Facial resurfacing can involve a variety of treatments, including laser resurfacing, chemical peels, dermabrasion, and microneedling. The right procedure for a patient will depend on their cosmetic goals and concerns.
The skin experiences changes with age — changes that can be accelerated with increased sun exposure, smoking, and genetics. Unfortunately, by the time most patients begin treatment to improve skin quality and appearance, extensive damage has been done. Even patients who take excellent care of their skin will still notice loss of volume and elasticity, and discoloration and changes in texture. Additionally, patients may see fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and small blood vessels near the surface of their skin.

The Potential of Facial Resurfacing
Whether the patient chooses laser resurfacing, chemical peels, dermabrasion, or microneedling, the value of each will depend on treatment goals and areas of concern.
Laser resurfacing (typically done with a carbon dioxide, or CO2 laser) can help address acne, scarring, abnormal skin texture, and age-related changes like fine lines, deep wrinkles, and sun damage. Laser resurfacing can be done in a fractionated manner, which requires less downtime but a series of treatments to see results. Or, patients can undergo more aggressive, ablative laser resurfacing to experience more profound benefits. However, patients will need more downtime during the healing process.

My results were better than I expected and not ONE person has asked if I “had work done on my eyes.” Only compliments that I look happy and younger lately! Dr. Pollei is a true professional, very warm and personable bedside manner. I love that he refuses to do any work that would make the patient look superficial. I was so nervous to have bleph surgery but it was quick and easy with minimal downtime. I highly recommend Dr. Pollei.
Dr Pollei and staff were excellent from start to finish. The results of my surgery are unbelievable, so natural nobody really notices I had a full face lift and best of all.. my scars are healed and gone!!!! Highly recommend these guys!
I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Dr. Pollei and his staff. I had a rhinoplasty / septoplasty done, and a pretty challenging one at that from past broken noses. Dr. Pollei did an amazing job! His demeanor is patient, kind and caring and his work is impeccable. I couldn’t be happier with my results. Also, his staff was so helpful throughout the entire process. They are always there for anything I need. I am genuinely grateful to him and his team.
I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Pollei and 4 months post surgery I could not be happier with the results. From our first meeting during the consultation to our post op appointments Dr. Pollei made me feel so welcome and comfortable. His team is also incredible, kind, and knowledgable. Dr. Pollei listened to my concerns, spoke open and honestly about the results, recovery and care and was accessible if I had any questions - pre and post. Thank you Dr. Pollei and team for a fantastic experience.
It is hard to believe that having minor surgery on my face could be a pleasant experience but it certainly was. Dr. Pollei is very patient and explained the whole procedure to me and answered all my questions. They did everything possible to make me comfortable and relaxed. The staff is patient and kind. The kind of people you would like to be friends with when they are not doing their work. Oh, and I guess this is important too. No scar, very nicely done.
