The Laser
The laser works by light bouncing back and forth in between mirrors and lenses, increasing the strength with each cycle. When the beam of light is at the desired power it is released. The laser beam causes a carefully controlled burn that can be used for the following procedures.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
Also known as "laser peel," laser skin resurfacing usually takes less than 1½ hours (sometimes just a few minutes) depending on the size of the area being treated. The procedure uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser beam which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at controlled levels of penetration.
The procedure removes areas of damaged or wrinkled skin often caused by prolonged sun exposure. Laser resurfacing can minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and the eyes and is also effective in treating facial scars and skin areas with uneven pigmentation.

Laser Hair Removal - New York
Laser hair removal is a finely tuned sophisticated procedure done with the use of laser. This specific laser is designed to remove the growth center at the base of the hair follicle. The laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. Upon absorption, the laser energy is transformed into heat, which can disable the follicle.
The majority of the body parts are appropriate for the use of this laser. It is essentially a painless procedure, it can be performed in the office and does not require anesthesia. The laser is FDA approved and in general 3 laser treatments 4 weeks apart are required for complete removal of the hair in the region.

Laser Vein Removal
Spiders are those ugly, dark blue little veins that run up and down the legs resembling lines on a road map. Sometimes spiders group themselves into nasty little star burst patterns that pop out where they are least wanted! Sometimes they fan out along the outside of the thigh or the inner aspect of the lower leg. Often they gather around the ankles or behind the knees.
A special saline solution is injected or lasers are used to fade these veins. Facial veins are effectively managed with a laser.
