforward, in-office procedure that typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most patients experience minimal downtime, with mild redness or sensitivity for one to three days, and can quickly return to their normal routine. For safety and optimal results, the treatment should be performed using sterile, medical-grade equipment by a qualified provider.

What Happens During a SkinPen Treatment?

SkinPen works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates natural collagen production and activates the body’s healing process. This helps improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. In some cases, the treatment may be combined with PRP or exosomes to enhance results through additional growth factors and regenerative support.

When Will You Start Seeing SkinPen Results?

Results develop gradually as collagen rebuilds over time. Patients typically notice improvements in skin texture and firmness over the following weeks, with continued enhancement after each session. Because results are progressive, multiple treatments are often recommended to achieve the best outcome, and a consultation helps tailor the plan to individual goals.

SkinPen Aftercare Instructions

Chicago SkinPen DMR Aesthetics

After a SkinPen treatment, your skin may look red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and part of the healing process.

It’s important to keep the area clean, avoid touching your skin, and skip makeup for at least 24 hours. You should also avoid heat and strong skincare products right after the treatment.

Over the next few days, you may still notice some redness, tightness, or slight roughness as your skin heals. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two days, although recovery can take a bit longer for sensitive skin. Following your provider’s instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery and the best results.

    SkinPen Microneedling FAQ

    Where can I find SkinPen microneedling near me?

    When searching for SkinPen microneedling near me, focus on experience and safety. A qualified provider should use an FDA-cleared device and explain how they adjust the treatment based on your skin type and concerns. At DMR Aesthetics – Dahlia Rice, M.D. in Chicago, treatments are tailored to each patient’s goals, and you can review real patient results to better understand expected outcomes.

    What to expect from SkinPen treatment?

    During a skinpen treatment, your provider will apply a numbing cream to keep you comfortable. The procedure itself usually takes 60–90 minutes depending on the treatment area. You may feel light pressure or vibration, but most patients tolerate it well.

    SkinPen immediately after: what does the skin look like?

    Skinpen immediately after, your skin will likely appear red and slightly warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This comes from increased blood flow and typically settles within a few days as the healing process continues.

    How deep does SkinPen go?

    The depth of the microneedling device is adjustable. For example, deeper settings may be used for acne scars, while lighter depths are enough for wrinkles or improving pores. Your provider decides based on your specific skin concerns.

    How does SkinPen work?

    Skinpen microneedling creates controlled micro injuries in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. As the skin repairs these small wounds, new tissue forms, leading to smoother, more radiant, and natural results over time.
