the LaseMD device, now available at Spring Street Dermatology in NYC

The board-certified dermatologists and physician assistants at Spring Street Dermatology stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in medical and cosmetic dermatology treatments, including the LaseMD. We offer procedures that produce excellent improvement in the skin without surgery, with the ability to customize your treatments to create beautiful, natural results. Our team is excited to offer this treatment at our SOHO, Tribeca, and Uptown offices.

What is the LaseMD?

The LaseMD is a fractional laser device from Lutronic with a 1927nm wavelength that can treat a wide range of skin concerns. The device works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, sending heat to the deep dermal layers to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. These elements help the skin appear youthful and refreshed, but the body produces less of these essential proteins as we age.

The procedure does not affect the skin’s surface, ensuring patients enjoy minimal downtime after this procedure. As collagen and elastin levels increase after a LaseMD treatment, patients enjoy a natural improvement in the skin’s condition and appearance. LaseMD is safe for all skin types and tones, making this an excellent option for patients that might be limited in their treatment choices due to skin color.

What Does LaseMD Treat?

Because the LaseMD device works deep beneath the skin’s surface to create changes at the cellular level, it can affect the outer appearance of the skin in many ways. Some of the specific concerns addressed by the LaseMD include:

Uneven skin tone and texture
Melasma
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage
Acne
Scarring, including acne scarring
Actinic keratosis

Who Is A Candidate for LaseMD?

A LaseMD treatment can be an excellent choice for anyone experiencing any of the skin concerns listed above. It works on nearly every skin type and tone, making this a good option for many of our patients looking for quick skin rejuvenation. Because this treatment only takes about 30 minutes, even those with busy schedules can fit this procedure into their day. If you only want to come to one of our NYC offices once or twice a year and still look and feel refreshed, LaseMD can be an excellent option for you.

Produces natural-looking results

The Procedure

The LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative laser that uses fractional technology to rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. Non-ablative lasers create micro-channels in the skin to stimulate the body’s own healing processes. Because these lasers only affect a portion of the skin, they can work deeply into the dermal layers to achieve dramatic improvement, while minimizing discomfort and downtime. The procedure leaves the outer dermis intact, so you can return to your regular activities afterward with little indication you had a cosmetic procedure performed.

Your physician will provide topical anesthesia as well as offer ibuprofen to help manage any pain you may experience. To learn more about LaseMD, visit clinicaltrials.gov

LaseMD Questions & Answers

Q: Are There Any Possible Side Effects From LaseMD?

A: One of the advantages of a LaseMD treatment is that side effects are typically both mild and temporary. Some patients experience skin redness or dryness for a few hours after the procedure, but these symptoms should not keep you from returning to your regular activities right away.

Q: How Long Will My Results Last?

A: Results can be long-lasting but not permanent as you will continue to age, and external factors like the sun will persist in their effects. A proper skincare regime with medical-grade, scientifically proven products can help prolong your positive results. We can help you create a customized plan to keep your skin in top condition between treatments.

Q: Does a LaseMD Treatment Hurt?

A:Most patients say they are comfortable during LaseMD treatments, but we offer topical numbing to help ensure comfort. Patients report some tingling or prickling sensations during the procedure, but the experience is usually quite tolerable.

Q: What is Recovery From a LaseMD Treatment Like?

A: There is no recommended downtime after a LaseMD treatment. Because this device works deep below the surface to promote cell turnover while leaving the top skin layer untouched, most patients can return to normal activities immediately following their treatment session.

Q: How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?

A: The number of treatment sessions will depend on the specific depth of your procedure and the addressed concerns. While some patients will see real improvement in a single appointment, others might require 2-3 sessions to achieve an optimal outcome.

Dermal Fillers to treat wrinkles at Spring Street Dermatology of NYC

Botox

Frowning, squinting, and smiling leave behind fine lines and wrinkles over time. Neuromodulators can be injected directly with a tiny needle into the muscles responsible and work by reducing crease-causing contractions.

Dermal Fillers

As we mature, loss of volume leads to wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds, thinned lips, exaggerated jowls, and marionette lines. The natural deterioration of underlying bone and soft tissue leaves a hollowed, aged appearance. Fillers injected below the skin surface can correct age-related volume loss.

Ultherapy

One effective procedure that may offer an alternative to a facelift for some patients is Ultherapy. This procedure utilizes advanced and highly-studied ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s production of collagen.

My wife is from Brazil and is extremely uncomfortable around doctors in English in the US. However, both Dr. Nadia Kihiczak, and the receptionist, Ania, set my wife at ease immediately with their competence and patience! They explained all procedures and test clearly. So the doctor and the staff at this office are exceptionally well trained. The office itself is spotless and beautiful. Why would you go anywhere else in this neighborhood (Chambers Street). Thanks!

The wait time was minimal. Staff was professional and welcoming. Waiting area and rooms were clean and nice. Dr. Birnbaum gave me a thorough examination of all my sunspots. She explained everything to me as she was examining me. I also had a small mole removed and I didn’t feel a thing. She is professional, informative, and very caring. Now that I have found her, I will not go anywhere else.
