Chemical peels and laser resurfacing

Rejuvenation of the facial skin from years of sun damage, smoking, and chronologic aging can be achieved with both chemical peels and laser resurfacing. Dr. Putman performs laser resurfacing using a unique combination of both Erbium and CO2 wavelengths to achieve more dramatic improvement with less down time than traditional co2 laser resurfacing alone. In addition, he performs both medium depth and deeper chemical peels, depending upon the needs of the patient. These procedures tighten facial skin, remove sun damage and pigment spots, and improve wrinkles and acne scars, as well as providing an improved tone and texture to the skin. Dr. Putman stresses the importance of a good skin care maintenance program both pre- and postoperatively.
