The range of Laser treatments vary in intensity, downtime, number of procedures needed and results. All treatments deliver remarkable results with relatively fast recovery. When considering which treatment option is best for you, you and Dr. Sterry should discuss the trade-offs between downtime and results to determine the best option that fits your skin condition and lifestyle.
The RE-Plenish treatment is a wonderful after summer treatment that will eliminate the discoloration caused by sun exposure. There is no downtime needed with this treatment. The RE-Store & RE-fine Treatment Package, can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 treatments. Typically, there is no after treatment care and down time is minimal. The most aggressive treatment - The Re-Pair Treatment, can produce dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin. This is a single treatment procedure, but will require more downtime and after treatment care.

"Dr. Sterry is amazing. He performed a lower body lift on Nov. 14, 2005 and I am thrilled with the result. He will be doing a breast/arm lift on Feb. 3. I interviewed several of the top plastic surgeons in New York City when I decided to begin my plastics and there was NO comparison when it came to Dr. Sterry."
