Treating sun damage, facial veins, skin smoothness and laxity, the 3T Laser works well for both the young and old. Whether you have a small amount of skin correction needed or more advanced aging and skin damage, the 3T Laser can be adjusted to suit your skin's needs. Look for this procedure on WAVE 3's Monday Makeover during February or call us for more information.

Yag Laser Facial

Using a focused beam of light, the Yag Laser Facial works by promoting new collagen growth while improving the overall texture of the skin. A series of treatments are usually recommended and done in our office with no downtime. The Yag Laser Facial can significantly reduce irregular pigmentation in the skin by diminishing broken capillaries and brown spots. Facial pores are also reduced improving skin texture. Anyone who has obvious sun damage to the skin can benefit from the Yag Laser Facial. For more information call the Salzman Institute of Cosmetic Surgery today and schedule a complimentary consultation with our registered nurse.


The Ultrasound Facial

Research has shown that topical antioxidants are extremely effective in preventing premature aging. The Ultrasound Facial uses sound waves to stimulate skin activity and increase absorption of topical applications such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E that are applied to your skin. Ultrasound Facials work for all ages and skin types. Call The Salzman Institute of Cosmetic Surgery and speak with Karen, our skincare specialist, to learn more.

Fotofacial with Levulan Treats Sun and Acne Damage

PDT (Photo-Dynamic Th erapy) treats sun damaged cells in your skin and is one of the most sought after treatments today. By applying alpha-levulenic acid to your skin we dramatically enhance the amount of correction that can be achieved. PDT treatments offer a much greater correction for those who have obvious sun damage or acne scarring than FotoFacials alone. A series of treatments may be recommended to achieve ideal results and skin protection is required to maintain results.
