SKIN ANALYSIS
WHAT IS A SKIN ANALYSIS?
Our skin analysis will allow us to identify your overall skin condition. We’ll determine your skin’s type if it’s dry, oily, or a combination of both, and its sensitivity. We will check for skin conditions and take a look at your skin’s hydration level, lipid levels, melanin, and erythema (redness of the skin). This test allows us to form the perfect treatment plan for you to achieve the best results for your goals!
When to Consider
If you are a new patient and unsure of the type of treatment you need to address your concerns, a skin analysis will be the best place to start.

DERMAPLANING
WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?
This is a manual, physical exfoliation technique that safely and efficiently removes surface debris with a derma planing blade. This treatment has many benefits (instantly brightens skin, stimulates cell regeneration, increased absorption of topical skin care products, immediately diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, creates a more radiant appearance) and is quick, safe, and effective with no downtime. Dermaplaning can be done as an add-on during your facial treatment to allow for better penetration of the solutions applied to your face during your facial treatment.
When to Consider
Good to do before a facial or peel, as it allows them to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. Can be done on its own.

LASER Services
Over time, our skin’s outer layers start to show wear and tear from aging, injury, and environmental factors in the form of wrinkles, scars, age spots and discoloration. Facial laser treatments help to reverse these signs of aging and stress, helping you look younger, and even healthier, in the process.
SKIN RESURFACING
WHAT IS SKIN RESURFACING?
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, sun damage, age spots, and acne scars with minimal downtime. Instead of removing your skin layers with chemicals, the CO2 laser removes skin layers by vaporization to renew and revitalize the skin.

BROAD BAND LIGHT / INTENSE PULSE LIGHT
WHAT IS BROAD BAND LIGHT/IPL?
Intense pulsed light, or IPL, is a 30-minute non-surgical procedure in which intense pulses of light are used to penetrate deep into the skin. IPL™ photorejuvenation then causes collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing redness, dark spots, broken capillaries, wrinkles, and stretch marks. IPL can also treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation, age spots, spider veins, vascular lesions, texture problems, and fine lines.
When to Consider
If you are concerned with pigmentation, age/sun spots, broken capillaries or overall skin appearance on your face, hands, chest or neck.
Candidates
- 1 Healthy individuals from ages 18-65+
- 2 Nonsmokers
Recovery
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings. The redness will usually disappear within a few hours. In most cases, makeup may be immediately applied, and daily activities can be resumed on the very same day. Our providers will advise to stay out of direct sun for a few days following the treatment and to apply sunscreen.

Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots may be cleared with as few as 1-Typically 2-6 sessions with 2-4 weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.

RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING
WHAT IS RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING?
Radio Frequency Microneedling targets the tissue directly under your skin. It combines needling which will trigger your body to increase its natural production of collagen with radiofrequency, which will heat the tissue directly under your skin to cause this tissue to contract and tighten over a period of a few months. This is great to treat skin laxity, wrinkles, acne scarring, large pore size, and improve the skin tone!
When to Consider
With time, our body begins to lose collagen, elastic, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid. All these things are needed to keep our skin looking full and plump and helps to minimize the fine lines and wrinkles. The fat pads (yes, we have fat in our face and it is a good thing!) -- there are around nine -- in our mid-face that begins to thin. As they thin, our skin loses a lot of its support and as a result will tend to sag over time.
Candidates
- 1 Healthy individuals with realistic expectations
- 2 Nonsmokers
- 3 Individuals who desire to improve damaged or aged skin
Recovery
Immediately following the treatment, your skin will be warm and may be slightly red. This redness typically lasts about 24 hours. Most patients are back to their full makeup and skincare routine within 24 hours.
Results
The main advantage of the microneedling with radio frequency is that this treatment encourages your body to produce your own and build up your body’s collagen. However, this does typically take your body several months to do so. Results will not be immediate.

HAIR REMOVAL
WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is a convenient, noninvasive method for permanently reducing or removing unwanted facial or body hair. It leaves the skin looking smoother and silkier than waxing, electrolysis or razors and is a gentle technique that can treat larger areas effectively with minimal discomfort and with no downtime.
When to Consider
If you have unwanted facial or body hair that makes you feel self-conscious or limits your ability to wear certain clothing or if you are looking for an alternative to waxing, electrolysis, shaving, and bleaching, laser hair removal might be right for you.
Candidates
- 1 Healthy individuals of all ages
Recovery
The appearance of the treated area following treatment varies from patient to patient. During the treatment, some hairs will shed from the follicle immediately, while the remaining will shed in the following weeks. Some redness and swelling around the hair follicle may appear immediately after the treatment, but are in fact, positive results indicating the follicle’s response to the treatment.
Results
Multiple treatments are required to achieve permanent hair reduction. The number of treatments varies depending on the area. Most areas will require at least four sessions and may need up to eight or more usually spaced about four to six weeks apart to see desired results. This is due to the increased efficiency of the laser on hair in the early growth stage (anagen).

INJECTABLES Services
Enhance your features and erase signs of aging with our injectable treatments. Trust your face in the hands of the Sturm Cosmetic Surgery team. We will provide you with the most ideal results that meet your expectations.
BOTOX
WHAT IS BOTOX?
Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin, better known under brand names such as Botox Cosmetic®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. Neurotoxin treatments are the most popular single cosmetic procedure in the U.S. and are mainly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, or those wrinkles that form as a result of facial movements like frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions we tend to make day after day. Treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. As a result, your expressions soften and the dynamic wrinkles are greatly reduced.
When to Consider
Botox-type injectables can help an adult patient of any age improve his or her appearance, not only imparting a more youthful look but also alleviating an overly concerned look, helping you look better refreshed or even more pleasant.
Candidates
- 1 Healthy individuals
- 2 Nonsmokers
- 3 Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment, but you may be asked you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity and to keep your head upright for the rest of the day. Mild redness, swelling at the injection site, and bruising are the most common side effects of Botox injections.
Results
Following treatment, you will not see results immediately. This is expected, so do not worry that treatment hasn’t worked. Depending on the patient, product used, and area treated, final results are typically reached 3 to 7 days after initial treatments. If this is your first botulinum toxin treatment, your cosmetic surgeon may initially inject a more conservative amount and touch up the results during a follow-up treatment. This helps to ensure natural, optimal results without the risk of over-treating an area.

DYSPORT
WHAT IS DYSPORT?
Dysport temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines. In other words: natural-looking results that look and feel like you.
When to Consider
If you’re under 65 and seeking treatment to temporarily improve the wrinkles between the eyebrows, Dysport is the perfect option for you.
Candidates

Results
The majority of clients see improvement in just 2-3 days after treatment. In just one 10- to 20-minute treatment, Dysport may help improve the look of your frown lines between the eyebrows for up to 5 months. Results of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first use. Another plus? There is minimal downtime after your treatment, which means you can get back to your daily routine.

FACIAL FILLERS
WHAT ARE FACIAL FILLERS
Facial fillers also known as dermal fillers, replace lost volume to help smooth wrinkles, plump the lips, and restore a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours.
When to Consider
While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this too! Common issues dermal fillers can help address are deep lines around the eyes, brow or mouth, change the contours of your jaw, nose or lips, or if you are interested in a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment option.
Candidates
- 1 Healthy individuals
- 2 Nonsmoker
- 3 Have a positive outlook with realistic goals
Recovery
Some patients experience mild bruising and swelling, but these are temporary and should subside over the days following treatment. You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment, but your cosmetic surgeon may ask you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity.
Results
Depending on the product and the areas treated, you should be able to notice results immediately after receiving filler injections. Generally speaking, the denser the product is and the more deeply it is injected, the longer it will last, although this is not a hard and fast rule. To maintain your results, Dr. Sturm will simply repeat treatment, adjusting the amount and techniques as necessary to ensure optimal results.

LIP FILLERS
WHAT ARE LIP FILLERS?
Whether you were born with thin lips or your lips are thinning due to the natural aging process, there are many ways to enhance them with fillers.

When to Consider

Candidates

- 2 Nonsmokers
- 3 Individuals who desire full, more youthful lips
Recovery
You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment, but you may be asked you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity and to keep your head upright for the rest of the day. Mild redness, swelling at the injection site, and bruising are the most common side effects of Lip Filler injections. If this is your first lip filler treatment, Dr. Sturm may initially inject a more conservative amount and then schedule a follow-up appointment 2 weeks after your initial injection to assess your results and decide if a dose adjustment is needed for future filler appointments. This helps to ensure natural, optimal results without the risk of over-treating an area.
Results
The plumping effects from lip filler treatments will vary depending on the patient, how many syringes are used and the product used, but results will typically last up to 12 months. To maintain your results, Dr. Sturm will simply repeat treatment, adjusting dosage and techniques as necessary to ensure optimal results. A lot of our patients like to come back around 8 or 9 months to retreat this lip area.
