What is Laser Dermatology?

Top dermatologists have been using lasers to treat skin conditions for more than 40 years. The first laser skin treatments were effective for port-wine stains, benign growths, and other benign vascular marks, but a high rate of scarring was an undesirable side effect.

Over the years, the evolution of laser dermatology technology has led to major advances in laser skin treatment for scores of congenital and dermatological conditions. You have a wide variety of light and laser technologies at your disposal, giving you and the staff at Kitagawa Dermatology the best options possible, from acne treatment to skin tightening, and from laser hair removal to wrinkle treatment.

Although laser skin treatments have proven time and again to be effective and safe, there are still chances for mild, temporary side effects, such as soreness, redness, bruising, scarring, and more.

Talk with Dr. Kitagawa and his staff to learn more.

Vbeam Perfecta – This laser skin treatment is safe and effective for a variety of skin lesions using a pulsed-dye laser. Areas affected with vascular, pigmented, or non-pigmented lesions are targeted with an intense, yet gentle, yellow light that the blood vessels or melanin in your skin absorb, stimulating the growth of new collagen and helping restore your natural glow. Vbeam Perfecta is also effective for acne scars, rosacea, telangiectasias, stretch marks, facial and spider veins, leg veins, port-wine stains, warts, sunspots, and fine lines and wrinkles.

The Vbeam Perfecta is shown to treat port-wine stains effectively with less post-treatment darkening than other laser devices. Also, unwanted side effects like bruising and crusting that are common after laser procedures are rarely seen after a Vbeam Perfecta session. This device emits a cooling spray before each burst of light to minimize discomfort.
