We Are Now Offering Virtual Consultations. Please Schedule Your Consultation Online.

As a cosmetic medicine facility, we typically do not service sick patients. Our patients are electing to have procedures that are not medically necessary, so your risk of running into an ill patient is lower than that of other healthcare facilities.
Our surgeries and other treatments are performed in our private facilities that are used purely for elective treatments.

We continue to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, and are actively following the guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) as well as our local, state and federal government agencies. Our usual guidelines include universal precautions, frequent handwashing, and frequent sanitizing of all patient areas. For the most up-to-date information, please check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website about this evolving situation, how to reduce the risk of spreading illness, travel health notices, and more.

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Currently, as the coronavirus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, we have now adopted several enhanced safety measures to decrease the risk of exposure to you and the community which include the following:

Please wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use the hand sanitizers provided when you enter our offices.
If you are feeling unwell or anyone in your household may have been exposed to COVID-19 through travel or attendance at large gatherings less than two weeks ago, please call us at your earliest convenience so we can reschedule you!
If you need to cough or sneeze, do so into the crease of your elbow, and then immediately wash your hands.
Know the symptoms of Coronavirus: tiredness, fever, weakness, shortness of breath and diarrhea. This virus is lower respiratory focused, so you may not have upper respiratory symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, and congestion.
Take these additional preventive actions to stop the spread of germs-(wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces).

We hope that each of you will stay safe & healthy as we navigate this complex situation together.

Sincerely,
Dr. Obasi & his staff at Noble Cosmetic Surgery

Laser Resurfacing Q & A

by Patrick Obasi, MD, FACS

What is laser resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing works by vaporizing damaged skin cells. The result is a fresh layer of new skin and the disappearance of fine lines, scars, or pigmentation. It’s a quick, virtually painless procedure.

Am I a candidate for laser resurfacing?

In Dr. Obasi’s experienced hands, laser resurfacing is a safe, effective treatment option for most patients. If you have one or more of these conditions, you may be an ideal candidate for this treatment:

Blotchy pigmentation
Rough skin texture
Fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes or mouth, or on the forehead
Enlarged oil glands
Shallow acne scarring
Non-responsive skin following facelift surgery

Sometimes laser resurfacing can be combined with other treatment methods, such as a facelift, dermal fillers, or dermabrasion. Dr. Obasi will customize a unique treatment plan for your needs. If you’re getting multiple treatments, he’ll most likely space them out, so your skin has time to heal in between procedures.

What is the treatment like?

While the CO2 laser delivers high-intensity energy, treatment is carefully controlled, and your well-being is a top priority. Usually, only local anesthetic is needed. Oral sedation is an option to help you relax if you’re very nervous about the procedure.

Dr. Obasi cleanses your skin and provides you with the appropriate eye protection. He then preps the laser ― which is delivered via a hand piece ― and passes it in a pattern over your skin. Laser resurfacing takes about 45 minutes for a focused area, and up to two hours for full face treatment.

What happens after treatment?

The treated area is bandaged. Dr. Obasi gives you detailed instructions for aftercare to minimize the risk of complications and to speed healing. Some swelling and redness are normal. With careful cleansing and use of topical ointments, you should be able to avoid scabbing.

Sun protection and moisturizer are necessary during the healing period of 10-21 days. You may begin wearing oil-free makeup as your skin heals. Then, simply enjoy your softer, smoother, more youthful complexion.
