Central Maine Plastic Surgery offers personalized skin care services for all skin types and problems. Our office provides clients with the most advanced products, services and skin regimens - available only through a physician's office.

We recognize that skin is a living organ that, because of aging, pollution, stress and other factors, can lose its health and resilience. We also know that with proper attention, techniques and advanced skin care products, damaged skin can be rejuvenated, look healthy and function properly again.

Working closely with a plastic surgeon, her husband Dr. Steven Bonawitz, Cheri Bonawitz offers professional, confidential skin care services that can: Diminish fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin smoothness, reduce pore size, improve elasticity, remove brown spots, blotches and superficial blemishes, and equalize pigmentation. As part of that treatment, she offers facials and several types of therapeutic chemical peels that revitalize the skin. She also specializes in hair reduction, vein removal, the treatment of telangectasia (the broken blood vessels usually associated with rosacia), and the treatment of acne.
