At
Contemporary Plastic Surgery, we want to make you more
comfortable. More comfortable with the hair removal
process. More comfortable in your surroundings. More
comfortable in your own beautiful skin.
And you’ll love our unique approach.
More personal than a hair removal “clinic.” More
professional than a beauty salon or spa, the
Contemporary Plastic Surgery Total Treatment Experience
includes:
Education
We always begin with a free consultation. Our
professional staff will take the time to ensure that you
thoroughly understand the technology, the procedure and
the possibilities before beginning treatment. You will
be given guidelines for pretreatment preparations and
post treatment care.
Expertise
Our staff consists of fully qualified medical personnel
with years of experience treating patients and extensive
training operating our specialized equipment.
Results
We use the state-of-the-art FDA-approved
technology to ensure the permanent reduction of unwanted
body hair and to reveal your most radiant self.
Why are multiple
treatments necessary?
Depending on the number
of conditions you are treating, and the severity of the
individual problem, we recommend a series of five or six
treatment sessions. You may return to work the same day
and resume all your regular activities. By dividing the
full program into several treatments, you will receive
gradual improvement with very low risk and appreciate
the wonderful "no downtime" feature.

IPL for Hair Removal |
|
The Palomar allows
customized treatment for hair removal according to your
skin type and the color and texture of your hair. What
is NEW is that this Laser can treat people with ALL skin
types, including those of African American, Hispanic and
Asian descent. The hair follicles absorb the intense
light pulses creating very localized intense heat. This
heat destroys the follicle and re-growth potential. This
creates a permanent reduction in hair. The number of
treatments required depends on a number of factors. The
hair must be in a growth phase to be affected. Hair from
different areas of the body grows at different rates.
For significant hair reduction, most patients require
from 3 to 5 treatments. Darker skin patients may require
as many as 6 to 10 treatments since the laser has to be
"turned down" as not to damage the more highly pigmented
skin.
If you’re a man or woman struggling with unwanted facial
or body hair, we have a simple solution for you.
Contemporary Plastic Surgery, can help you
professionally and permanently reduce unwanted facial
and body hair. |

Laser
Resurfacing |
|
 |
The most advanced skin
rejuvenation technology is now available in our office
for treating aging skin. Photo damaged skin is more than
just wrinkles; it is hyperpigmentation (excess and
uneven color changes), enlarged pores, telangiectasias
and brown "age spots".
Classical treatment for most of these conditions has
been dermabrasion, deep chemical peels and laser
resurfacing with either C02 or Erbium Lasers. However,
these treatments require significant healing time for
patients. Alternative solutions have been provided
through IPL Resurfacing with no visible healing time in
most patients.
|
|
|
Why IPL Resurfacing? |
|
 |
|
 |
|
- The Palomar
uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), beyond even
the latest lasers, to slow down the signs of
aging, reduce birthmarks, unwanted hair,
unsightly small veins and other blemishes
and even smoothes wrinkles.
- Redness
associated with Rosacea, red spots, brown
spots and other benign pigmented lesions can
be significantly reduced.
- Reduction
in these imperfections along with decreasing
skin pore size and reduced wrinkles can lead
to smoother, revitalized skin.
- The same
treatments can be effectively used on the
neck, chest and hands. Our patients often
get the compliments that their skin "glows"
from the smoother texture and tone.
- These
treatments are accompanied by minimal
discomfort and no "down time."
- The Palomar
attacks the collagen beneath the skin to
create a smoother layer of collagen that
reflects in a smoother surface above without
the associated healing time.

No down time,
minimally invasive: what does this mean to you? |
|
|
|
|
IPL (Intense Pulsed
Light) is gentler than most lasers and works in a series
of treatments. To reach significant improvement
typically requires 5 sessions. However after each
treatment, there is little visible healing other than
some darkening of the skin or mild redness for a few
days to a week. These can usually be covered by makeup
from the day of treatment. Patients may experience mild
discomfort with IPL treatments. Some say it is similar
to the snapping of a rubber band. Discomfort during the
procedure can be reduced by topical anesthetic cream
applied before treatment.

IPL for
Photorejuvenation |
|
|
|
|
|
Skin ages by thickening
and irregularity of the surface layers. Deeper collagen
becomes looser and in disarray. IPL Laser penetrates
down to the collagen level of the skin for smoother
textured skin. Exfoliation, Microdermabrasion, good skin
care and topicals such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Vitamin
C, and Copper Peptides can improve the surface.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
IPL for Vascular and
Pigmented Lesions |
|
|
|
|
| |
The face has an
extensive network of veins and tiny blood vessels called
capillaries. These vessels can break creating red
streaks and penetrate to the surface of the skin. We
often call these "spider veins." For vascular lesions,
the laser heats the hemoglobin in the blood cells that
cauterizes these vessels.
 |
|
|
|
|
| |
Rosacea is a skin
condition that leaves people with red/flushed faces.
This comes from dilated superficial vessels. Rosacea can
also cause pimples and/or blisters on the nose and
cheeks. Initial treatment is with medications aimed at
the cause and should be monitored by your dermatologist.
IPL Laser can treat the dilated vessels and redness
without injuring the surrounding healthy skin.
 |
|
|
|
|
| |
Pigment changes come
from increase in melanin in the skin. The skin color can
become irregular. Brown "age spots" can form. Even
freckles may be un-wanted. For pigmented lesions, the
melanin (pigment) absorbs the laser energy, which
shatters these pigment cells, which are then eaten up by
the body's scavenger cells. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fractional Laser Treatments |
|
|
|
|
Using a new breakthrough
procedure called Fractional Photothermolysis, microscopic
ablation of the epidermis will partially resurface your skin
to notably improve skin texture, smooth out acne scars,
improve pigmentation problems such as Melasma and brown
spots, and reduce fine to moderate static lines and wrinkles
in just a few treatments with minimal or no downtime. The
Fractional Laser treatments will stimulate regeneration of
the deeper collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, without
harming the surface. The remodeling of collagen results in
fresher, younger-looking skin like ablative laser
procedures, without any significant interference with daily
activities. |
|
|
|
|
|
What is the
Treatment Like? |
|
|
|
|
|
First, the area of skin to be treated is cleansed. For your
comfort, a topic anesthetic ointment can be applied. Dr.
Doolabh will guide the hand piece across your skin and
monitor your skin’s response. Multiple passes may be
required during a treatment session. You may experience
redness or swelling immediately following that will be
treated with cool compresses. A sun block will be applied
for you. Treatments normally take about 20-25 minutes. An
effective regiment consists of at least 3 treatments at 4
week intervals. |
|
|
|
|
|
How will I
look following my treatments? |
|
|
|
|
|
Following the Fractional Laser treatment, the skin
irregularities will fade away gradually. Noticeable
improvements occur within the first week following
treatment. Minimal side effects consist of mild redness and
swelling that normally subsides in a one day, and may
persist for approximately 3 days. Regular use of sun block
is essential to prevent post-treatment hyper-pigmentation.
Make-up can be applied immediately and you may return to
work or routine activities at any time.
