This allows the quickest treatment with the least amount of discomfort while getting the best result possible.

Smart Xide Dot Laser
Smart Xide Dot Laser makes individual, microscopic, needle-shaped tracks into the skin, leaving the immediate surrounding skin intact. This therapy has become very popular because it produces a result similar to a traditional CO2 laser with one-third of the downtime. Most patients can return to work after only four days. This therapy can eliminate areas of pigmentation, sun damage, and significantly reduce wrinkles. It is also good for rejuvenating the hands, arms, and chest (décolleté). As a foremost San Diego cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Chasan has researched all of the current fractional lasers and chose the Smart Xide Dot as the best.
Iriderm Laser Treatment
Iriderm laser is used specifically for broken capillaries (telangiectasias) of the face, as well as brown spots. It is one of the most effective lasers ever used for this purpose. There is a little stinging with the treatment. However, the recovery time is very short. Some of the larger broken capillaries may look like a cat scratch for a few days, but they soon disappear. Most patients who develop telangiectasias have lighter skin, and they often are of English or Irish ancestry. This treatment is very effective in clearing broken capillaries in only one session.
