Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Resurfacing creates younger, smoother skin that will delay the need for a Facelift. A Facelift can lift and tighten – but only light or energy based devices (lasers) can improve the quality and function of the skin. Laser resurfacing effectively addresses the skin’s surface as well as wrinkles and discoloration. Laser Resurfacing and Facelift in concert are truly a “dynamic duo.” For those who want to erase fine lines around the mouth and the eyes - Dr. Cole uses Palomar precision lasers, to remove damaged or wrinkled skin layer by layer. The laser energy also tightens the skin while simultaneously improving the skin’s texture and quality. When the healing process is complete, you enjoy smoother, firmer and younger looking skin – all from natural energy based lasers.
When considering laser treatment – it is critical to choose a surgeon who is well qualified and experienced. Dr. Cole is a certified laser instructor who teaches other surgeons safe – correct laser usage & techniques.

LASER RESURFACING PROCEDURE:
Your treatment will take about 30 minutes or longer during which time a hand held piece will be passed over the area(s) being treated – allowing the laser energy to pass through the skin into deeper dermal layers and do its work. The laser heat causes damaged skin to peel and rejuvenate from deep within to leave you with smoother, firmer, more youthful looking skin. The process also stimulates your bodies own collagen renewal. Dr. Cole offers his patients a variety of laser treatment options – for different needs - to achieve individual, realistic goals.
