At Finger & Associates in Savannah, Dr. E. Ronald Finger offers advanced non-surgical treatments to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance. For patients who want to avoid surgery, or for those who have had a facelift and need additional maintenance, the most effective approach can be summarized in four goals: Resurface, Reposition, Refill, and Relax.

These four treatment pillars, when carefully planned in sequence, provide a natural “turn back the clock” result. Each patient has unique needs, so treatments are always customized, but the general order is: laser skin resurfacing, PDO lifting threads, dermal fillers, and Botox-type injections.

Resurface: Advanced Laser Treatments in Savannah

Healthy, smooth skin is the foundation of a youthful look. Laser technology is one of the most effective ways to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and correct age spots.

At Finger & Associates, Dr. Finger uses the UltraClear laser, which offers several advantages:

• Shorter recovery times compared to older laser systems
• Less discomfort during treatment
• More powerful energy settings for improved results
• Versatility for both the face, neck, and other areas of the body

The UltraClear laser is unique because it has a “laser coring mode,” allowing Dr. Finger to combine modes for more effective outcomes. Whether a patient needs a gentle “lunchtime” laser or a stronger corrective session, treatment is tailored to individual goals.

Reposition: PDO Lifting Threads in Savannah

Once skin texture is improved, the next step is repositioning sagging tissues. PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to gently lift and tighten.

• Lifting threads have small burrs that hold the skin in place, creating a “mini facelift” effect
• Threads also stimulate collagen and elastin production, giving the skin more volume and firmness over time
• While the threads dissolve in about six months, the new collagen can last up to two years

PDO thread treatments are done in-office with minimal discomfort, making them an excellent choice for patients in Savannah, Pooler, Hilton Head, and surrounding areas who want natural results without downtime.

Refill: Dermal Fillers for Volume and Balance

As the face ages, volume loss occurs in the cheeks, lips, temples, and under the eyes. Dermal fillers help restore this youthful fullness.
At Finger & Associates, Dr. Finger uses a range of filler options including:

• Juvederm and Restylane hyaluronic acid fillers, which can last 6 months to 2 years depending on the product
• Sculptra and Radiesse, which both replace lost volume and stimulate collagen for long-term improvement

Often, a combination approach is best. For example, fillers may be placed under the eyes to reduce hollows while also enhancing cheek volume for a balanced, natural look.

Relax: Botox and Neuromodulators in Savannah

The final step in the non-surgical rejuvenation plan is addressing fine lines and expression wrinkles. Botox-type injections relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.

When used in combination with lasers, threads, and fillers, Botox enhances the overall result by smoothing the dynamic lines that fillers or lasers cannot fully correct.

Why Order Matters

Dr. Finger carefully sequences these treatments to maximize results:

1. Laser resurfacing first, because it tightens skin and reduces the amount of lifting or filling needed
2. PDO threads next, to reposition and support sagging tissues
3. Fillers for targeted volume loss where threads or lasers are not enough
4. Botox last, to refine and relax wrinkles for a polished finish

This combination approach reduces the need for surgery while still creating dramatic, natural-looking results.
