New Skin Resurfacing Options
Our new skin resurfacing techniques use the Palomar StarLux® 500 Laser and Pulsed Light System because they offer the most versatile, effective and comfortable aesthetic treatments available.
Ablative Skin Resurfacing
Our ablative skin resurfacing uses fractional laser technology that results in noticeably tighter skin, less pigment and a visible improvement of your skin’s appearance. The Palomar Lux2940™ Fractional Ablative handpiece directs thermal energy into the skin via hundreds of tiny microbeams. Read more
Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing
With our “easier on the skin” fractional non-ablative process, light pulses are confined to narrow columns in the skin, allowing for a quick-healing process. The Palomar Lux1540™ Fractional Non-Ablative Laser handpiece delivers narrowed, focused light to create columns of coagulation within the skin, resulting in new, healthy tissue. Read more

A plan that’s right for you.
Olmsted Medical Center’s plastic surgery team can help improve certain aspects of your body. And a positive body image can improve self-esteem, self-confidence and psychological well-being. However, it’s important to understand the reason(s) why you are considering plastic surgery.
Reconstructive procedures may be done to correct defects or deformities from traumatic injuries or disease treatments. In these cases, we help restore the affected body area to as near-to-normal as possible.
Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body you wish to modify. Some cosmetic procedures aren’t surgical in nature, but may use special lasers. All cosmetic procedures need to be fully understood and the risks/benefits weighed to ensure the approach is right for you.
By keeping your expectations realistic and approaching plastic surgery as a means to improving body image -- rather than trying to look like someone else or solve bigger problems -- you can expect a successful plastic surgery experience. Our experienced staff will explain the typical results, expected down-time, risks, and associated expenses with you.
We invite you to explore our web site and contact us with any questions you may have. We welcome you as a patient and look forward to sharing our treatment philosophy with you. If plastic surgery is right for you or your loved one, we’ll approach it in the most personalized, skilled, compassionate, and confidential manner possible.
Together, we will develop a plan that’s right for you.
