Patients put their trust in triple-board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Nease at Southern Surgical Arts
Laser technology has been all over the news. Laser resurfacing is one that gets lots of attention for its ability to help build healthy new tissue taking years of sun damage off of the skin and giving a youthful, vibrant glow. It can erase sun spots, fine wrinkles, improve texture, and actually tighten the skin immediately after the treatment.
At Southern Surgical Arts, we offer two fractionated lasers - the CO2 laser and the Profractional Erbium laser. Its laser energy bores tiny holes into the skin. Each laser has its own benefits that make it more appropriate for patients but works similarly.
In general, the CO2 laser is the gold standard of resurfacing lasers for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction; whereas the Erbium laser has strengths for reducing sun spots (both brown and red) thus evening the skin tone and will improve the skin texture. Further, the Erbium laser allows us to treat some darker skin types with minimal risks. Both lasers help provide that healthy glow that most patients desire.
Southern Surgical Arts is committed to providing our patients with the best possible results and there are times when one of the lasers is more beneficial for the patient. In most cases, our surgeons will allow the patient to choose the laser; but there are other times where the surgeon makes a particular recommendation. "It is important we purchase almost every genre of laser technology so that our patients know that we are recommending the precise best laser for their skin type and goals," says Dr. Chad Deal.
The recovery time usually involves one week of being swollen, red and "scabby." Most patients are wearing makeup within 6-10 days and happy to show the world their new rejuvenated skin by then. The cost of laser resurfacing begins at $1899. A patient can also choose light sedation during the procedure in order to minimize discomfort.
Because there are possible complications with laser resurfacing. This includes redness, swelling and peeling and it does carry a small risk of infection so patients are prescribed anti-viral pills. "Choosing a surgeon who has experience performing laser resurfacing procedures will also help minimize risk," said Dr. Carey Nease. At Southern Surgical Arts, our surgeons have performed thousands of these procedures over the past four years.
A consultation with one of our board-certified cosmetic surgeons will be necessary to determine which laser is best for you. You can reach us at one of our convenient locations:

The
Jessner Peel is a chemical peel designed to exfoliate the top layers of the epidermis and stimulate collagen and elastin production deeper in the dermis. When treating skin conditions like
clogged pores,
sun damage,
acne and
hyperpigmentation, the Jessner Peel is one of our best performing procedures. The Jessner Peel is an unbuffered combination of 14% lactic acid, 14% salicylic acid, and 14% resorcinol in a hydro-alcohol base. It is considered a 7-day peel procedure because from the day the solution is applied to the end of peeling is usually about 7 days.
Southern Surgical Arts' Aesthestican Felicia Velarde located in Calhoun, Georgia said, "This is my favorite Chemical Peel because I'm seeing significant results for my patients with little downtime and maximum results!" The benefits of the Jessner Peel include:
The method and number of applications (or coats) applied will typically determine the depth of the peel and overall aesthetic results. The Jessner Peel can be repeated for an acne "tune-up" every 2 weeks, and 6-8 weeks for skin care maintenance. The Jessner Peel is not recommended for individuals with eczema, sunburn, active herpes simplex, rosacea, asthma, pregnancy, lupus or recent use of Accutane.
Southern Surgical Arts offers a variety of peels that meet your needs. Our aestheticians recommend the Jessner Peel to our patients in North Georgia and Chattanooga for noticeable results for beautiful skin.

Southern Surgical Arts, Chattanooga's leading
cosmetic surgery center, is staying on the cutting-edge of aesthetic enhancements by bringing the latest technology to their two locations. Recently introduced to patients, both the
Dermapen® and
Gentle Max Pro laser are producing stunning results.
Recently awarded "Best Professional Skin Rejuvenation Device" at THE Aesthetic Show 2012, the Dermapen is an advanced skin micro-needling. The fractional micro-needling device works to tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin and is effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing pore size and acne scars.
The unique spring-loaded needle tip of the Dermapen uses an automated needling motion that minimizes pain and discomfort, while better promoting an even absorption of topicals, such as PRP, hyaluronic acid, hydrogenated collagen, Vitamin C and peptides into the skin. Triple-board certified cosmetic and facial plastic surgeon Dr. Nease says, "The results are youthful looking skin with even tone and texture with the added benefit of very little downtime. Little downtime and immediate results are important to our patients and what we are known for."
The second new cosmetic enhancement technology to be added to Southern Surgical Arts' cosmetic surgery center is the Gentle Max Pro laser from Candela. This versatile laser offers a cooling system that helps cool the skin to make each patient's experience better and faster. The laser also treats hemangiomas (cherry moles), rosacea (redness), beard bumps (PFB), pigmented lesions (brown/age spots), spider veins and broken capillaries.
"The Gentle Max Pro is the newest and most advanced laser on the market. With its addition, Southern Surgical Arts now has more than ten lasers that can treat most cosmetic concerns," states Dr. Deal, Southern Surgical Arts' second board certified cosmetic surgeon.
