Introduction
The Gentle Max- Pro Alexandrite laser is a popular and effective tool for addressing pigmented lesions, including birthmarks, freckles, and moles. The Alex laser is considered a gold-standard skin rejuvenation procedure that can help boost confidence and peace of mind. Our team at Tania Cohen Dermatology is proud to offer this innovative technology to our patients in and beyond the Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, locations.
The Alex laser utilizes Alexandrite crystal as a light source, producing a unique wavelength that is highly effective in removing vascular lesions, unwanted hair, and old tattoos. It has the ability to cover large areas quickly and is effective in combating dark spots, moles, melasma, age spots, birthmarks, and other blemishes. While the Alex laser is extremely powerful, it only targets the treatment areas, leaving the surrounding healthy skin cells perfectly intact.
The Alex laser is a versatile skincare solution typically recommended for patients with unwanted vascular lesions, excessive hair, or old tattoos they would like to have removed. To qualify, patients need to be in good health and have realistic expectations for improvement rather than perfection. Individuals with dark hair and lighter skin (Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV) tend to experience the best outcomes. Tania Cohe, DMSc, PA, will conduct a personalized consultation to ensure that the Alex laser is the best solution for achieving your unique aesthetic vision.
Our customized Alex laser sessions in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, provide patients with a wealth of compelling benefits, including the following:
To get started on your unique cosmetic journey at Tania Cohen Dermatology in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, you will first need to undergo a consultation with Tania Cohen DMSc, PA-C, and her team. This first visit includes a thorough discussion of your aesthetic goals, a response to all your questions, and an in-depth review of your medical history to make sure no contraindications are present that could make treatment unsafe for you. The doctor will also make sure you fully understand the risks, downtime, costs, and projected outcome for your Alex laser session. Once you have been approved for treatment, we will schedule your procedure date and offer a few preparation guidelines to help make your visit seamless and relaxing.
On the day of your Alex laser session, we will welcome you into our state-of-the-art facility in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, and briefly review your treatment plan, going over any last-minute concerns. We will fit you with protective eye goggles and cleanse and numb the skin. The laser is then passed over the targeted skin regions, which can feel like the gentle snap of a rubber band against the skin. Most patients find the treatment to be tolerable and anxiety-free.
After your Alex laser treatment, we will provide itemized aftercare instructions to help you navigate the healing process. Mild redness, swelling, and a sensation like a sunburn are common side effects. Dark spots may form that slough off with time. Most patients can expect to resume normal activities right away. Post-procedure, you should avoid exposure to the sun, keep the treatment area clean and dry, and use the skincare products indicated by Tania Cohen, DMSc, PA-C.
The cost of an Alex laser treatment in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT varies depending on several factors. These include the size of the targeted regions, the extent of your concerns, and whether your session is combined with other procedures. Tania Cohen DMSc, PA, will make sure you receive a detailed and individualized price quote upon the completion of your private consultation.
