The Three Treatment Protocols of Portrait PSR3 Portrait can be used according to three treatment regimens - PSR1, PSR2, and PSR3 - based on the severity of the problem being treated and the patient's expectation of downtime. With even the most intense treatment, it usually takes just over a week for skin to appear normal. PSR1: Requires a short series 3-4 low energy treatment sessions about three or four weeks apart. PSR1 is perfect for mild wrinkling and sun damage, and like a chemical peel, is followed with a day or two of flaking skin and then some mild redness for three to five days as the regenerative process is stimulated. PSR2: a single session treatment at a higher energy level recommended for those with moderate to severe wrinkling and sun damage, with a 7 to 10 day recovery period. In the first three days following treatment, the skin will darken to a brown tone as the layer beneath begins to remodel and heal. Flaking and peeling will follow, and some redness that is easily hidden with makeup. (Recovery from treatment at the PSR2 level far surpasses the extensive and painful downtime associated with laser resurfacing with the CO2 laser.) PSR3: Identical to PSR2, except that some areas of the skin requiring more extensive resurfacing will be treated with an extra pass.

Dr. Deborah L. Cole-Sedivy graduated from Ohio State University in 1977 with a B.S. in Pharmacy and completed a combined residency and Master's Degree in Clinical Hospital Pharmacy and Administration in 1980. She worked full time as a Clinical Hospital Pharmacist at OSU from 1980-82. It became obvious that she wanted to be involved in more directed hands-on patient care, and as a result she enrolled in medical school at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio in June of 1982.
 She graduated fourth in her class, was the top woman in her class in 1986, and received the Janet M. Glasgow Award for Academic Excellence. Dr. Cole-Sedivy completed a General Rotating Internship at Doctor's Hospital of Columbus, Ohio from 7/86-6/87. She next became the first osteopathic physician to complete the Grant Medical Center Family Practice Training Program, 1987-89. Dr. Cole-Sedivy became Board Certified by The American Board of Family Practice in 1989 and recertified in 2001. She was also inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Practice in 2000. Dr. Cole-Sedivy relocated near to the area where she was raised near Lake Erie in the Lorain/Avon/Avon Lake area and practiced full spectrum family practice including Obstetrics from 1989-1991. She then returned to Columbus and became associated with the OSU MedOhio Family Care Centers and assumed the Medical Directorship of the entire system of primary care, urgent care and occupational medicine centers within the first year. She retained a part time practice along with those responsibilities and after nearly a decade decided to return to private practice in September of 2001. Dr. Cole-Sedivy performed Obstetrical Care for the Columbus Health Department for the Perinatal Project from 1992-2000. Initially, she relocated at 47 E. Wilson Bridge Rd. In Worthington, but soon decided she wanted to offer her patients something more unique. Dr. Cole-Sedivy resides in Upper Arlington with her husband, Chuck Sedivy, of Sedivy Building Services and her two children, Nicholas (14) violinist, karate, and "sports-fan/future inventor" Phillip (9) violinist, karate, basketball, and lacrosse player. Family pets include cats, a golden retriever and several fish.
