Leon Turovsky, MD, currently performs cosmetic procedures at Sheepshead Bay Laser Center, in Brooklyn, New York, where he has practiced for more than a decade. He offers an array of services there, among them Botox and Restylane injections, hair removal, spider vein treatments, and procedures to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Below, Leon Turovsky, MD, discusses one popular cosmetic option, fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing.
Doctors use fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing to address a variety of problem areas on the body, whether on the chest, face, legs, or arms. Patients elect the procedure to get rid of unwanted scars, acne, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other imperfections. This particular procedure utilizes laser energy microbeams to penetrate through to the dermis and encourage coagulation in the skin.
Typically, physicians can perform a full treatment for the chest or face in less than 15 minutes. Moreover, the procedure requires no anesthesia and offers the added advantage of virtually no recovery time. Fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing additionally produces very little swelling or redness compared to some other procedures.
While there are several options available for physicians, Sheepshead Bay Laser Center uses StarLux equipment, manufactured by Palomar Medical Technologies.
