LASER Treatments:
What Is A Laser?
Laser stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers work by producing an intense beam of bright light that travels in one direction. The laser beam can cut, seal, or vaporize skin tissue and blood vessels. The laser has the unique ability to produce one specific color (wavelength) of light that can be varied in its intensity and pulse duration. Ordinary light from non-laser sources is composed
Aerolase NeoSkin
The Aerolase Neo is an aesthetic medical laser that provides a premium patient experience unrivaled in dermatology and aesthetics. Aerolase Neo laser skin rejuvenation is a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for all skin types and tones. This uniquely gentle option offers complete skin revitalization.
The Neo’s unique 650-microsecond technology is attracted to a combination of melanin, hemoglobin, and water in the skin tissue – which contribute to your skin’s signs of aging. The Neo’s energy passes through the skin to selectively heat these targets without adverse effects – resulting in clear, healthy skin. The 650-microsecond pulse eliminates discomfort during treatment and provides safe, highly efficacious results for even the darkest skin tones.
Laser And Intense Pulsed Light Applications (IPL)
What Is A Laser?
Laser stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers work by producing an intense beam of bright light that travels in one direction. The laser beam can cut, seal or vaporize skin tissue and blood vessels. The laser has the unique ability to produce one specific color (wavelength) of light that can be varied in its intensity and pulse duration. Ordinary light from non-laser sources is composed of many different colors and appears white. This broad spectrum of light can also be pulsed to a specific duration and varied in intensity as well as the exact range of wavelengths. This allows broad spectrum Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) the ability to specifically treat blood vessels and pigmentation. The wavelength and power output of a particular laser or IPL typically determines its medical application. When the laser or IPL light is directed at skin tissue, its light energy is absorbed by water or pigments found in the skin. Water is found in large amounts in all living cells. Pigments of the skin include hemoglobin, a protein that makes blood red, and melanin, the tan or brown-colored pigment. All three targets absorb laser light of different colors.
What Are The Benefits Of Laser And/Or IPL Treatment?
Lasers may offer the following general benefits:
What Type Of Laser Or IPL Should Be Used?
Different types of lasers and IPL are used to treat a variety of skin conditions, birthmarks and growths and cosmetic complaints. Presently, no single laser or IPL is capable of treating all skin conditions, but certain lasers can be tuned to a variety of colors of light or coupled to a robotized scanning device to expand their clinical effectiveness. Your dermasurgeon will carefully evaluate your individual condition and suggest the appropriate type of laser and/or IPL system to achieve the best results.
Who Is Qualified To Perform Laser And/Or IPL Surgery?
Experts in skin care, Medical Physicians and Physician Extenders like Physician Assistants have extensive training and experience with laser treatments.
LED
The LED emits a red light/blue light and is capable of treating certain acne and irritated facial skin. This gentle, non-invasive treatment is effective in treating acne and irritated facial skin. The results can last for months and sometimes permanently. This is particularly useful in the treatment of dark-skinned patients. Or in patients who desire expedited results.
Hair Removal and Leg Veins
Laser technology is presently being utilized for efficient and long-lasting body hair removal. The laser energy causes thermal injury to the hair follicle, stunting hair growth. Laser hair-removal systems are being used successfully with long-lasting results.

What Are The Benefits Of Laser And/Or IPL Treatment?
Lasers may offer the following general benefits:
- Improved therapeutic results
- Reduced risk of infection
- "Bloodless" surgery with most lasers
- An alternative to traditional scalpel surgery, in some cases
- Less scarring, in most cases
- Precisely controlled surgery, which limits injury to normal skin
- Safe and effective outpatient, same-day surgery for many skin conditions
