Laser therapies have changed the way we handle a number of dermatologic concerns. In our Fort Washington and Lansdale offices, patients may receive laser hair removal and laser treatment for facial redness by experienced practitioners.
Laser hair removal eliminates unwanted hair with ultra-fast pulses of laser light. Much different from electrolysis, which treats follicles individually, laser hair removal affects a great many follicles simultaneously, destroying the hair inside. The entire process is not only much faster, but also more comfortable.
Due to the nature of hair growth, lasting results from laser hair removal are obtained through a series of treatments, each session strategically scheduled to target actively growing hair. To learn more about laser hair removal using safe, efficient 1064 Nd:yag laser technology, contact our Fort Washington or Lansdale office.
Laser treatments with our KTP laser are completed in a short office visit and they require no downtime for recovery. To address facial redness safely and comfortably, contact our Fort Washington or Lansdale dermatology office.

Laser treatment for facial redness
Facial redness may result from rosacea, visible blood vessels, or other factors. Due to the difficulty in hiding redness with cosmetics, this problem can take a toll on a person's sense of confidence. Historically, there were very few options for treating facial redness. Today, patients of the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute can benefit greatly from a customized treatment plan including our KTP laser.Rosacea
There are various types of rosacea, each of which may produce different symptoms. A common effect most people with rosacea experience, however, is facial redness. In combination with other therapies, laser treatment can have an immense impact on minimizing the appearance of rosacea symptoms. In addition to providing safe, effective laser treatment for rosacea, our physicians work with patients to identify triggers as a way of preventing future flare-ups.Facial blood vessels
Tiny vessels on the face called telangiectasias may be particularly visible on individuals with fair skin or extensive sun damage. These tiny vessels, which may have become enlarged or damaged, tend to respond quite well to laser treatment.The KTP laser
The green-light KTP laser selectively targets irregularities in the skin, specifically red and brown spots. KTP is easily absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, making it ideal for the treatment of facial redness. As energy is absorbed by the blood, coagulation occurs in the vessels just below the surface, leading to their collapse. Collapsed blood vessels gradually fade over time, revealing healthier, more attractive skin.Laser treatments with our KTP laser are completed in a short office visit and they require no downtime for recovery.
