Do You Live With Unwanted Hair, Sun Damage, Facial Veins, or Acne?

You may be surprised to find out these conditions can all be treated with the same light-based technology.

Dr. Shahidi, a specialist in endocrinology and internal medicine says “Most people are familiar with laser hair removal or some other form of light-based hair reduction, but few know how versatile light-based treatments have become.

The Palomar Pulsed Light System can treat unwanted hair, sunspots, spider veins, acne, rosacea, and more. “It’s a tremendous advantage to both doctor and patient to treat all of these conditions without having to use multiple devices or refer the patient to another practitioner” explains Dr. Shahidi. Though they are very similar to lasers, pulsed light systems use a much larger spot size than lasers. This spreads more light over a larger area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result. During treatments, filtered light is directed onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin in hair or pigmented lesions and the blood in visible vessels. The light heats the pigment and disables the hair follicles and the cells that produce the pigment. In the case of vessels, the light is absorbed by the hemoglobin within the veins, causing them to shrink and fade from view.

These skin treatments are done in the comfort of Dr. Shahidi’s office which is convientely located in the heart of Falls Church, Virginia. Don’t wait any longer to feel confident about the way you look . Schedule a consultation with Dr. Shahidi today.
