As a board-certified dermatologist, I have been treating skin diseases for over 30 years. But did you know that most of that time I and my staff have also been at the forefront of cosmetic surgery? Because of the intimate relationship between our skin and our appearance, this marriage of dermatology and cosmetic surgery is the perfect partnership. Let us help you lose years from your face, inches from your figure and feel better about yourself in the process.

Laser Hair Removal

The Cutera CoolGlide Laser is an FDA approved device to permanently remove hair from the face and body. Because it only targets the hair and not the skin, it is fast and safe. All skin shades and skin types may be treated with this hair removal procedure.
Patients with light hair may only see moderate improvement with multiple treatments. White hair does not respond at all. Therefore, results are greatest when the hair has lots of pigment, as the laser energy uses the pigment as a magnet to destroy the hair root.

Only actively growing hairs respond to treatment. Thus, at any time, a significant proportion of our hair is in a resting stage. Three to 5 treatments at 6 week intervals are recommended for optimal results.
