Mild discomfort results from the Affirm laser treatments include redness, swelling or puffiness will disappear after a few hours or in a few days. For best results, our office recommends anywhere from 2-4 treatments to achieve desired results.

Vascular Lesions, Brown Spots & Warts: Endovenous Laser Treatment
These laser treatment technique will get rid of blood vessels, spider veins and varicose veins using laser technology.
It can be done the same day as a sclerotherapy session.
Lasers have been used in the treatment of vascular lesions for many years. More specific lasers utilizing a yellow light, which can selectively destroy the involved pigment cells and blood vessels, have been used with excellent clinical results since the 1980's. Multiple laser treatments are usually necessary to destroy a vascular or pigmented lesion. Most telangectasias or spider veins require an average of 2 or 4 treatments for significant lesional lightening. The strength of the laser power must be individualized and successive treatments over the same area are required for at least 4 weeks apart.
Existing laser research and clinical evidence indicate that laser surgery is safe: however there is no guarantee that laser treatment will resolve your condition completely. While side effects of this procedure are minimal, there is a small risk of skin texture changes or scarring, pigmentary changes (skin lightening or darkening) and infection.
RF Skin Tightening

What types of results can be expected?
The result is a noticeable improvement in skin quality and skin tightening withno down time for patients. It works well on the face, neck, jowls, arm and abdomen.
Tattoo and Brown Spot Removal
Tatoo Removal
Depositing various colored pigments under the skin surface. Many methods have been tried to remove tattoos and pigmented lesions including surgical excision, use of various acids and bleaching agents, destruction by heat or cold, over tattooing with flesh-colored pigment, sanding or dermabrading and various lasers.
Will All My Pigmentation Be Removed?
It may not be possible to remove 100% of your tattoo/pigmented lesion. Certain pigments are especially "stubborn" and may require multiple treatments for particle lightening or use of an alternative laser.
How Many Sessions will be Necessary?
A series of treatments may be required averaging 4 to 6 sessions for amateur tattoos or brown spots and 6 to 8 sessions for professional tattoos. There may be a crust or scab on the skin requiring special care with topical antibiotic ointment, bandages, and limitation of activity in some cases for a period of 1 or 2 weeks following treatment.
Laser Hair Removal
The permanent solution to painful waxing, shaving, and plucking is Laser Hair Removal
With Laser Hair Removal you can have silky smooth legs, underarms, and bikini area, or a fuzz free face, neck or
back with only a few laser sessions.
Dr. Moy uses the Sheer Light Laser, which has been FDA approved for permanent hair reduction, and is showing dramatic results on darker complexions. Some patients report that 70% of hair, in a treated area, is permanently removed after only a single treatment!
Who is a candidate for laser hair removal?
The biggest requirement is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Additionally, very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser energy in their skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients with light hair are not candidates. Tanned patients with dark hair should wait until their tan fades before they are treated.
Skin and hair color influence the effects of laser hair removal:
Light skin makes laser hair removal easier to perform. Fewer treatments are required, and better, faster results are obtained. People with darker skin can be treated, but results are slower and more sessions may be required. Your laser hair removal sessions will be individualized according to your skin tone and your hair color and texture.
What areas can be treated?
Any area where there is excessive hair can be treated. The most common areas requested are the face, upper lip, neck, chest, underarms, back, abdomen, bikini line, and legs.
Photo Rejuvenation Treatment
Photo Rejuvenation Treatment is a light therapy that improves facial redness, pigmentation and fine wrinkles with no down time. Dr. Ronald Moy introduces the FotoFacialTM, a revolutionary combination skin treatment for removing brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles. This non-invasive treatment flashes an intense pulsed light and two or three other lasers onto the skin, to produce younger, healthier and smoother skin.
This non-laser rejuvenating treatment works where popular bleaching creams have failed, effectively treating rosacea, as well as chronic facial and neck redness. It's also great for improving Asian and darkly-pigmented skin.
Patients experience minimal discomfort while the system flashes light on the skin for a period of 20 to 30 minutes. Most patients experience only mild redness afterwards with possible mild swelling, which can be camouflaged with makeup.
Extremely tolerable, the treatment requires no anesthesia.
This FotoFacial™ can be more advantageous than a laser peel (laser resurfacing) for blotchiness because it's much less expensive, plus requires no recovery or down time. With the FotoFacial™, you can also treat the entire face through a multiple flashes of light. The system emits a rectangular image large enough to cover the entire face with approximately 20 light flashes, while a laser emits a tiny, focused beam, covering only a limited section.
Dr. Moy recommends at least 4 to 5 FotoFacialTM treatments total to achieve optimal results.
For treating deep facial lines, Dr. Moy advises patients to opt for laser resurfacing.
BEST Laser Skin Resurfacing for Looking Younger
We have performed more laser resurfacing procedures than any office averaging at least 3 procedures per day.
New technology for improving wrinkle line have made Laser Skin Resurfacing the best way to look younger naturally. This exciting medical breakthrough uses specially designed medical lasers to gently remove unappealing skin surfaces to expose underlying healthy skin and create an improved cosmetic appearance.
What conditions does Laser Resurfacing help?
It can smooth and tighten eyelid skin, fine lines and wrinkles of the face, including the upper lip, cheeks, forehead and crow's feet. In addition, it can fade brown spots and pigmentation problems, as well as improve scars (including acne scars).
What are theadvantages of Laser Resurfacing?
The new fractional carbon dioxide laser has an on-board computer precisely controlling the depth of skin penetration (less than 1/2 the thickness of a human hair). This precision allows damaged skin to be gently sculpted away with each pass of the laser. This decreases the risk of wounding skin too deeply or damaging adjacent healthy skin so that persistent redness
is not a problem.
What are the benefits of Laser Resurfacing?
* improved treatment results that always looks natural
* no surgery
* precisely controlled treatment
* can be used as an addition to or alternative for other skin rejuvenating treatments.
* reduced risk of scarring and pigments change
*prevents future skin cancers
* results last longer than most other cosmetic treatments.
For many patients the results last so long that I do not see them for many years.
Results will vary from patient to patient. Our doctors can give you a better estimate after your customized consultation. A good maintenance program using Regeneration Serum and DNAEGF Renewal contains DNA repair enzymes which can help decrease pre-cancerous and treat the effects of sun damage as suggested by our office will help you maintain these benefits.
