Lasers and Laser Surgery

At Juva, we use the latest generation of laser systems to treat skin and cosmetic problems safely, quickly and precisely. Among the many conditions we successfully address are wrinkles, age spots, stretch marks, acne scars, spider veins, keloids, port wine stains, tattoos, cellulite, and pre-cancerous sun damage. Acne and Rosacea are now treated with Laser Photo Dynamic Therapy and loose skin of the jowels and the neck by the new Titan Laser.

As Dr. Bruce Katz explained on ABC's 'The View', our advanced laser technologies are now able to treat a broader range of medical conditions and insure a more rapid recovery time. The Erbium: YAG, for instance, banishes wrinkles with greater precision and allows you to return to work much sooner. Other advanced laser systems have dramatically improved the art of hair removal, and revolutionized the treatment of spider veins by virtually erasing them from the face and legs.

We regularly upgrade our array of lasers to bring you the best technologies in the world today. To determine if you are a candidate for laser surgery, please call our office at (212) 688-JUVA for a consultation or go to the 'Contact Us' page of this website.

Among our current laser systems are:


Affirm Laser:

The Affirm Laser is the newest fractioned resurfacing technology to remove wrinkles, improve skin and texture, and pigmentation. It has a wavelength of 1440nm. Unlike other lasers, this new innovative laser has a new headpiece with a grid that allows part of the skin to be treated like an ablative resurfacing laser. With this new technology, you can get the benefits of resurfacing laser without the down time that is associated with it. After treatment, your skin will have some redness and swelling for a few hours that can be covered with make-up.

Cynergy:

The Cynergy Multiplex combines the versatile wavelengths of the 595 nm pulsed dye laser and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in a single unit to treat undesirable vascular malformations and other conditions.  It is the first laser device that can produce two wavelengths from the same handpiece sequentially, or produce each wavelength separately.  The first wavelength, usually the 595 nm pulsed dye laser, alters the targeted hemoglobin in treated vessels to methemoglobin, which is more susceptible to treatment with the 1064 nm wavelength.The synchronized pulses of each laser allow for reduced energies to be delivered, which should minimize side effects such as bruising, swelling, and pain.  The pulse timing in the MultiPlex mode can also be altered depending on the depth of the lesion. The sequential pulses are delivered more rapidly for more superficial vascular lesions, and with a much longer delay for deeper lesions to prevent overheating. This revolutionary laser efficiently treats a complete range of vascular lesions including broken blood vessels, rosacea, port-wine stains, spider veins on the face and trunk, and leg veins.

Ultrapulse CO2 Laser:

A 10,600 nm infrared light laser which targets water in the skin. This laser is used for skin resurfacing to remove wrinkles, sunspots, sun damage and acne, traumatic and surgical scars. It produces tightening of the skin by causing collagen shrinkage.

Erbium:YAG Laser:

A 2940 nm infrared light laser which targets water in the skin. The newest and most precise, superficial skin resurfacing laser to remove wrinkles, sunspots, sun damage and acne scars. Recovery time is rapid and redness clears faster than with previous lasers used for these purposes.

Excimer Laser:

A 308 nm UVB light laser that is used for targeted phototherapy. It is used primarily for conditions such localized psoriasis and vitiligo.

Gentle Wave LED Laser:

A light emitting diode laser system that uses variable wavelengths of light for skin rejuvenation. It is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, freckles, sunspots, scars, and redness.

IPL:

A laser system that uses different wavelengths of intense pulse light to treat various skin disorders including spider veins, rosacea, sunspots, mottled pigmentation, melasma. It is also used for non-ablative facial rejuvenation.

LightSheer Diode Laser:

An 800 nm light laser which targets the pigment in hair follicles. This laser is used to remove excess, unwanted facial and body hair. It is one of the first lasers to achieve long term and permanent hair reduction.

Sciton Micropeel Laser:

The Sciton Micropeel laser is a 2940 nm Erbium:Yag laser with advanced technology that allows the physician to precisely control the depth of the laser beam penetration into the skin through a computer-controlled scanner.  Treatment depths range from 10 microns, which is similar to a glycolic acid peel, up to 120 microns, for a full resurfacing effect.  In the laser peel mode, treatment is limited to the epidermis (10-50 microns) and requires minimal downtime for the patient.  A series of three to six laser peels is usually performed every two weeks. Conditions that can be treated include fine lines, wrinkles, dark rings under the eyes, and acne scars. Deeper lines and wrinkles can be treated with laser resurfacing, which requires 5-7 days of downtime. A single treatment can obtain the desired result.

Q-Switched Frequency Doubled Nd: YAG 532 Laser:

A 532 nm Q-switched green light laser which targets melanin and red ink tattoos. This laser is primarily used to treat age spots, sunspots, liver spots and red tattoos.
[back to top]

Q-Switched Frequency Doubled Nd: YAG 1064 Laser:

A 1064 nm Q-switched infrared light laser which targets melanin, and black and blue tattoos. Physicians treat various types of moles, such as Nevus of Ota and Ito, and black and blue tattoos with this laser.

Smoothbeam Laser:

The Smoothbeam laser is FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles, back acne and acne scars. It allows for "lunchtime procedures" with NO DOWNTIME since it employs quick non-ablative treatment. It is one of the newest devices used for laser photorejuvenation. The Smoothbeam laser is a 1450nm diode laser equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device, which effectively cools and protects the epidermis with each laser pulse.

Titan Laser:

A 1100 to 1800 nm infrared light laser that uniformly heats the collagen beneath the skin to produce tightening effect. It is used to treat lax skin on the body including the jawline, chin, neck, and abdomen.

Triactive Laser:

A new laser system that combines cooling, laser diodes, and rhythmic suction massage to treat cellulite. It is the first laser to effectively treat cellulite.
[back to top]

V-Beam Laser:

The Vbeam laser is used to treat vascular lesions including facial vessels, leg veins, port-wine stains, hemangiomas, angiomas, and scars, stretch marks, periorbital wrinkles and warts. It is a 595nm pulsed dye laser equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device, which effectively cools and protects the epidermis with each laser pulse. This newer version of pulsed dye laser technology does not cause bruising, and therefore NO DOWNTIME, as seen with earlier versions of this type of laser.

 PRESS RELEASE

TIGHTEN-UP AT JUVA SKIN & LASER CENTER
 
- Zap sagging skin in style with the Titan -
 
NEW YORKMen and women can effectively attack the early signs of aging with the Titan, the first light-based solution for deep skin tightening. At the luxurious JUVA Skin & Laser Center in midtown Manhattan, patients are popping in for a quick tightening to proactively treat sagging skin.
The Titan is a non-surgical procedure that uses safe, infrared light to tighten collagen in the skin’s dermis. The Titan can reduce sagging jowls, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and sagging skin in the neck, chest, upper arms, abdomen, hands, thighs, elbows, and knees.
JUVA Skin & Laser Center founder and director Dr. Bruce Katz recommends three to four treatments for optimal results. “Titan developers have perfected this method of skin tightening,” said Dr. Katz. “The Titan is less painful and much more effective than Thermage or any other tightening treatment currently on the market.”
Patients who receive Titan treatments experience little to no downtime; normal activities may be resumed immediately. A topical anesthetic is placed on the treatment area twenty minutes prior to treating to reduce the laser’s heat.  
            “Many of our patients come in at the first sign of sagging,” said Dr. Katz. “They do not need a facelift or are unwilling to spend the recovery time or experience the discomfort associated with surgery.”
SMOOTHE CELLULITE IN LUXURY
 
- JUVA Skin & Laser Center offers an effective non-invasive
method for smoothing dimpled skin -
 
            NEW YORK -- For a quick and easy way to reduce the appearance of cellulite without going under the knife, visit JUVA Skin & Laser Center, NYC’s premier medical spa located in midtown Manhattan. JUVA offers TriActive LaserDermology treatments, a non-invasive and painless system for treating cellulite. 
The TriActive uses a three-pronged approach to smoothing skin: a laser to break up fat deposits beneath the skin, or suction massage, to stimulate circulation and reposition the cells, and a cooling system to neutralize the heat from the laser. Sixteen sessions are recommended for ideal results. Along with smoother skin, patients may experience weight loss and reduced inches around the waist, thighs, and arms.
            “The TriActive is the perfect treatment for anyone looking to make total body changes,” said Dr. Bruce Katz, founder and director of JUVA Skin & Laser Center. “There’s no downtime and many find the treatments soothing. A lot of patients even fall asleep on the table.”
            The TriActive is FDA-cleared for the treatment of cellulite and for therapeutic massage.    “We have received an extremely high patient satisfaction rate with TriActive treatments,” said Dr. Katz. “It has become a cornerstone of services offered at JUVA.”
