Laser Treatments Philadelphia
Permanent Results through Non-invasive Treatment
We employ laser treatments at our Philadelphia-area cosmetic surgery practice whenever possible, as they afford us a level of precision that is not possible through more traditional means. Additionally, laser treatments give us the opportunity to offer our patients a non-invasive alternative for many procedures, including skin resurfacing and tightening. If you are interested in laser treatment, Dr. Paul Glat can discuss your goals with you in person and determine if a laser procedure is right for you.

Laser Hair Removal
A wonderfully beneficial procedure for both men and women, laser hair removal allows us to permanently remove hair from almost anywhere on the body. The procedure is completely non-invasive, and requires very little downtime (typically, post-treatment symptoms are minor, and include mild swelling or redness). To be fully effective, the laser treatment usually needs to be performed several times over the same area, but the results are tremendous. Men with excessive back hair or women who are looking to remove hair from the upper lip or armpits can do away with constant shaving and waxing, as laser hair removal can drastically reduce or completely eliminate the hair from the area that is treated.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is similar to a chemical peel, in that it is a procedure designed to remove the outermost layer of the dermis to reveal healthier, younger skin. Unlike a chemical peel however, laser treatment affords unparalleled precision and allows for more refined results. With a precision laser, Dr. Glat can focus on particular areas of the face to effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, discolorations, sun spots, or other imperfections. If need be, other areas of the face can be left untreated to minimize the impact the treatment has on the patient. Such are the benefits of laser treatments over more traditional options.
Laser Skin Tightening
An alternative to injectables and dermal fillers, laser skin tightening is employed to both firm up the skin's tone and to remove or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, laugh lines, age lines, and other aesthetic flaws caused by a breakdown in the skin's natural collagen. Whereas dermal fillers increase volume beneath the skin, laser treatment heats up the dermal layers beneath the skin, promoting collagen growth. The benefits of this approach are numerous; the body does the work itself, and thus the process is more natural, and the use of fillers isn't required so there is no necessity for needles.
