What to Know about Laser Resurfacing


The owner of Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, Michele Zormeier, MD, ensures quality facial and anti-aging patient care. Having obtained her medical degree from Wayne State University, Michele Zormeier, MD, draws on years of experience to utilize various nonsurgical cosmetic procedures like laser resurfacing.

Also referred to as lasabrasion and laser vaporization, laser resurfacing is the process of reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and other irregularities on a patient’s face or other areas of the skin. It involves exposing the skin to microbeams or pulsating light beams, which in turn remove layers of skin to achieve the desired tone and texture.

After the procedure, the skin will feel warm and appear sunburned. The physician will then prescribe the patient regimens to help the newly repaired area heal. The patient must avoid exposure to direct sunlight during this period of recovery. As the skin undergoes healing, it starts to flake.

Laser resurfacing can be performed on certain parts of the face, neck, upper chest, hands, and arms.

DNA Testing Can Improve Wellness


Michele Zormeier, MD, works hard to help her patients “look and feel their best inside and out” at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center. With locations in Indiana and California, Michele Zormeier, MD, offers several services, including cosmetic and laser surgery, hormone replacement therapy, and nutritional medicine. Additionally, Dr. Zormeier helps her patients in their pursuit of overall wellness through DNA testing.

When patients are experiencing chronic health issues that have been difficult to diagnose, the root cause could be oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when the body is unable to manufacture the right quantity of antioxidants to balance free radicals in the blood stream. When these free radicals are allowed to run rampant, they can cause cellular damage, inflammation, and premature aging. They can even trigger a number of conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and fibromyalgia.

The body’s ability or inability to produce a sufficient number of antioxidants is linked to genetic variations. Each person’s DNA contains variants that make them unique. While some of those variants determine hair color, skin color, and other factors related to one’s appearance and personality, they can also affect one’s ability to produce critical enzymes and fight disease. 

With a simple saliva test, biotechnology company 23andMe can analyze a patient’s DNA for their genetic health risks and wellness. With this information in hand, a patient and their physician can map out a treatment plan that involves medical, lifestyle, and environmental changes that will improve their overall wellness.
