Q: What is the advanced use of Cold laser technology?
Cold lasers known technically as low level laser therapy (LLT) have been shown to accelerate the bodies healing processes, and reduce the discomfort associated with surgical procedures in over 30% of patients. Low energy lasers have been used safely in medicine to promote healing and reduce pain for over 20 years. The low power laser uses a very specific light energy, which stimulates the factors in human tissue responsible for healing. The more rapid the healing process the better the final result; the quicker you return to your normal lifestyle, and the pain associated is therefore also reduced proportionally. Their healing virtues are now being expanded into the field of cosmetic surgery.
Low level lasers are not felt by the patient because the energy is just enough to stimulate the body’s cellular processes without hurting; this stimulation takes place at the microscopic level. The painless laser is applied before, immediately after and the day following a surgical procedure. In our aesthetic practice we are pioneering and expanding the use of this exciting technology.
This is very effective in cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, body contouring, and it is especially effective in any procedure involving liposuction. The fat is removed more gently and there is less bruising and post-operative swelling. The risk factors associated with these procedures while quite minimal to begin with, are minimized even further.
Low level laser treatments are not added to the surgical cost, actually the increased safety, quick return to work, and improved results can be viewed as reducing the overall costs at every level.
If you are considering a cosmetic surgical al procedure, you need to know more about this sophisticated technology.

Hot Topic!
DR. MAURO C. ROMITA
Q. What is the best procedure to reduce or remove stretch marks?
A: The only way to truly get rid of stretch marks is to surgically remove the skin areas which have them, this means a tummy tuck or thigh lift, while very effective they do leave scars. Outside these surgical areas however, they can be improved significantly but never totally eliminated.
Pink stretch marks in light skinned individuals respond very well to visible light laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, the color disappearing in four to six comfortable sessions.
Light stretch marks can be effectively treated with invisible light lasers such as carbon dioxide. These create new collagen, filling in the stretch mark and shrinking it simultaneously they also uniform the surrounding skin surface.
These above two modalities can be done in sequence and have very long-term effects, making them quite cost effective. Darker skinned individuals require much lower power settings and pre treatment with lightening creams.
Topical stretch mark creams have minimal effect, the most worth while are those containing growth factors such as Nouricel™ and pentapeptides to increase collagen production. Likewise, microdermabrasion is of some benefit depending on the intensity, and is usually less expensive than the laser treatments. There are no miracles in stretch mark therapy, avoid quick fixes and consult a reputable plastic surgeon.

Aluma
Radiofrequency Technology for Wrinkle Reduction & Skin Tightening
Aluma provides modest wrinkle reduction and skin tightening in various parts of the face and body. Aluma's radiofrequency technology provides virtually painless treatment with no downtime. There is significant improvement in the skin's appearance for crow's feet, eyelids, jowls, around the mouth, arms, abdomen, and legs.
Aluma's vacuum assisted hand piece allows radiofrequency energy to be transmitted into the dermis and heat the dermal layer of skin to stimulate new collagen production. This radiofrequency technology penetrates deep into the dermis to treat wrinkles and fine lines, thereby enhancing skin tightening. Patients typically require 5 treatments, which are scheduled two weeks apart. Treatments are fast, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately.
In the month following treatment, collagen and dermal remodeling are produced by the body's natural wound healing process leaving the treated skin firmer and more youthful.
Our staff can advise you how to learn more about Aluma Technology.
Please contact Josephine at 212.772.3220.
