Photoderm

Restore your beautiful skin.
Unsightly birthmarks, spider veins on the face and legs, age spots, sun spots, freckles, and unsightly excess hair affect millions of people.
While these may not be medical problems, many patients would like to be rid of these unattractive distractions to their natural beauty.
Our advanced PhotoDerm technology allows us to safely, easily, and effectively treat many benign pigmented and vascular skin lesions painlessly on an out-patient basis.

What are vascular and pigmented lesions?

Skin blemishes due to abnormal blood vessels located directly under your skin's surface that give the skin a red color are called vascular lesions. Pigmented lesions are caused by a proliferation of melanocytes in the skin. Melanocytes contain the cells that manufacture melanin, which is the dark pigment in skin.

Can PhotoDerm remove unwanted hair?

Yes. PhotoDerm can remove unwanted hair from any part of your body. The pigment in your hair's follicle absorbs the light energy from the PhotoDerm. This destroys the follicle so that it cannot grow. However, your hair grows in cycles, and only the hair that is visible can be treated. As a result, multiple treatments will be required for optimal results. Our patients love PhotoDerm because once a follicle is destroyed, it will never grow again!

How does PhotoDerm work?

PhotoDerm is a non-invasive medical system that uses intense pulsed-light therapy to reduce melanin, the dark pigment in your skin.

The light energy is gently delivered to your skin in pulses, through a delicate, computer-controlled handpiece. After your PhotoDerm treatment, the treated vein, lesion or hair will gradually fade and slowly disappear.

Are PhotoDerm treatments safe?

Yes. PhotoDerm systems have been used successfully in hundreds of thousands of treatments. PhotoDerm allows your doctor to customize each treatment to your specific skin type and condition being treated. This flexible interactive approach to treatment cannot be reached using any other non-invasive treatment currently available.

Do PhotoDerm treatments hurt?

Some patients say they feel a slight sting, like the snap of a rubber band on the skin, followed by the feeling of sunburn. However, anesthetics are not necessary.

There are several benefits to PhotoDerm treatments:
