Lasers for skin conditions and other lasers

Starlux
At Skin Specialists, we use various lasers, including the Starlux platform of laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) to help improve a variety of conditions ranging from wrinkles to leg veins and facial blood vessels to tattoos and brown spots. Additionally, this unique and useful light device has tremendous effects on sun damage to the face.

Wrinkles
Wrinkles are treated with a variety of lasers and other methods. While many people are swayed by an advertisement or procedure that they see on TV or hear about on the radio, Dr. Schlessinger approaches each patient as an individual.

Crafting a program for facial rejuvenation for each person is our clinic's goal and may involve one or many of the 15 lasers we own or may involve various fillers or Botox treatments. Luckily, Dr. Schlessinger is on the forefront of research into new treatments and lasers for wrinkles, so you can be assured that your treatment will be the latest and most effective.

Currently, we have many studies on various wrinkle therapies going on at our research facility, Advanced Skin Research Center. Many of the studies we have performed are already in popular use and Dr. Schlessinger can explain the benefits of these to you at the time of your consultation.

Facial Blood Vessels
The Starlux can be used for facial blood vessels and birthmarks and is one of the most powerful and versatile tools available for these treatments. Dr. Schlessinger has been using lasers since 1989 and is a pioneer of IPL treatments such as this for rosacea and other conditions, such as tattoos.

That doesn't mean that the only treatment you will receive is a laser, however. Since Dr. Schlessinger is a board certified dermatologist and an active researcher in this area, he uses any and all tools available for treatments and will recommend the best treatment possible for you.

Rosacea
Dr. Schlessinger was one of the first dermatologists in the nation to treat rosacea with IPL and has continued to be a leader in this field with papers he has authored on its use and treatment of this condition with cosmeceuticals and other medications. The Starlux is one way to treat this condition, but Dr. Schlessinger has over 15 lasers in the clinic and is first and foremost a dermatologist who excels in diagnostic skills to treat conditions where others have failed. You can trust him to treat this and other concerns and only use laser if it makes sense. If you are interested in scheduling a consultation, contact info@LovelySkin.com.

Birthmarks
Many birthmarks can be safely and effectively treated with lasers and intense pulsed light. While there are many that can't be treated, Dr. Schlessinger is an expert in this and can determine the best course of treatment. Remember, this is an area where just having a laser doesn't mean that it is wise to use it - that's where coming to an expert who is a leader in the field counts the most.

Leg Veins
Dr. Schlessinger has been treating leg veins for over 20 years and has experience with numerous lasers and light devices for these treatments. Additionally, Dr. Schlessinger is skilled at sclerotherapy, a technique for injecting troublesome veins in the legs with a solution of material that effectively closes off vessels. Since Dr. Schlessinger was trained as a pediatrician prior to being a dermatologist, he has incredible skills at getting into small blood vessels and his results are superior to others because of these skills. It is important to realize that laser, while a great advancement, isn't the entire solution to leg veins. At our clinic, we specialize in this type of condition and our results speak for themselves.

Brown Spots / Facial Sun Damage
After years in the sun, skin starts to age and brown spots appear. Laser and IPL can help this to improve. Additionally, skincare treatments such as Obagi can help this greatly. Dr. Schlessinger and his staff at Aesthetica DaySpa have many options ranging from laser treatments to various peels and microdermabrasion techniques. Additionally, Dr. Schlessinger is involved in research studies on this type of condition and always offers the latest in technology and advancements to his patients.

Tattoos
Tattoos are a concern of many people who may have outgrown them. At Skin Specialists, we have been treating unwanted tattoos since 1997 and have great results with many of them. Additionally, Dr. Schlessinger is ethical and is careful to let patients who may NOT have a good result on their tattoo know this prior to starting treatment.

It is always important to know when treatments may or may not succeed and pick the correct candidates. Dr. Schlessinger is very careful to make sure that his patients know when to expect results and how many treatments may be necessary. In this area in particular, treatments can vary greatly depending on the colors of the tattoo and the types of tattoo ink used.

Lastly, the laser used is very important. Dr. Schlessinger has three lasers that can be used for tattoos and this allows him to treat a variety of colors and tattoo patterns that might otherwise be impossible to treat.

Laser Hair Removal Dr. Schlessinger was one of the first dermatologists in the country to use lasers for hair removal and was involved in the first study of laser hair removal with the Epilyte laser. Since this time, lasers have improved even more with some of the research that our clinic has performed. One thing that hasn't changed, however, is the importance of seeking a clinic whose main goal is safety and efficacy. We are proud to have been performing laser hair removal since 1996 with a safety record unparalleled in this area. While most people now accept laser hair removal as safe, in the wrong hands it can be devastating. That's why it pays to come to an expert. Our clinic performs this procedure using the latest equipment and most up to date techniques. Dr. Schlessinger or his PA personally oversee each treatment and make sure that the settings are the most effective and safe. No other clinic or medspa in this area can claim the record of satisfaction that Skin Specialists has. If you are interested in scheduling a consultation, contact info@LovelySkin.com.
