HALO® Laser Skin Resurfacing
HALO® hybrid fractional laser resurfacing combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to improve the
appearance of uneven tone, texture, fine lines, sun-related changes, and overall radiance.
HALO® is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that delivers two wavelengths simultaneously: a non-ablative 1470
nm wavelength and an ablative 2940 nm wavelength. This combination allows treatment to address concerns at both the surface and deeper layers of the skin.
HALO® may be recommended to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines, sun-related
changes, and dullness, revealing a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.
Treatment intensity, downtime, and the areas treated are customized based on your skin, concerns, and goals.
Your aesthetic provider will review candidacy and provide individualized pre- and post-treatment instructions.
Medical-grade chemical peels exfoliate the skin to improve the appearance of tone, texture, and luminosity, with
treatment strength customized to your skin concerns, goals, and preferred downtime.
Medical-grade chemical peels use exfoliating solutions to remove damaged surface layers of skin and support a
brighter, smoother-looking complexion. Treatments may be performed every 3–4 weeks depending on peel
strength, skin response, and treatment goals.
Light peels require little to no downtime and may be appropriate for dull or tired-looking skin, mild texture
concerns, and preventative skin maintenance.
Medium-depth peels provide a more intensive level of skin renewal and may be recommended for concerns such
as sun damage, fine lines, skin laxity, and more noticeable texture or tone changes. Recovery may be
approximately 3–4 days.
A consultation helps determine the appropriate peel type, treatment frequency, and skin care plan for your
individual needs.
BBL® uses targeted light energy to address visible pigmentation, redness, rosacea, facial vessels, acne, and
uneven tone while supporting clearer, more even-looking skin.
BroadBand Light (BBL®) is a light-based treatment used to address selected pigment and vascular concerns in
the skin. Treatment may be recommended for visible sun damage, brown spots, redness, rosacea-related
appearance, facial vessels, acne, or uneven skin tone.
BBL® treatments can be customized to the concern and treatment area, including pigmentation or visible redness
and vessels. Patients may notice improvements in skin tone, clarity, and firmness with limited downtime.
Your aesthetic provider will evaluate your skin, select appropriate treatment settings, and review pre- and posttreatment
care, including sun protection.
SkinPen® microneedling creates controlled microchannels that stimulate the skin’s natural collagen and elastin response to improve texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, and other selected concerns.
SkinPen® microneedling is a minimally invasive collagen-induction treatment that creates controlled
microchannels in the skin to stimulate the natural repair response and support collagen and elastin production.
Treatment may help improve the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, neck lines and laxity, fine lines and
wrinkles, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture.
A series of treatments is often recommended, typically spaced about one month apart for three or more sessions
depending on your goals and response. Treatment areas, timing, and aftercare are customized during
consultation.
Temporary redness, sensitivity, or tightness may occur as the skin recovers.
Microneedling combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) uses components from your own blood to complement
collagen induction and support smoother, brighter, more even-looking skin.
PRF with microneedling combines collagen-induction therapy with platelet-rich fibrin prepared from a small
sample of your own blood. PRF contains platelets, fibrin, and naturally occurring growth factors that are used to
support the skin’s healing and rejuvenation response.
This treatment may be considered for concerns such as acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, rough
texture, discoloration, uneven tone, and overall skin quality. Treatment areas may include the face, neck, chest,
and backs of the hands.
A topical numbing product may be applied before treatment for comfort. After treatment, the skin may appear
red and feel dry, tight, tender, or mildly swollen for the first several days as it heals.
Results develop gradually as collagen rebuilds. The current treatment protocol recommends a series of
approximately 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with the final plan customized to your goals and
response.
PRF with microneedling may not be appropriate during pregnancy or nursing, with certain blood disorders, during
a recent or active infection, during an autoimmune condition flare, or when an active cold sore is present in the
treatment area. Your provider will review your medical history and candidacy during consultation.
HydraFacial® combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in a customizable treatment designed to
refresh the skin and support a smoother, brighter complexion.
HydraFacial® is a multi-step rejuvenation treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin. The
treatment can be customized to address multiple skin concerns and to fit an ongoing skin care or maintenance
plan.
Available enhancements may include manual extractions, dermaplaning, or lymphatic drainage when appropriate
for your skin and treatment goals.
Your aesthetic provider can recommend the treatment approach and combination of enhancements that best fit
your skin type, current concerns, and desired level of rejuvenation.
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment that removes surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair to reveal
smoother, brighter-looking skin and improve overall texture.
Dermaplaning uses a specialized blade to gently remove surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. The
treatment can help create a smoother texture, brighter appearance, and improved surface-level product
absorption.
Dermaplaning may be performed as a stand-alone treatment or combined with selected services such as
HydraFacial®, BBL®, chemical peels, or microneedling when appropriate.
Your aesthetic provider can recommend timing and treatment combinations based on your skin, current routine,
and goals.
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to reduce unwanted hair in selected treatment areas, with a
treatment plan customized to the area, skin, hair, and individual goals.
Laser hair removal is available for selected treatment areas and uses targeted light energy to reduce unwanted
hair over a planned series of treatments.
A consultation is required before treatment to review the area being treated, evaluate candidacy, discuss
preparation and aftercare, and determine an appropriate treatment schedule.
The number of sessions and treatment settings vary based on the treatment area and individual response.
PRF hair restoration uses platelet-rich fibrin prepared from your own blood to support scalp rejuvenation and
address concerns related to hair thinning and hair loss.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair restoration uses a concentration prepared from your own blood and injected into
selected areas of the scalp. PRF contains naturally occurring growth factors used to support healing and scalp
rejuvenation.
The treatment is designed to improve microcirculation in the scalp, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to hair
follicles as part of a treatment plan for hair thinning or hair loss.
A series of treatments is required for meaningful results. Recommendations, treatment areas, timing, and
maintenance are discussed during a comprehensive consultation based on your hair and scalp concerns.
HydraFacial Keravive® scalp treatments cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the scalp to support scalp health, vitality,
and a personalized approach to healthier-looking hair.
Hair & scalp rejuvenation includes HydraFacial Keravive®, a scalp-focused treatment designed to cleanse,
exfoliate, and nourish the scalp. Often described as a “scalp facial,” Keravive® supports a cleaner, more hydrated
scalp environment and overall scalp vitality.
Treatment plans are customized to your unique scalp needs and may include full- or partial-scalp treatments.
Correction, maintenance, and prevention approaches may also incorporate at-home scalp care products as part
of the overall plan.
Your aesthetic provider will review your scalp concerns and recommend an appropriate treatment series and
maintenance approach.
Botox® and Dysport® are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity to soften
expression lines and support a refreshed, natural-looking appearance.
Botox® and Dysport® may help soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial
movement. These injectable treatments work by temporarily reducing muscle activity in targeted areas, which
may help smooth expression lines over time.
Common treatment areas may include frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, neck bands, and downturned
corners of the mouth. During your visit, your care team will evaluate your facial movement, discuss your goals, and
customize the amount and placement of treatment based on your anatomy and needs.
Treatment is typically quick and does not usually require anesthesia, although topical numbing cream may be
used for comfort. Many patients return to normal daily activities the same day or the day after treatment, with
minimal swelling or bruising.
Results may begin to appear within several days, with full effect often seen within about one week. Botox® and
Dysport® typically last about three to four months before gradually wearing off.
Botox® and Dysport® may also be recommended as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan. They may not be
the best option for deeper lines or more advanced wrinkles, and your care team can discuss other surgical or nonsurgical
options when appropriate.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore or enhance facial volume, soften the appearance of
selected lines and folds, and refine facial contours with treatment customized to your anatomy and goals.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can restore or add facial volume, soften selected lines and folds, and
enhance facial contours as part of a personalized non-surgical rejuvenation plan. Different filler formulations are
designed for different treatment areas and goals, so product selection, amount, and placement are tailored to
your facial anatomy and desired result.
During your consultation, your care team will evaluate facial proportions, discuss the areas you would like to
address, and recommend an individualized approach intended to support balanced, natural-looking results.Depending on the product and treatment area, results may be visible soon after treatment and are generally
temporary. How long results last varies based on the filler used, treatment area, and individual response.
Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or discomfort can occur after treatment. Dermal fillers also carry
uncommon but potentially serious risks, including accidental injection into a blood vessel. Your provider will review
your medical history, candidacy, expected results, aftercare, and potential risks before treatment.
Lake Washington Facial Plastic Surgery offers personalized surgical facial rejuvenation, from focused
procedures to more comprehensive facial surgery. Treatment options include rhinoplasty, deep-plane
facelift, eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), brow lift, and otoplasty, with care designed to address each
patient’s individual anatomy, concerns, and goals while supporting natural-looking, balanced results.
During your consultation, your surgeon will take time to understand what you hope to achieve, answer
your questions, and discuss the surgical options that may best fit your needs, preferences, and
available downtime. Each treatment plan is individualized to support facial balance, function, and a
result that complements your natural features.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure used to change the position, shape, or size of the ear using permanent sutures.
The primary indication for otoplasty is to correct prominauris, or protruding ears.
Patients are born with varying sizes and shapes to the ear. Sometimes the ear can protrude more than normal. Otoplasty utilizes a small incision hidden behind the ear in combination with suture sculpturing to provide an improved appearance to the ear. For children, waiting until 5 years of age is recommended to avoid affecting the growth of the ear. For children, general anesthesia is recommended; adults can have the procedure under local anesthesia.
Whether your nose is larger than you prefer, has undergone trauma or injury, is shaped oddly from a birth defect, or is causing breathing issues, we can help with a rhinoplasty (nose reshaping).
Anesthesia: Typically most rhinoplasty cases are performed under general anesthesia.
Incision: Rhinoplasty can be performed either with all the incisions inside the nose or with a tiny incision at the bottom of the nose.
Sutures: Incisions are hidden in the contours of the nose so that they won’t be noticeable. We use extremely fine sutures to close the nose and take a very cautious and meticulous approach to the closure of the incision.
Recovery: While everyone heals at different rates, the average recovery time for a rhinoplasty is 14 to 21 days. At that time, most of the normal swelling and bruising will have dissipated.
Dr. Lee customizes each procedure to meet each of his patient’s needs. With this approach, his results look natural and beautiful. Patients do not look pulled, stretched, or artificial.
It is important to choose the correct kind of procedure with blepharoplasty because over-resection of fat can lead to an improved cosmetic appearance in the short term, but lead to a hollowed, aged appearance years later.
Blepharoplasty is often combined with a brow or mid-face lift to maximize rejuvenation in the periorbital region. In addition, laser resurfacing of the skin can help remove fine wrinkling, which is difficult to correct with surgery alone. Botox and Dysport are also useful adjunctive treatments.
Anesthesia: A blepharoplasty can be performed under any kind of anesthesia depending on your personal preference.
Incision: The incisions are hidden in the natural creases of the eyelid or can be performed inside the eyelid.
Recovery: While everyone heals at different rates, the average recovery time for a blepharoplasty is 7 to 14 days. At that time, most of the normal swelling and bruising will have dissipated.
Reduces the wrinkle lines that develop horizontally across the forehead, as well as those that occur on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes, Improves frown lines, the vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows, raises sagging brows that are hooding the upper eyelids, places the eyebrows in an alert and youthful position.
We provide reconstructive surgery for congenital facial differences or anomalies, scar revision, skin cancer reconstruction after Mohs surgery, and facial trauma. These cases can be complex and may range from nasal or facial fractures to more comprehensive facial reconstruction. Having a surgeon experienced in both reconstructive and cosmetic facial surgery allows patients to receive thoughtful, comprehensive care that considers both function and natural-looking results.

Dr. Lee is not just a skilled surgeon; he is a compassionate and kind individual who is truly dedicated to helping his patients achieve their desired results.”
Dr. Adrienne Laury Reviews
In a great coincidence, Dr. Laury was already tending to my son’s health with great care, and her office happened to be next door to the master aesthetician I saw for my skin. When I learned that Dr. Laury provided facial injections, I didn’t hesitate to see her and have been highly satisfied for several years. She knows just the right recipe for me and the fresh look I want. Plus, she is super sweet as well!
Dr. Laury couldn’t be more pleasant providing Botox treatments for my “angry elevens” over the last three years. I highly recommend her.
