At one time, laser technology was a science fiction fantasy. Today, lasers have become part of everyday life, from the grocery store checkout to the printer on your desk. Lasers have also enabled tremendous advances in medical treatment. Associates in Dermatology, with offices in
Westlake, Middleburg Heights, and Lorain, OH , embraces the tremendous patient benefits, with a full suite of laser, light, and energy therapies.
LASER is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. In simplified terms, that means light in a specific wavelength is concentrated into a fine beam. Various substances (such as fat and water), and pigments (like the red hemoglobin in the blood and the brown color of melanin) attract certain wavelengths. Absorption of that energy creates a controlled, therapeutic response in body tissues.
Treatment in this manner is generally noninvasive – skin is not pierced – and minimally traumatic. In many cases, anesthetic is not needed for laser procedures, and there is little discomfort afterward. Most importantly, the treatment effectively addresses a focused problem without harm to surrounding tissues.
Say goodbye to shaving, plucking and waxing and say hello to smooth, sleek and sexy. The best thing I think I have ever done is the laser hair removal. I had 5 treatments and I don’t have to shave anymore. Laser hair removal – today’s most common cosmetic procedure fast enough for large areas and comfortable enough for sensitive areas. Safe and effective for all skin types.
At Associates in Dermatology, there is no one-size-fits-all laser. Our facility is equipped with, and our staff is trained in, a variety of instruments to provide leading-edge services:
