Laser and Intense Pulsed Light(IPL) Vein Removal, Broken Capillaries, and Treating Sun Damage with the GentleYAG by Candela and the StarLux by Palomar.

Acne

The StarLux System is the most powerful aesthetic light system in the world and the most expensive system made for pure pulsed light
specialization.
Award winning StarLux IPL(Intense Pulsed Light) use a filtering system to target acne at its root cause. The Lux V handpiece on the Starlux
employ a broad spectrum of light to attack acne.
The StarLux Acne Laser System works on active acne by killing the P. acnes bacteria and it works in a separate manner on the sebaceous (oil)
glands. The StarLux system is often beneficial to individuals with very resistant acne who have not had success with medications.
The LuxV’s short wavelength (400-700 nm) is ideal for absorption by porphyrins; this destroys p. acnes bacteria for a quick clearance of
current acne breakouts
The longer wavelength (870-1200 nm) penetrates deeper into the hyperactive sebaceous glands and slows down their metabolism to prevent
future acne from forming.
In some cases Ipl is used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.Your specialist will advise you based
upon evaluation of response of acne treatment.

Photofacial

We use award winning new StarLux IPL system for improved photofacial results.(NEW StarLux IPL - Voted the ATNT 2005 Best IPL for
Photofacial Treatments!!! ). Azure day spa and laser center upgraded to the Palomar StarLux top-of-the-line IPL device in 2006.
The StarLux System is the most powerful aesthetic light system in the world and the most expensive system made for pure pulsed light
specialization.

Photofacial treatments (photorejuvenation, IPL, Photofacial) use pulses of visible light (IPL) that effectively improve facial redness and
flushing as well as the visible signs of sun damage and aging.
Photofacial is a new procedure using pulsed light technology. IPL (intense pulsed light) technology is used for dramatic improvements
and for elimination of redness, broken capillaries, sun damage, brown spots, and flushing. It also reduces fine wrinkles and large pores in the
face and other areas of the body.
After a series of treatments all clients observe a smoother skin tone with visible improvements in surface redness (e.g in Rosecea),age
spots, fine wrinkles, and irregular pigmentation.
In addition to improvement in skin tone photofacials tighten loose skin, smooth scars, and remove belend abnormal pigmentation.
Photofacials have almost no scarring in comparison to laser skin resurfacing, chemical peeling, or microdermabrasion. Procedures take
about 20 minutes and after that clients can return to full activity immediately.
Some people use term"photofacial" for the procedure done on face. But for other areas they use "lifts".
Azure offers photofacial treatments of the face, neck, chest, or any part of your body(lifts). We do Photofacial treatments on men and women
of all ages of the Greater New York Metropoilitian area.

We've discovered that the combined GentleYAG and StarLux systems can treat pigmented lesions including sun and age spots, freckles, café-au-lait and melasma; vascular lesions such as leg veins and blue facial veins, hemangiomas and port wine stains w/nodules; and wrinkles more effectively.

Veins (face, leg, etc.)

Vein disorders are a serious reality for many people. Everyone wants to look and feel their best, but vein disorders cause a lot of unnecessary aggravation and embarrassment. Laser-IPL vein removal is an easy solution to an ever-growing problem.

If you suffer from a vein disorder, but are hesitant about long, painful procedures, laser vein removal may be just what you're looking for. The origins of some vein disorders are still unknown, but it is thought that many are caused by heredity, excessive standing, weight gain, hormonal changes and even pregnancy.

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light technology has become an important factor in the treatment of vascular deformities we combine both. Laser-IPL vein removal allows for the treatment of vein disorders using non-invasive, non-surgical technology. The most common vein disorders today are spider veins and varicose veins. These and other disorders, depending on severity, have been successfully treated using this laser and IPL treatment.

How It Works

Brief light pulses are delivered to the vein through the skin's surface. They are absorbed by hemoglobin (the substance that gives blood the reddish, purple color) and converted into heat. This heat causes the walls of the vein to collapse which, in turn, stops the blood flow. Once this happens, the vein is slowly absorbed into the body, disappearing from sight.

Laser and IPL technology enables the doctor to collapse the veins without doing any damage to the outer layers of skin. The wavelength discharged through the pulse enables the light to reach the target veins under the skin while evading the outer skin entirely. The light pulses are delivered so quickly, there is not enough time for the skin to be damaged.

Will It Hurt?

When the laser is used, it produces a minor tingling feeling and causes the skin to become slightly red. This usually subsides after a few days. Cooling agents are in place in order to maximize comfort and protect the outer layers of the skin. A local anesthetic can be used if a patient finds the application of the laser too painful.

Risks:

There are a few minor risks that are sometimes associated with laser vein procedures.
- slight discoloration of skin or pigment change
- allergic reaction to anesthetic
- insufficient removal of veins

All of these risks are rare and completely treatable. Patients should confer with a physician in order to attain all the pertinent information.

What To Do After The Treatment
This procedure results in rapid healing with minimal side effects. Some patients occasionally blister, experience temporary skin discoloration, bruising and/or reddening of the skin. These conditions usually subside anywhere between a few weeks and a few months.

After the procedure, for the first 48 hours, patients should avoid any strenuous activity, keep the treatment area moist with antibiotic cream and avoid any anti-inflammatory or aspirin related medications. Patients should also wear support hoes for at least three days. This will reduce any inflammation and build-up that might cause the legs to swell or cause the veins to return.

The most important thing to do after treatment is limit your exposure to the sun. All patients' skin will be very susceptible to sunlight. If patients do need to go outside for any reason, sunscreen should be worn at all times.

How Much Will It Cost?

New York City Laser Vein Removal treatments usually start at about $50 for a small area and tend to go up from there. Treatments can last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes and are usually spaced about 3 to 6 weeks apart depending on the severity of the vein disorder.

What Results Can I Expect?

New York City Laser  Vein Removal treatment works by breaking up veins so that they can be dissolved and absorbed by the body. This does not happen immediately. Veins usually dissolve over the course of several weeks. If patients take all the necessary precautions following their treatments, a vein disorder free life is a real possibility.
