Book a consultation →The defining feature of this practice is that it is led by a dermatologist with a deep focus on lasers. Dr Paul M. Friedman is board certified in dermatology and fellowship trained in Mohs micrographic and cosmetic laser surgery, and he serves as director of the center. For energy based skin work, that medical depth is the point. A physician who understands both the science of the skin and the physics of the device is well placed to match the right laser to the right concern and skin type, and to recognise when a treatment is not appropriate. The center treats a broad range of skin concerns, from pigmentation and vascular marks to texture and scarring, alongside medical and surgical dermatology. As with any specialist practice, ask who will perform your treatment and confirm their credentials before booking.

Laser skin treatments are medical procedures and carry real risks even in expert hands. Expect redness, swelling and warmth afterwards, which settle over hours to several days depending on the intensity. Ablative resurfacing involves more downtime, with peeling, crusting and sensitivity that can last a week or more. Less common effects include blistering, infection, scarring and changes in pigmentation, where skin becomes lighter or darker than before. Pigmentation change is a greater risk in deeper skin tones and on recently tanned skin, which is one reason a dermatologist led assessment matters. Results vary from person to person, more than one session is often required, and nothing is guaranteed. Strict sun protection before and after treatment is essential. Discuss your medical history, any tendency to cold sores or keloid scarring, and your realistic expectations in person.
At your consultation, ask which clinician will treat you and their credentials, which laser they will use and why it suits your skin, how much downtime is realistic, and how a reaction would be managed. A reputable practice welcomes these questions and may recommend a test patch first.
