ABSTRACT
In 73 cases we have used facelift and skin resurfacing techniques with laser Derma-k since the year 2000. The
facelift and skin resurfacing techniques are carried out during the same surgical procedure, in order to save
time and improve the patient recovery and also minimal complications have been observed. Perioral and orbital
wrinkles, photo aging signs such as pigmentations and changes in skin color are treated with the skin resurfacing
technique. For the face-lift we utilized the technique that many Cosmetic surgeons have previously described.
By combining this two techniques a very acceptable facial rejuvenation is obtained with only one down
time period. Using these two techniques, a full-face rejuvenation is obtained with only one surgical procedure.
The patient recovery is quicker and the results obtained are much better.
