Both the Erbium and the Ultrapulse CO2 Lasers contribute to the improvement of wrinkles, softening of scars, and help to decrease the effects of environmental damage and consequently lessen the signs of aging. Your individual patient goals will determine which laser skin rejuvenation
procedure, or combination of procedures, are best to acheive your aesthetic goals.

| The Erbium, or Yag laser, offers much less penetration than the Ultrapulse CO2 laser, causes superficial tissue removal, and results in quicker healing times with less overall redness. The Erbium laser may also be used on the hands and neck to improve skin tone and correct laxity. |
 |
| |
|
| The Ultrapulse CO2 laser has been used as a skin resurfacing tool for about 10 years and is by far the best modality for removing wrinkles, sun spots, acne scars, and the effects of sun damage. This laser peel penetrates through several layers of the skin, stimulating new growth of collagen fibers and thereby providing a tightening effect. Patients tend to stay pink for the first 2-4 weeks, and continue to heal for the next 3 months. |

The Shumway Custom Face Lift rejuvenates the lower third of the face including the jowls and neck. This procedure is also referred to as a mini-lift and much like the Lifestyle Lift ™ that has recently become popular.
Doctor Shumway begins the procedure with an incision in the area of the temple hair (hidden in the hair), continues in front of the ear in a natural crease, and then continues around the ear lobe, circling the ear before ending in the hair behind the ear. The incision in front of the ear is placed in the natural skin creases so that it is well camouflaged after you heal. For men the incision is aligned to accommodate the natural beard-line.
In a Shumway Custom Lift the deep layer of muscle underneath the skin is tightened, not dissected, helping to support the skin after surgery, while minimizing post-operative bruising and swelling. To achieve a more dramatic result, this procedure can be combined with other surgical procedures, such as an eyelid/brow lift, liposculpture, or cheek/chin implants. Dr. Shumway can help you to assess which procedure(s) would be most beneficial to your overall appearance.
Doctor Shumway can design a custom face lift designed to meet your faces' unique individual needs.
- Minimize the incision and the recovery time.
- Accomplish many of the goals of a traditional full face lift.
- Can be performed under local anesthesia while you are awake.
- This procedure is ideal for professionals and those with tight schedules, as recovery is usually a few days.
- Many patients are good candidates, particularly younger patients in their 30s, 40s, and sometimes 50s.

Just like bovine collagen, CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast are injected just below the surface of the skin and are designed to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as to add volume to the lip and mouth region.
Treatment results are seen right away and typically last between 3- 6 months depending on the areas being treated.

| Advantages associated with using human collagen over bovine collagen include your ability to receive immediate treatment without waiting for an allergy test result to see if you are a candidate for this treatment. |
