Laser skin resurfacing can correct deep wrinkles, skin pigmentation, improve skin’s texture and stimulate new collagen growth for more youthful skin. Small microscopic columns of coagulated skin are vaporized and removed (leaving healthy tissue surrounding it). This forces new skin to replace the old damaged skin, leaving a more youthful appearance. By treating a fraction of the treated area., it minimizes the healing time leaving skin young and healthy, improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Dermal fillers are structured to replace the lost volume under the skin adding a more full youthful look. The filler material is injected directly into the wrinkle line or furrow you would like to elevate. With a fat transfer, fat from another area of the patient’s body is harvested, processed, and reinjected into the patient’s hands the same way synthetic fillers are done.
