Lasers produce a beam of light that can selectively destroy blood vessels, pigment, hair, scars, wrinkles and other lesions and skin conditions. At Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute, the power of the laser is individualized for each patient living in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Kendall and surrounding areas, by our team of expert dermatologists. Our board-certified physicians all have extensive experience in using state-of-the-art lasers for treating wrinkles, brown spots, redness, tattoos, Nevus of Ota, pigmented lesions, birthmarks, melasma, acne, scarring, and many other skin conditions.

Individuals seeking laser treatment at Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute can rest assured that only the best laser or light treatment will be used for their specific needs. We combine our highly individualized treatment protocol with our years of experience and expertise to deliver the most beautiful outcome possible. Guided by our core values, we aim to provide each patient with the best experience possible so that they will leave our office satisfied with and confident in their results.

Our Laser Treatments

One of our main goals is to ensure patient comfort during treatment. We use a local anesthetic cream to minimize the snapping sensation some patients may feel. We also bring our advanced understanding of your specific need to help reassure you that you are in good hands. Our medical team is highly educated, trained, and experienced in creating a safe, comfortable and results-driven environment in which you can feel free to relax and enjoy the process. Should you decide to take an oral painkiller or anti-anxiety prescriptions for more extensive procedures, you will need to ensure you have a family member or friend to drive you home.

Notice of Privacy Practices

Whether this is your first experience with laser treatments, or you’ve had many before, we will provide detailed pre- and post-procedure instructions as part of our comprehensive care and commitment to your success. It’s important to note that you may experience side effects after your treatment such as pink, bruised, or hyperpigmented (darkened) skin for up to two weeks after laser treatment.

Sun avoidance is important for at least four weeks after laser therapy, sometimes longer depending on the laser treatment. Multiple lasers or light treatments are often necessary depending on the results to be achieved. Treatments may be scheduled at intervals of anywhere from two to eight weeks, as needed.

Although side effects from laser procedures are rare when performed by our well-trained laser specialists, there are some risks in certain cases, as follows. These will be explained in detail by our medical team in advance of your treatment.

  • Skin lightening (hypopigmentation)
  • Skin darkening (hyperpigmentation)
  • Infection
  • Skin texture change
  • Scarring
  • Swelling
  • Allergic reaction to ointment
  • Activation of cold sores
  • Incomplete removal of lesion
  • Pain
  • Blistering
  • Need for further treatment or multiple treatments

The dermatologists of Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute can design a treatment plan for addressing the skin of the face, neck, perioral (around the mouth), periocular (around the eyes), cheeks, chest, arms, legs, hands and the back.
