To my patients:

I have 30 years of experience with all types of skin rejuvenation. The topics listed on the left side of this section offer details on tried and true approaches to surgical skin rejuvenation.

There are numerous non invasive treatments to improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles. These are discussed in the previous section. However, when wrinkles are very deep and surface skin damaage severe, only a more aggressive physical removal of the upper skin layers will attain the result that patients desire. These procedures all have the same thing in common; an improved result but a prolonged recovery and discomfort.

I commonly combine the more aggressive procedures discussed in this section with a few non ablative laser treatments afterward. The use of post treatment laser procedures dramatically reduces down time and skin redness, improves healing, reduces loss of skin pigmentation and enhances the result.

It has been my observation over 30 years that there is always something new in cosmetic skin rejuvenation. Unfortunately, not all new techniques work as advertised.  I only recommend techniques and strategies that are safe, predictable and that in my experience give proven results.
