Photo Rejuvenation of Skin

For fresher, younger-looking skin.

Imagine the thrill of looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing your face like it was 10 years ago. Or how great it would feel to never worry about your wrinkles, laugh lines and crow's feet again. As your body ages, the effects of the sun, pollution, smoking, alcohol and stress take their toll. Then with a decrease in collagen produced within the skin, you'll start seeing those lines turn into deeper wrinkles. At the same time your skin looses its elasticity and firmness causing it to sag. Most cosmetics or traditional moisturizers only treat the symptoms of aging skin. You may see a temporary fix but none of them can actually renew your skin's youthful glow. That's because the way to erase wrinkles and lines is to smooth the skin and tighten it at the same time.... just what lasers can do for you.

Permanent Hair Removal

The uniqueness of our procedure consists in the fact that it allows us to achieve us surprising results no matter what type and condition and skin you have. Pulsed light is selectively absorbed by the pigments of your hair, conducting the energy into the hair follicles, killing them forever. After each treatment hair do not grow for several months. 3 to 7 sessions are required to achieve good results. After each treatment the hairsprings become thinner and less frequent. Subsequently, periodic sessions will monitor and control your hair growth. Procedure is completely painless and takes only a few minutes. Also, it causes no visible skin changes. If you want to get rid of undesirable hair forever, call our office for free consultation and sample test.

Elimination of Spider and Varicose Veins

A small beam of light makes the difference. Spider veins are thin, reddish purple veins that are visible on the legs. They are usually clustered on the thigh or below the knee. Spider veins, or telangiecstasias, affect as many as 80% of all woman as they grow older, and also affect a large percentage of men. This is generic for the most part, although other causes are pregnancy, childbirth, use of birth-control pills, estrogen replacement therapy, previous injury, and the use of corticosteroids. Spider veins are usually not a medical problem, but they may cause embarrassment and the reluctance to wear shorts or swimming suits. In years past, there was very little that could be done to remove spider veins. Now, with the use of laser, Sheepshead Bay Laser Center can virtually erase the problem. Leg telangiecstasias are not varicose veins or deep veins. They are superficial veins that have become permanently dilated. One treatment is electrodessication, which involves forcing the vein shut with electrical current. Another treatment called sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the vein to force it to close.

At Sheepshead Bay Laser Center, the laser is used to erase spider veins. This laser has been specially designed to treat spider veins and other vascular lesions. If you, a family member, or a friend is suffering from the embarrassment of spider veins, give us a call.

Microdermabrasion

What it is:

Microdermabrasion (also known as particle resurfacing and by other names, including Power Peels, Derma Peels and Parisian Peels) is a skin polishing technique, performed successfully in our office. The operator uses a handheld device that blasts fine particles of sand like crystals (aluminum oxide or soda) against the client's skin and vacuums away the used crystals, dirt and dead surface skin. Microdermabrasion is also called a "lunchtime peel", because it takes only 20-30 min. for a full-face treatment. This procedure can also be used on the neck and chest. The patient can then return to work with only mild skin redness, which can be covered up right away with makeup. The redness will fade on its own after an hour or two. This procedure is not painful (patients feel a slight tingling as it being done), requires no anesthesia and will not adversely lighten or darken African American skin, as some exfoliating treatments do. The treatment leaves the skin with a healthy glow. To achieve optimal benefits, 5 to 10 treatments, every 7 to 10 days, are needed; most patients see improvements after the fourth or the fifth session. After the initial series, periodic maintenance treatments (from once a month to once every 3 months, as needed) are often recommended.

Botox and Dysport Injections

Sheepshead Bay Laser Center is pleased to offer neurotoxins injections/treatment (BOTOX and Dysport) for the reduction and elimination of facial creases, lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.

WHAT ARE Neurotoxins? Botox and dysport are made from bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Although it s the chemical that causes botulism, in very dilute quantities it has been used medically for over decades to provide relief from muscle spasms by causing a temporary paralysis of the muscles into which it is injected. There is no reported risk of botulism using this very dilutes concentration of the chemical.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? The muscles of facial expression are connected to the skin overlying them. After years of use, the muscles create visible lines and creases. By paralyzing the superficial muscles attached to the skin, wrinkles "relax" and soften. When the muscles are paralyzed, the creation of more wrinkles is prevented. The overall effect is a smoother, more serene, more youthful appearance. It is like having a "brow lift" without invasive surgery.

IS IT SAFE? BOTOX and Dysport injections have been widely used for cosmetic purposes for decades, and have been enthusiastically endorsed by those who have used it. It is impossible to get botulism poisoning from BOTOX and Dysport injections.

WHAT WRINKLES CAN BE TREATED? The most commonly treated areas are the forehead, around the eyes and between the eyebrows. With BOTOX and Dysport injections, Crow's feet can be softened; the furrow between the brows can be diminished and forehead wrinkles can be lessened.

CAN I STILL MOVE MY FACE? Yes, but not as much. Extreme movements of the forehead and eyebrows, which create the wrinkles, will be prevented, but other muscles in the face will not be affected by BOTOX and Dysport injections.

HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE? A very small amount of the diluted drug is injected directly into the muscle in the desired treatment area. The procedure is very quick. It is important to remain in an upright position for two to three hours after the treatment so the BOTOX and Dysport will remain in place in the treated area.

DOES THE BOTOX INJECTIONS HURT? Individuals vary in their response. Some people experience stinging while BOTOX or Dysport are being injected, but there is rarely any pain following treatment. The application of ice packs to the area before treatment will decrease the discomfort associated with the injections.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS FROM THE BOTOX INJECTIONS LAST? Again, with BOTOX and Dysport injections, individuals vary. However, for most people the results last 3 to 6 months. Facial muscles that are larger or which are used a lot by facially "expressive" patients may require treatments more frequently. Often the facial muscles become trained to not move as much so that, over time, less BOTOX and Dysport are needed to keep the facial lines reduced.

WHAT ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS? Since the effects of BOTOX and Dysport injections are not permanent, significant side effects are rare. Bruising or redness at the injection sites can occur, and headaches are not uncommon. If the BOTOX migrates too close to the eyelid, a temporary droping of the upper lid can occur, but this is extremely rare.

BOTOX INJECTIONS: PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS - Avoid aspirin, aspirin-contained products and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents for 10 days prior to treatment. Avoid alcohol for one week prior to treatment.

BOTOX INJECTIONS: POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS - Remain in an upright position for 2 to 3 hrs after the treatment; avoid alcohol, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents for at least 2 days. Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. Tylenol can be used for any lingering discomfort.

Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing

StarLux Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing offers both superior results and little to no downtime. The Lux1540 fractional microbeams penetrate deep into the epidermis and dermis for effective, long-term results. The fractional, non-ablative approach stimulates quick healing with no long term redness. StarLux treatments can be performed on most areas of the body, including the face, chest, arms and hands. A series of treatments at 3-6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired results. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.

CO2 ablative laser resurfacing has been the Gold Standard for non surgical facial rejuvenation and removal of facial skin wrinkles and photo aging since 1995. CO2 ablative laser resurfacing using the Ultrapulse CO2 laser can achieve very significant facial rejuvenation including wrinkle removal, skin tightening and removal of pigment and photo aging skin changes. (See Photo Below Before and After Ablative CO2 Laser Resurfacing).

However CO2 laser resurfacing has several limitations including a prolonged and difficult recovery period, often lasting three weeks, prolonged facial redness that can last three months, hypo pigmentation or lightening of skin color, and the potential for infection which can lead to scarring.

During the past three years new technology called fractional laser resurfacing has been developed which has dramatically shortened recovery time and lessened the occurrence of complications.
With fractional laser resurfacing the laser beam is broken up or fractionated into many small micro beams which are separated so that when they strike the skin surface small areas of the skin between the beams are not hit by the laser and left intact. These small areas of untreated skin promote a much more rapid recovery and healing with less risk of complications. The small areas treated by the fractional micro beams, called micro treatment zones, cause sufficient laser injury to promote new collagen production and resultant facial skin rejuvenation. ( See Diagram Below)

In the above skin diagram, the first red area on the left represents traditional non fractional ablative CO2 and Erbium laser resurfacing. To ablate means to surgically remove and the skin tissue is removed by the heat of the CO2 or Erbium laser. Since these lasers were not fractional, all of the skin in the treated area is removed creating an open wound that takes a long time to heal.

Jetpeel Skin Rejuvenation

It is all natural, virtually painless, skin treatment procedure that dramatically improves the appearance and texture of your skin in a rapid manner and provides a discernible enhancement to the recipient from the very first JetPeel treatment session. The unique procedure works simultaneously on five different levels at once. Each JetPeel treatment will gently "pressure wash" your skin utilizing water, oxygen and other optional medical gases, delivered at supersonic speed. This gentle cleansing unclogs pores and removes debris that has naturally built-up in the skin over the years. In addition, each treatment session provides micro-circulation to the treated area. Your skin will appear more vibrant, smooth and youthful.

JetPeel treatments are most commonly performed on the face, neck and decollete areas. However, they can be easily administered to any body area that requires smoothing, deep cleansing and hydration, such as the hands, feet, chest, back and even elbows. JetPeel exfoliates your skin by comfortably and effectively removing layers of dead skin that adversely impact your skin's natural luster. JetPeel hydrates your skin through a gentle, moisturizing jet stream that cools and conforms your skin.

Fractional Ablative Skin Resurfacing

Ablative Fractional resurfacing is a treatment for fine and deep wrinkles, scar revision and superficial skin lesions. Primarily used for the correction of moderate to deep wrinkles, this laser delivers microfractional columns of laser light to the top layers of the skin. When compared to traditional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing, this laser produced similar results with much less downtime and produced impressive changes in skin texture, removal of wrinkles, dark (sun) spots, and abnormal skin coloration.
How does it work? This treatment works by creating thousands of microscopic areas where the top layer of the skin is ablated (removed). Much like aerating the lawn on a golf course, these tiny areas of damage are surrounded by untreated skin, which allows for very fast recovery times. Traditional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing can take three weeks on average to heal and present the risk of persistent redness, lines of demarcation between treated and untreated areas and a higher risk of scarring. Ablative fractional resurfacing produces essentially the same result with an average of 4-6 days of downtime and the use of local anesthesia only. Areas that can be treated include the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, specific scars and certain types of benign skin lesions.
