Laser Update with Dr. Gross

The use of laser therapy has many applications in the medical field, and is becoming increasingly popular to treat a variety of undesirable problems (i.e. hair removal, unwanted tattoos, and scars). However, not one laser machine can perform all of the indications. "Patients love laser therapy because the results are excellent, there's little to no down time & relatively painless," says Dr. Gross. Whatever your need or desire, consult with Dr. Gross to discuss which laser is right for you.

"There are literally dozens of laser machines that I use depending on the treatment goal. Lasers are becoming an increasingly important part of my daily practice." ---Dr. Gross

YAG Laser

"I use the YAG for removal of brown spots, sun spots, pigmented lesions & tattoos without the need for surgery, stitches, anesthesia & does not leave any scarring. The average patient requires 2-3 treatments for removal of sun spots; and tattoo removal requires 6-10 treatments." --Dr. Gross

Candela GentleLase®
Hair Removal System

"I use this laser exclusively to treat unwanted hair of the chin, side burns, neck, mouth, back, legs & underarm areas. It has a good tolerance for all skin types & 6 monthly sessions are required for clearance. I like to use Betacaine numbing creme on my patients prior to treatments. Patients can return to work that same day without any signs of treatment. It's by far the best & safest laser available for hair removal...and it sure beats waxing!"---Dr. Gross
