Acne most of the time runs in families. 25% of patients have a chance to develop scars. There are several options for acne scars: fillers, microdermabrasion, resurfacing laser such as the SCITON as well as the DOT Laser.It is important to keep the acne under control so patients have less chance to develop scars. Actually that might be the first objective!. Some patients mainly women develop for the first time in their life acne, usually after the age of 30. This might be a representation some times of an endocrine problem especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms.Let’s review some of the options to keep acne under control: BLU- U light that kills the p. acne ( bacteria related to acne)- Aminolevulinic acid which is another option. Results might be similar to accutane. Aminolevulinic acid is a liquid that comes in a stick and is applied by the physician and then is followed by the BLU-U Light. Several peels might be used as well, such as the salicilic acid peel.Once the patient scars then they can be filled by fillers in combination with the SCITON or the DOT Laser. With the DOT laser we use the “stacking technique”, the laser is directed to the target ( scar). The downtime might vary from 3 to 7 days.More information about acne click below or call 407-771-0404.http://www.eternamd.com/acne-and-scar-removal.php

It is important for patients to know the differences on the type of lasers when chosing to have laser hair removal done. Many people in florida have a dark complexity. Skin type 4 and 5 are dark according to the skin clasification. Make sure the patient is aware what type of laser will be used. Also make sure the LASER HAIR REMOVAL is done by a PHYSICIAN, not a tecnician. At ETERNAMD, all treatments are done by physicians. That is a big difference, since hair overgrowth might be a manifestation of an endocrine problem. Just the other day, while doing a consultation for hair removal in a patient who had done 2 treatments at another medspa run by technicians. This is what happened: I noticed hair overgrowth around her face, acne and central obesity ( obesity around the waist) as well as irregularities on her menstrual cycles. I suspected an endocrine problem: PCOS ( Polyscistic Ovarian Syndrome). Evidently after the tests were done the diagnosis was confirmed. Part of the syndrome is “INSULIN RESISTANCE” and ELEVATION in blood sugar. She was prediabetic and she was only 28. She was treated and now she has been saved from the devastating complications of diabetes. And she jsut came for “laser hair removal”!!The above example illustrates the importance to have a proper evaluation done by CLINICIANS. At ETERNAMD, all procedures including laser hair removal are done by physicians. and according to the law of the state of florida ( once a laser is ignitated the physician needs to be present: BILL 699, FLORIDA STATUE) and there is always a physician on site. Also our laser is equipped to treat all skin types: black, hispanics, indian, asian and all types.Any questions about laser hair removal click :http://www.eternamd.com/laser-hair-removal.php  or go to www.eternamd.comor call 407-771-0404.

I am reporting on the significant improvement on wrinkles on patients face using the DOT Laser. Patients are requiring less botox. Using one of my techniques, that provides a double pass around the nasolabial folds ( smiling lines) patients have noticed signficant improvement. Some patients are requiring less fillers as well. The other day one of my regular patients came for her regular botox treatment. He comes every 3 months. I was ready to do his botox on his forehead. For my surprise he and I noticed that lines on his forehead were gone. He had the DOT laser done almost 4 weeks prior. He was very happy since he didn’t have to spent money in botox. When I perform the DOT laser on patients I go with a special setting for wrinkle reduction around the eyes, patients are noticing significant tightening and wrinkle reduction. I have one patient that was treated in another location with IPL ( Intense Pulse light) several treatments as well as the Fraxel * 4 treatments) and no significant results. With one DOT laser treatment she achieved skin tightening and all her brown spots were gone. The beauty about the DOT laser is that I can customize the treatment based on the patient complaints.
