Q: I have heard about laser skin treatments and wonder how effective they are?

A: Laser Cosmetic Therapy is a treatment that utilizes light energy to deliver therapeutic changes in the skin. Different types of laser light target different types of skin tissue. Laser treatments can effectively treat the following conditions:

• Facial redness due to broken capillaries and rosacea.
• Minor facial veins
• Leg veins smaller than 4mm
• Adult and teen acne
• Hyperpigmentations such as age/sun spots, acne scars, port-wine stains, and melasma (pregnancy mask)
• Pseudo-folliculitis (shaving bumps) of the neck and bikini-line
• Reduction of unwanted hair

Lasers can also benefit the skin by:

• Stimulating collagen growth to firm and tighten the skin
• Gently and precisely exfoliating the skins surface to reveal fresh evenly toned skin.

Q: Does it hurt?

A: Some areas are more sensitive than other; however, all the procedures are very tolerable. Our patients describe it as a slight rubber-band snapping sensation. For your added comfort we offer a numbing cream that can be applied 30 minutes prior to your appointment.

Q: Will a doctor perform my treatment? 

A: Yes, all of our physicians are board certified and members of The American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS).
