“Look younger, not different”
Erasing the signs of aging is what Dr. Suzanne L. Kilmer does best. A recognized expert in laser resurfacing, she can dramatically diminish wrinkles with a wave of her magic wand. “We have 27 lasers on-site, which means we customize our treatments to each individual patient,” she explains.
WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART?

My practice was the site for numerous FDA clinical trials, including the original CO2 laser resurfacing study and several fractional resurfacing studies.

HOW MANY DOCTORS WORK IN YOUR PRACTICE?

I lead a team of five board-certified dermatologists and an experienced nurse practitioner.

WHY DO YOU BELIEVE LESS IS MORE?

Unnatural, frozen features often result from too much of a good thing.

IN WHAT WAYS ARE YOU A LEADER?

I was the first female president of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery.

HOW IS DERMATOLOGY LIKE ART?

Dermatology requires an artistic eye. Whether we are filling lips or wrinkles, or treating volume loss, results are extremely technique dependent.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?

I like uncovering new and improved uses for lasers in skin care.

HOW CAN I GET RID OF WRINKLES NONSURGICALLY?

I incorporate injectables like Botox®, Juvéderm®, Perlane®, Radiesse®, Restylane® and Sculptra® Aesthetic. Patients should always consider the experience and skill of a physician prior to undergoing treatment.

Inside Information
LEADING-EDGE LASERS
Dr. Kilmer’s practice offers a full spectrum of laser procedures known to diminish fine lines, scars, brown spots, unwanted hair, blood vessels and even tattoos. “We take the time to listen to our patients’ concerns and then devise personalized treatment plans,” she says. “Lasers, for example, are very job specific. One type cannot treat every problem. It takes training, expertise and artistry to determine which laser is best suited to any given problem. Our broad selection of devices allows us to pick the best option for each individual concern.” A leader in laser resurfacing, Dr. Kilmer is now even more excited about her latest research with fractional laser resurfacing devices. “These lasers offer deep penetration into the skin, remodeling dermal collagen while only treating a fraction of the skin’s surface to minimize post-treatment recovery,” she says. “My patients have been thrilled with their newly rejuvenated, smooth skin, as well as improvement in wrinkles and acne scars. Fractional resurfacing is a highly-sophisticated, modern-day tool that can really work wonders for the skin. It’s therefore no surprise that many of my satisfied patients report more even skin tone and texture, smaller pores, with skin tightening, especially around the eyes and along the jawline and neck.”
