Laser Skin Care:
NEW!
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
We recently took delivery of a new laser that is used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, skin texture, acne scars and sun damage. This new laser, called the Matrix Fractional CO2 laser, is the most advanced version of its type. Unavailable until this past Spring, it is capable of deeper treatments than its predecessors. Not only is the Matrix used for the face, it can also be used on other areas of the body as well. Compared to procedures we were performing just a few years ago, downtimes are shorter and recovery is safer and easier.
The Matrix CO2 technology is designed in such a way that we have precise control over the intensity of the treatment. Each individual treatment can be tailored to a specific need and allotted downtime. And the Matrix Fractional CO2 treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Dark Circles and Eye Wrinkles
A variety of lasers and fillers can offer dramatic improvement. We are one
of the few laser centers to offer partial face laser peels to tighten the
skin and improve the color.
Sun and Brown Spots
Dr. Rosenbach has authored several medical journal articles showing that
the alexandrite laser reduces sunspots. Treatments are now faster and
easier than ever before. Several short treatments are required to remove
the spots.
Cold Resurfacing for the Later Stages of Aging
A major advance in resurfacing has revolutionized this procedure that
is used for sun- weathered skin and deep wrinkles. We employ a device
that cools the skin during the laser procedure. Medical publications have
shown that cooling allows for increased comfort and a more rapid recovery.
Acne
Combining prescription medications with lasers can offer considerable
relief of this chronic condition. We also offer pulsed-dye laser activation
of Levulan®, which combines a topical sensitizer and lasers. This
treatment is an excellent alternative for patients who do not wish to
take systemic medications. The sun must be avoided for 24 hours following
each session. Most patients see dramatic improvement over the five brief
treatments.
Acne Scars
Dr. Rosenbach designs individualized treatments depending on the appearance
of the scars. He combines his own serial filler technique in combination
with laser treatments to significantly improve acne scars.
Roscea
This persistent condition can be improved using a combination of lasers,
prescription medications and natural topicals.
Tattoo Removal
We were one of the first laser centers in the world to offer the Revlite®
laser, which represents a significant advance over its predecessors. Dr.
Rosenbach combines this device with another that cools the skin. He is
the first physician to lecture about cold air cooling in combination with
laser treatment of tattoos, which offers increased safety to the skin
surface and effectively removes unwanted tattoos.
Scars and Stretch Marks
The Revlite®, V-Star® and Acclaim 7000® are used for treatment
of existing scars and stretch marks. Dr. Rosenbach tailors a regimen depending
upon the color, texture, and age of the areas to be treated. Patients
can now be treated preventively to minimize the size of the scars caused
by surgical incisions. The lasers spare the skin surface and result in
temporary discoloration that can last for about one week.
