Welcome Our Newest Laser Treatment!!


Welcome Our Newest Laser Treatment!!
It's here ! Finally we have the new state of the art 1064 NDYag laser that is suitable for all skin types. Please call the office to schedule your appointment for a consultation. We can do some new things , that we weren't able to do before.
Now we are able to offer laser treatment for fungal infections involving the finger and toenails.  We can offer some older treatments in a gentler fashion such as permanent reduction of unwanted hair. Even if you have had this treatment before, come in and see how this new technology can give you better results.
I have seen some amazing results when the laser skin rejuvenation is combined with fillers ( sculptra, radiesse, belotero, or restylane)  and neurotoxins ( botox or xeomin)
The LightPod Neo is frequently used in combination with injectables. Unlike other lasers which are harsh on the skin, the Neo is so gentle that we  can combine laser treatment and toxin or filler injections in a single office visit. This saves a significant amount of time and avoids scheduling hassles for you. Furthermore, clinical research has shown that, by preheating the skin prior to making the injections with the Neo, there is a noticeable reduction in the pain, bruising and swelling typically caused by the injections. To learn more about combining the LightPod Neo laser with toxin and filler injections, call us and schedule your consultation appointment!

Things We Wish You Would Tell Us

In my busy dermatology practice, I am reminded of the things that make a doctor-patient interaction successful. It always helps when the patient is "easy to read", meaning there are no secrets about what is needed.  Maybe the person sitting across from me is pretty sure that they know what is wrong, but they need confirmation of their ideas.  I think  we doctors would do well to listen more.

If only patients told us the things we really need to know, early in the conversation.  What do you REALLY want to know? Are you happy with the skin care advice you get from the Macy's counter and you would rather focus on why your hair is coming out?    Do you feel like the diagnosis that you got from your last doctor HAD to be wrong because the problem came back? If I give you a "good answer" but its not the question you are asking, then I haven't done a good job.  Dear Patient, try to tell us what you need  so we can give you the information you really want!
