Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Smooth, healthy-looking skin can be yours through laser resurfacing. Harnessing the safe but highly effective power of the laser, resurfacing can remove the damaged outer layers of the skin, allowing for a smoother, blemish-free appearance. Wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, benign moles, and other imperfections can be removed with little pain and very few complications. The technology for laser skin treatment is similar to laser hair removal. Baltimore, Maryland patients who choose laser resurfacing are usually very pleased with their results, especially considering that there's very little chance of bleeding or other complications.

Brown Spot Removal

Consistent, prolonged exposure to sunlight can easily damage skin. A common effect of sun exposure is the appearance of brown patches, oftentimes referred to as "sun spots, lentigos, freckles and liver spots." These areas of uneven pigmentation most often appear on the hands, face, chest, and arms, but they can show up on other areas of the skin as well.

At the Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa, Dr. Dean Kane and his staff use a variety of methods for treating sun spots. The GenteLase® laser removes sun spots quickly, safely, and comfortably. For those whose spots are less severe, Retin-A® / Obagi™ skin preparation, liquid nitrogen and chemical peels have worked very well for long term improvement.

Sun Damage Therapy

Dr. Kane offers Levulan® Photodynamic therapy to treat sun-damaged skin, acne, and overactive oil secreting glands. Levulan® is a powerful topical solution that serves to tighten skin and enhance the efficacy of the V-Beam® laser and Blue Light therapies. By making the skin more sensitive to light, Levulan® substantially improves the results that can be achieved with the Blue Light or V-Beam® alone. When used in conjunction with the Blue Light treatment, which affords patients a non-invasive, pain-free way to improve a variety of skin conditions, patients can enjoy a marked improvement in unsightly skin conditions like acne, rosacea and uneven pigmentation.

People of all colors—from darker-skinned African-Americans and Hispanics to Asian-Americans and Europeans with fair skin—experience sun-damage. Dr. Kane's sun damage therapy can minimize the impact of sun damage and can also be beneficial for the removal of actinic keratoses, or pre-cancerous lesions, and vascular capillaries with Levulan® Photodynamic therapy and the V-Beam® laser.

Rosacea Therapy

Rosacea is a particularly noticeable skin condition that causes blushed cheeks, chins, and noses as well as excessive redness in other areas of the face. The condition can also take a more severe form that causes acne-like swelling and thickens the skin on the nose. Rosacea develops, for the most part, in people who are fair-skinned and 30 years old or older. With the help of a V-Beam laser, Dr. Dean Kane can treat the unsightly redness and broken capillaries that cause the coloration.

Neck Rejuvenation

Poikiloderma, or mottled pigment around the neck area, can affect many people who are exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time. The condition is found most often in middle-aged or elderly women with fair skin. While poikiloderma does not necessarily cause particular health problems, many people who have the condition decide to undergo treatment for cosmetic reasons. By using a vascular laser, Dr. Kane can tighten skin and reduce the red neck band that appears as a result of poikiloderma.
