Laser Procedures

With a full line of lasers, intense pulse light devices, plasma devices and light emitting diodes at Ageless Plastic Surgery, Dr. Rothaus and his staff can treat patients who desire improvement or correction in the following areas:


Wrinkles - The modern technology that can be employed for the improvement and reduction in the appearance of wrinkles include the:

• Lux 2940 - Erbium ablative fractional resurfacing.
• Lumenis Active and Deep Fx - CO2 Ablative fractional resurfacing.
• Portrait Skin resurfacing - plasma "Non-ablative" resurfacing device.
• Venus laser - Erbium ablative resurfacing laser.

Texture and Pigmentation - An increase in the appearance of small vessels on the face,  mottling of the skin with brown pigmentation or so-called “sun-spots”, and a loss of the smooth appearance of the skin with an increase in the size of the pores all contribute to the appearance of the aging face.  The use of light devices to improve and correct this appearance is known in various practices as a laser facial or photo facial.

• Gemini - A KTP and long-pulse 1064 laser that can treat spider veinsm rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and improve the texture of the skin as well.
• Lug G - An intense pulse light (IPL) device that can improve the skin by decreasing the appearance of vessels and brown sports.
• Lux 1540 - A nonablative fractional laser that will improve the texture and hyperpigmentation of the skin.
• Portrait Skin Resurfacing - Uses nitrogen plasma to improve skin texture and lighten brown spots.

Skin Tightening - Although surgical procedures such as face lifts remain the most reliable method for tightening of the skin, especially for patients with lots of skin laxity, the lasers and plasma resurfacing devices are capable of achieving tightening of the skin in many patients.  This is most often the case for patients who are just beginning develop a loosening of their skin.

Laser Lipolysis - This is a new and exciting technology incorporates the latest of laser technology with the surgical procedure of conventional liposuction.  Using 920, 975, 980 and 1320 nm laser fibers, liposuction can be performed under a local anesthesia with reduced bruising and downtime.  The lasers that can be used for laser lipolysis in our White Plains and Manhattan offices included the:

• SlimLipo
• SmoothLipo
• CoolLipo

Cellulite - Although no device can claim to entirely eliminate cellulite, clinical studies have found that the SmoothLipo laser using its proprietary combination (Photomology) of 650 nm and 915 nm wavelength light along with mechanical manipulation can in a series of 20 minute treatments significantly improve the appearance of cellulite in most instances

Laser Hair Removal - This is a modern way to effectively remove unwanted hair for long periods of time.  Modern laser technology targets the hair follicle while keeping the skin safe.  At our office we use the following state of the art devices for laser hair removal:

• Gemini Laser (1064nm)
  
• Alexandrite 300
  

Leg Veins and Endovenous Laser Treatment - Spider veins and varicose veins of the legs can now be treated using cutaneous (laser aimed directly on the skin) and endovenous (vessels treated with a fiber placed directly into the vein).
