Laser Hair Removal / PFB

Due to recent advances in technology, we can now offer laser-based hair reduction for all skin types and shades. Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB) is a skin condition characterized by bumps under the surface of the skin, often confused with acne. But the problem actually stems from ingrown hairs. It most often occurs in black and Hispanic people, due to the distinct shape of the hair follicle. Laser hair removal is an effective treatment for this.

Soprano
A virtually painless laser that emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth. Safe and effective for all skin types, even tanned skin.

Keloid Treatments

When skin is injured, fibrous tissue called scar tissue forms over the wound to repair and protect the injury. In some cases, extra scar tissue grows, forming smooth, hard growths called keloids. People with darker skin tones are more prone to keloids.  The most common locations are the earlobes, chest, back, and arms. Below are some of the treatment options we offer.

Exosomes
Exosomes are the regenerative building blocks of stem cells that heal, repair, stimulate, and restore cells and tissues. When injected, exosome trigger healing and cell stimulation.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Improves skin imperfections while addressing age spots, sun damage, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines and acne scaring – resurfacing the skin allows new cells to form, providing a smoother, more even tone and texture to the skin.
Microneedling radiofrequency
Microneedling RF employs the use of finely-tipped microneedles which are injected into the skin where the depth of penetration is customized to the patient depending on condition treated. At that depth, there is an immediate burst of radiofrequency energy which produces heat and stimulates tissue to regenerate, specifically collagen.
ProFractional
Unlike full field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area.
SRT
SRT treatments are performed in office a Dermatology Consultants by a Radiation Therapy (RTT). With a 99% cure rate and patient satisfaction, SRT is the ideal treatment to treat non-melanoma skin cancer without surgery.LEARN MORE
Steroid Injections
An injection of corticosteroid solution directly into a hypertrophic scar or keloid, can greatly help reduce its size. Steroids break the bonds between collagen fibers, which reduces the amount of scar tissue beneath the skin. Steroids also have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce swelling, redness, itching, or tenderness.

MOLE REMOVALS / BENIGN GROWTHS / SKIN TAGS/ DPN

It is common to see adults of color with multiple small hyperpigmented dots on the face that resemble raised dark brown or black freckles. These are called dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN). They are often referred to as moles, but in fact are non-cancerous seborrheic keratoses. While the bumps usually pop up on the face and neck, they can also appear on upper back or chest. DPN usually starts during adolescence but the bumps tend to grow bigger and increase in number as you age. Below are some of the treatment options we offer.

Cell FX
Patented ultrafast energy pulses treat benign lesions on the face, forehead, neck, back, hands and feet – sparing the surrounding non-cellular collagen to reduce risk of scaring.Learn More
Hyfrecator
A hyfrecator treatment is a minimally invasive, highly effective option for removing angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia, and DPN. After treatment, the lesions will crust and fall off. The overall healing time will last around two weeks.
Snip Removal

Subnovii

HYPOPIGMENTATION / VITILIGO / PITYRIASIS ALBA TREATMENTS

With hyperpigmentation, the skin either produces too much pigment or the pigment is deposited deep within the skin, resulting in dark spots. When color is lost, it’s called hypopigmentation, which results in light-colored patches. Vitiligo causes skin to become depigmented. The loss of color causes large, white patches to appear. Vitiligo occurs in up to 2% of the population but is most noticeable in those with dark skin.
