NLite Laser Collagen Replenishment

Dr. Patel remains committed to implementing the latest in laser technology and has had special interest in the NLite Laser since she began working with the co-inventors in 1997. Currently, she conducts NLite studies in the areas of wrinkle reduction and acne scarring. Specifically designed to target the microvessels in the upper layers of the skin, this laser stimulates an increase in collagen production. This acts as a natural filler agent toward improving the appearance of wrinkles and depressed acne scars. NLite treatment are painless and require no downtime. Most importantly, the laser does not damage the surface of the skin; thus, the patient can return to work immediately following a treatment. The NLite laser treatment offers an excellent alternative to other invasive procedures for the improvement of wrinkles on the face and neck, acne scarring and stretch marks.

Hair reduction can be successful on the face, chest back, arms, bikini, buttocks and legs of both men and women. Laser hair removal can also be helpful for problems with ingrowns and folliculitis.

Laser Surgery

State-of-the-art technology of CO2 and Erbium: YAG lasers are used for laser resurfacing fine and deep wrinkles. The Erbium: YAG laser is excellent for those looking for a more rejuvenated appearance. This laser also reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves blotchy pigmentation, and sun damage, and sculpts acne scars. The Erbium laser causes minimal postoperative redness and healing time is significantly reduced to 5 to 7 days in most cases. The CO2 laser is used to treat more extensive photodamage and deep wrinkles. Patients often have a more dramatic improvement due to the shrinkage of damaged collagen and elastic tissue. Healing time is usually between 10 to 14 days. CO2 and Erbium:YAG lasers can be used in combination for a deeper result and reduced healing time.
