Carbon Dioxide Laser

A CO2 laser is capable of removing skin tissues with precision unsurpassed by conventional surgical techniques. Moles, age spots, and warts can be removed with minimal tissue damage and post-treatment discomfort.

Pigmented Lesion (Q-Switched Nd: YAG) Laser


Irregularities in skin pigmentation like tattoos, sun spots and age spots may not improve using traditional medical treatment. The Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser at the Skin Laser Center is ideal for the treatment of such problems. One treatment normally suffices for light brown or tan spots, while darker lesions and tattoos may require multiple sessions. The treatment takes just a few minutes and involves application of a pre-treatment numbing cream and a post-treatment antibiotic. After the treatment, the skin may be left with brown spots which will clear with time. 

Laser Hair Removal – Diode Lasers


The diode laser is a state-of-the art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully, and more reliably than electrolysis.

Light emitted by the diode laser is absorbed by the pigment (color) located in the hair follicle, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair’s growth. The laser  tends to treat hair follicles that are in an active growth phase and therefore more than one treatment may be required to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter this growth phase. Laser treatment itself may cause a slight tingling sensation. Immediate after-effects may include redness and swelling, which disappear in a short time.

Ichthyosis (ick-thee-OH-sis) is a skin disease that causes extremely dry, thick, and scaly skin resembles fish scales.

These are a heterogeneous group of disorders with both inherited and acquired forms. these are the types
Ichthyosis Vulgaris- Most common type of icthyosis Lamellar Ichthyosis- Lamellar ichthyosis is characterized by dark, plate (armor)-like scale. Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis- characterized by generalized redness and fine white scale Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma- newborn infant with ichthyosis who presented at birth with collodion baby appearance. X-linked Ichthyosis- due to a defect in the enzyme steroid sulfatase, affects males with generalized scaling that usually begins soon after birth.

Ichthyosis Treatment

Several hours each day may need to be devoted the skin if ichthyosis is present in an individual. Daily, a person will need to take a shower or a bath. The skin should be exfoliated on a daily basis, and moisturised well. Moisturising ointments or creams may need to be prescribed by a dermatologist for the individual. Oral retinoids can be prescribed to reduce scaling. If a secondary infection occurs on the skin, oral antibiotics will need to be prescribed. Tips that will help keep the skin looking and feeling its best include applying a good quality lotion within 3 minutes of bathing. Apply to wet skin to keep moisture trapped into the skin. Products that contain lactic acid, alpha hydroxy acids and urea will help to keep skin not only moisturised but also exfoliated. Rubbing a wet pumice stone over crusty scales on the skin can help to remove them. Should there be scales on the scalp, brushing wet hair gently will aid in removing the scales.
