Laser Surgery
If you are thinking about going under the laser for skin tag removal, it's best to have a little information under your belt before talking to your doctor. There are a few laser procedures out there for different treatments.
Laser Procedures
The first laser procedure is Carbon Dioxide & Erbium Laser Resurfacing Ultrapulse Carbon Dioxide and Erbium: YAG resurfacing remain one of the most spectacular advances in cutaneous laser medicine in the last decade. When patients and their conditions are carefully selected and the procedure performed by experienced and knowledgeable physicians results can be truly remarkable.
Fraxel Laser Treatment
Want to turn back the clock on aging? Fraxel fractional resurfacing can help. There is new and exciting technology out there for sun damage, enlarged pores, wrinkles, skin discolorations, melasma, and acne scars. Fraxel is a unique approach to repairing aging and sun-damaged skin pixel by pixel, spot by spot.
Birthmarks
Approximately five percent of patients are born with one or more types skin discolorations commonly referred as birthmarks. Birthmarks maybe vascular in nature ranging from flat capillary hemangiomas or port wine stains to large raised vuascular growths or hemangiomas.
Laser Hair Removal
How does laser hair removal work?
At the present time four laser wavelengths are available for the treatment of unwanted body hair. In essence, these wavelengths target pigment granules in the hair (melanin) in an effort to destroy hair follicles. Hair follicles are capable of producing hairs of various thickness and colors. Dark hair contains the pigment melanin which serves as the target for energy at these wavelengths. Four wavelengths, 694nm. produced by the Ruby laser, 755nm. produced by the Alexandrite laser, 800nm. produced by the Diode laser, and 1064nm. produced by the Neodymium-YAG laser, have been shown to be effective in the removal of pigmented hair. The pulsed laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented hair shaft and transferred to the surrounding follicle. The heat build-up caused by the absorption of energy by the hair itself is capable of creating follicular damage and retard or prevent future hair production by that follicle.
How successful is the process of laser hair removal?
Don't pay attention to false and misleading claims by so called experts. Patients will achieve varying degrees of success. The application of these laser energies to the skin results in almost complete removal of all actively growing hairs. The number of hairs that are permanently removed as a result of one treatment can vary.
Part of the difficulty in eradication of unwanted or excess hair lies in the fact that the follicle has tremendous regenerative capabilities and that these recuperative powers are highly variable from individual to individual and from one anatomic site to another. In most instances multiple treatments are necessary in order to achieve permanent hair reduction and in some instances treatment may fail to permanently remove all the hair in a given anatomic site. In order to understand the process it is important to understand the biology of hair growth itself.
Hair growth cycles are divided into three phases. The anagen follicle or growing hair is the major target for laser energy and represents the most vulnerable phase of the hair growth cycle. Telogen or resting hairs are not actively growing and appear to be more resistant to the laser energy. The transitional phase between anagen and telogen phases known as the catagen phase is brief but also relatively resistant to laser removal.
Facial Blood Vessels
Results of our research involving pulsed green light lasers have been published* and provide the treatment parameters for use by physicians through out the world. Facial vessels can now be removed in a very effective fashion using this laser. Over 85% of facial blood vessels are removed in a single treatment with little or no cosmetic "downtime". After treatment patients may return to their normal activities without any significant cosmetic inconvenience.
Lasers for Leg Veins
Laser treatment of leg veins presents many challenges, however, our extensive experience and the ability to choose the best laser to treat each patient provides optimum improvement in most cases.
Laser Removal of Nevi (Moles) and Skin Tags
Laser treatment of nevi (moles) is a valuable alternative to traditional surgical excision procedures. Lasers are particularily valuable in treating lesions in anatomic areas which are difficult to approach surgically such as the face, nose lips and ears. In addition laser are quite useful for removing multiple benign facial growths during a single treatment session. Please call for your consultation to find out if your moles can be removed by means of lasers.
Y-Lite Wrinkle Treatment
Although our Carbon dioxide and Erbium lasers can provide spectacular results in the treatment of wrinkles and sun damaged skin many patients with mild aging changes seek less invasive procedures to avoid downtime. Our new IPL Photo facial treatment and pulsed yellow light (Y-lite) skin rejuvenation procedures can improve your skin with little or no downtime.
Wrinkles are caused by a host of factors including loss of collagen and elastin, sun damage, smoking, alcohol use and hormonal changes. Acne scars are seen as a result of inflammatory damage in the skin that results in a loss of collagen and elastin leading to local areas of skin depression and unevenness. Clinical research studies conducted at the Center for Laser Surgery have shown promising results using a new technique for non-ablative wrinkle and scar reduction.
IPL Photofacial Treatment
Remove red facial veins, red facial flushing, improve acne rosacea treat irregular pigmentation, and fine facial lines. Wrinkles are caused by a host of factors including loss of collagen and elastin, sun damage, smoking, alcohol use and hormonal changes. In addition, as we age fine facial blood vessels and irregular areas of hyperpigmentation often appear on facial and non-facial skin exposed to sun.
