Fractional CO2

Dermal Optical Thermolysis (DOT) Therapy is an advanced, FDA-approved laser procedure performed to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots, sun damage, scarring and more. During DOT Therapy, the skin is tightened and collagen production is stimulated, allowing for a fuller, more youthful appearance as the skin is plumped and unwanted blemishes are significantly reduced.

This procedure is unlike any other laser resurfacing treatment, as it allows for precisely targeted treatment areas to produce significant improvements to the appearance and texture of the skin. This is done with a CO2 fractional laser that treats the skin through a customized pattern of dots, instead of treating the entire skin, which reduces damage to surrounding tissue and allows for deeper penetration of the skin.

DOT Therapy is effective in:

• Reversing the effects of aging
• Improving texture, tone and firmness of the skin
• Smoothing wrinkles and fine lines
• Reducing the appearance of acne and other scars
• Providing an overall younger, more refreshed appearance.

Facial Rejuvenation

Over time, our skin changes as a result of aging, sun damage and several other factors, causing wrinkles, pigmentation and scarring to develop on our faces. Many patients unhappy with these changes seek cosmetic treatments to restore their appearance and maintain a beautiful, youthful and fresh face. These nonsurgical treatments safely and effectively enhance the appearance of the skin while still allowing patients to look like themselves.

While aging and sun damage are the most common causes of unwanted skin changes, certain conditions can also negatively affect the appearance of the skin, such as:

• Pollution
• Poor diet
• Lack of exercise
• Smoking
• Hormonal changes
• Medical conditions such as acne and rosacea
• Genetics

There are several different treatments available to help reverse or improve facial changes and allow patients to restore a refreshed, younger-looking appearance that reflects the way they feel about themselves. Many patients choose to combine one or more rejuvenation options, or to combine their treatment with plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift or brow lift to maximize results.

Your doctor will recommend the most effective treatment option(s) for you after a thorough evaluation of your skin, your medical history and your goals for treatment. Choosing an experienced doctor that you trust to perform your treatments is an important factor in achieving your desired results.

Laser Hair Removal

Hair removal is a constant worry for many men and women alike. For patients who are sick of the hassle associated with shaving, waxing and other temporary hair removal techniques, laser hair removal may be the solution for you. Laser hair removal exposes specific areas of the body to beams of laser light that disable active hair follicles and delay or prevent re-growth.

Laser hair removal is ideal for patients with dark hair and light skin, although nearly anyone with unwanted facial or body hair can benefit from this procedure. This procedure can be performed on the lip, chin, neck, back, arms, legs, bikini area and more.

After laser hair removal, patients may experience redness, puffiness and sunburn sensations for the first few days. You may return to work and other regular activities as soon as you feel comfortable. Three to seven days after treatment, patients may notice what appears to be a re-growth of hair, but is actually a shedding of the treated hair, which will fall out and not grow back.

Since hairs grow at different times, multiple treatments will be needed for all patients at intervals of four to six weeks. The number of sessions depends on several factors, including your hair and skin color, hormone levels, and hair follicle size. The average patient sees up to a 48% reduction in hair growth after three treatments, and up to 80% after six to eight treatments.
