Acne Treatment
All treatments for acne are preventative. Therefore, at least 2-12 weeks of constant treatment are needed before improvement is seen.

Birth Marks
Port wine stains, red birthmarks, and strawberry hemangiomas can all be improved by laser treatment. Laser treatment is safer than traditional methods because of its unique ability to selectively treat the birth mark without adversely affecting the surrounding tissue. Thus, we have the ability to eliminate many lesions while leaving the surrounding skin and skin pigment intact.

Fractional Resurfacing
Bridging the gap between ablative and non-ablative lasers is the Fractional Resurfacing laser. This laser causes microscopic wounds which reveal smoother skin as they heal. This laser is the best laser available to effectively treat melasma. The laser is also effective for use with acne, acne scarring and tightening facial skin.

Gentle Waves
The GentleWaves Skin Fitness System restores and maintains healthier smoother and better-looking skin. Through a process of LED Photomodulation, GentleWaves corrects skin appearance and helps minimize signs of aging over time. The procedure involves no pain, no side effects and no downtime. A series of treatments is required to get your skin in shape and looking great.

Laser Rejuvenation
Manifestations of skin damage by sun exposure can be improved by facial rejuvenation.

Laser Hair removal
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method of photoepilation which does not require the use of needles or messy chemical creams. Since thousands of hairs can be zapped in a single treatment session, large areas such as the back, shoulders, arms and legs can be effectively and efficiently treated. Multiple treatments are usually required to make hair removal permanent.

PhotoDynamic Therapy
PhotoDynamic Therapy (PDT) is performed in conjunction with a topical application of ALA, or Levulan to treat skin damage in a soft, gentle way. PDT delivers specific wavelengths of intense light through very specific filters to the skin. PDT efficiently treats redness, flushing, pigmentary problems, scars and wrinkles; to provide you with smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin. PDT can also improve both acne and rosacea.

Scarring

Skin Laxity
Many of our younger, more active patients have the early signs of aging such as "crow's feet" and frown lines. Thermage^TM is performed in our office, on an outpatient basis, to gently smooth fine lines and wrinkles without surgery, so you can resume normal activities immediately. Thermage is one of the lastest FDA-approved nonablative procedures for maintaining a youthful appearance. Thermage uses a radiofrequency (RF) system. The procedure is rapid and bloodless. For most patients the results are gradual over a three to six month period as the skin tightens and new collagen is formed.

Stretch Marks

Spot Removal
Brown spots and age spots are forms of pigmented lesions. Lasers can remove 90-95% of pigmented lesions effectively. Typically only one or two treatments are all that is necessary. Occasionally darker, larger spots may require additional treatment to obtain optimal results.

Tattoo Removal
We often see patients who are having second thoughts about their tattoo. What once seemed like a good idea may no longer fit their new image. Using an advanced laser system, we can remove your tattoo safely without leaving a scar. Laser and infrared tattoo removals are safer than other more invasive and painful methods. The number of treatments required for maximum improvement depends on the size, location, depth and color of your tattoo.

Vein Treatment
For facial vessels we have a multiple laser approach to address your cosmetic concerns. We are able to perform minimally-invasive therapy, utilizing laser energy to heat the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. While facial vessels respond well to laser therapy, multiple treatments are often required to achieve desired cosmetic results.
