FAQs

How does laser skin rejuvenation work?
Collagen provides the support network to our skin. As we age, the collagen breaks down contributing to the formation of lines and wrinkles. The Medlite C6 laser works by stimulating new collagen production. As the new collagen is generated, lines and wrinkles are decreased. Additionally, years of sun exposure can cause discoloration, large pores, and pigmented or red areas on the skin. Patients report, and studies have confirmed that this procedure achieves a more refreshed appearance, smoother skin texture, an even skin tone, and a decrease in pore size. Even those with difficult acne scarring will also notice a marked improvement.

Why should I choose this procedure?
Because the action of laser skin rejuvenation is non ablative (does not remove any skin tissue) there are many benefits over other traditional laser procedures. The laser treatment is quick and offers no downtime - you can immediately return to your normal activities. There is minimal discomfort, and a very low risk of any complications. Patients will experience progressive improvement over several months for a fresh, natural look. Laser skin rejuvenation is compatible with a whole host of other cosmetic procedures so that maximum results can be achieved.

Is the procedure safe?
The Medlite C6 laser used for skin rejuvenation is one of the safest lasers on the market today. In the hands of trained medical professionals, the Medlite laser offers a safe and effective treatment with very little risk of complications. Patients of all skin types can be safely treated - including tanned skin.

What body areas can be treated?
The laser can be used to rejuvenate many body areas inaddtion to the face. People also treat the hands, neck and chest.

How many treatments will I need?
Laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process. Usually patients need 4-6 treatments spaced at 3-5 weeks apart. Many patients choose to return for touch-up treatments after the initial treatment session ends.

What does the procedure feel like?
Laser skin rejuvenation is not painful. Many describe the feeling as a tingling sensation. Anesthesia is usually not necessary, but you may request a topical cream depending on your own experience.

What can I expect after the treatment?
This procedure eliminates the recovery associated with other ablative laser skin resurfacing treatments. Laser skin rejuvenation does not remove any surface skin or cause any visible effect beyond a mild to moderate redness, which usually fades within an hour after treatment. No specific care is needed after treatment, you may be asked to avoid sun and some skin products for a period of time after the treatment. It is important follow to you physician's instructions exactly.

Age Spots and Sun Damage

Dr. Ores is proud to use the Medlite C6 laser, one of the most technologically advanced lasers for removing age spots, sun spots, birthmarks, freckles and other skin discolorations. Melanin is what gives our skin its color. The amount of melanin in your skin determines if you have a light or dark complexion. Most skin spots are dark in color simply because the melanin is abnormally concentrated in one area. High concentrations of melanin can be due to various factors. Some types are present at birth, but most occur with age, or as a result of overexposure to the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.

The Medlite C6 laser is specifically designed to effectively target the dark concentrations of melanin while leaving your normal skin's pigmentation unaffected. The unwanted pigment is destroyed after absorbing the laser light. It is not a painful procedure - the impact of the energy from the light pulses is similar to the snap of a thin rubber band. After the treatment, the area will feel similar to light sunburn. Typically any discomfort will disappear within a day or so. Usually one or two treatments are all that is required.



Tiny Blood Vessel Spots

For years, Spider Vein Treatment spots consisted of one option: sclerotherapy, which involves injecting the veins with a chemical solution. Now we can treat small spider veins using a laser. The laser is applied to the skin over your spider veins. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. Usually there is no need for anesthesia; you will experience a feeling similar to a small rubber band snapping against your skin.

Over two to six weeks, your spider veins usually fade. After each treatment, you will see a 70% to 80% improvement in the appearance of face spider veins and 30-40% improvement in leg spider veins. An average of three treatments will be required at three-month intervals.

Unfortunately, laser therapy is not effective for larger spider veins. If you have a combination of large and small spider veins, you should consider sclerotherapy or surgical vein stripping for the larger ones first, followed later by laser treatment for the smaller ones.

However, laser therapy of facial spider veins is the treatment of choice. http://www.conbio.com/medical/pdf/medlite_patient_pigments.pdf

Laser treatment may cause minor bruising, which usually improves within a week, but often, recovery is immediate. Right after treatment, you may apply makeup and will be presentable.

Call our specialists for an evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for Laser Spider Vein Treatment. We offer free consultations in the greater New York metro area.

Aftercare Instructions Age Spots, Sun Damage & Tiny Blood Vessel Spots
Usually, an antibacterial ointment and a dress will be applied to the area immediately after treatment. The treated area should be kept clean with a continued application of any ointment given to you by your physician. A shower can be taken the next day, although the treated area should not be scrubbed.
