Age and sun spot removal/wrinkle reduction. Over time, natural skin aging and exposure to UV radiation from the sun make superficial blood vessels visible and cause the skin to produce pockets of irregular pigmentation. Big Apple Physicians uses the  ProLite II Intense Pulsed Light System which  uses interchangeable filters that selectively block out unwanted UV and blue radiation, safely delivering broadband light to target chromophores (melanin and hemoglobin) to treat conditions such as:

• Facial telangiectasias
• Flushing and redness
• Rosacea
• Poikiloderma (red neck)
• Redness following laser skin resurfacing
• Age spots and liver spots
• Pigmented lesions
• Scar coloration and general skin elasticity

Light is applied to the treatment area using a 10x20 mm sapphire wave guide that can be fired every two seconds, allowing for treatment of large areas, such as whole faces, hands, necks and decolletes, shoulders and backs. Treating large areas not only addresses specific problem areas but also results in an overall improvement in skin texture, tone, pore size and collateral collagen building. Treatments, which typically are provided in a series of sessions at two-week intervals, are painless. Patients can resume normal activities immediately.

To maintain long-lasting improvement, follow-up care may include bi-annual maintenance sessions. Unique among pulsed light devices, the ProLite II has been designed with safety in mind. The smart card guarantees stable output power throughout the lifetime of the flash and its exclusive pulse shaping technology maintains the temperature of target tissue, without overheating the epidermis, maximizing the therapeutic window. Filters can be easily interchanged so as individualize treatments, providing optimal filtration while achieving more dramatic results.
