Discover the power of laser treatments: A Q&A with Dr. Neal

Trust the beauty and health of your skin to a board-certified dermatologist, skilled in some of the industry’s most advanced techniques such as Mohs surgery for complex tumors. The extensive expertise of your Dermatologist in Arlington VA, Dr. Kenneth Neal, combines with advanced technologies at Washington Dermatology Consultants. Dr. Neal is pleased to share some of these exciting developments in laser technology with you …

Q. What can lasers treat? 

Imagine most any condition, and there may be a laser for that. We are experienced at selecting the right laser and light-based devices to treat signs of aging like sun spots, as well as other concerns such as birth marks, scars, warts, yellow and brittle nails, and unwanted hair as an alternative to painstaking electrolysis. 

Q. Why do you use lasers so often? 

Today’s laser- and light-based technology has never been better. Medical-grade devices are designed to precisely target trouble spots, leaving healthy areas outside of the treatment site untouched. Next-generation technologies combine powerful capabilities with the safety that comes as a noninvasive and low-risk alternative to surgical procedures. Whereas some first-generation lasers may have worked best on certain types of skin, the latest technologies are suitable for many different patients without unwanted side effects such as hypopigmentation.

Q. Can lasers also remove tattoos? 

Yes! In the past, those with tattoo regret would either have to learn to live with it or take more drastic steps to remove once loved body art, such as surgical excision. Some of these old approaches resulted in scars or other unwanted side effects. Modern laser technology allows for the removal of notoriously stubborn old, previously-treated, or multicolored tattoos. The lasers are so precise that only the treated ink is damaged, and not surrounding tissue.

Some laser or light-based treatments may be used in conjunction with other therapies or products for optimal results. Call 571-431-6175 to schedule a consultation.
