Candela's Pulse Dye Laser is attracted to red pigmentations in the skin, making it a great option for the treatment of facial Spider Veins, Rosacea and Poikiloderma (redness of the neck), Port Wine Stains, Hemangiomas and Angiomas, scarring, bruising, and even Warts.

The Pulse Dye Laser works by delivering an intense but gentle burst of light into selectivley targeted areas of the skin. Candela's dynamic cooling method, which delivers a cooling mist on the skin before the laser pulses, provides patients with added comfort, helps protect the skin, and minimizes side effects like redness. Factors such as age, color, location, and type of lesion will determine the settings used during treatment as each condition and each individual is unique.

Results as well as permancy of those results, will vary depending on the condition being treated and the number of treatments required for clearance. Most patients will notice results starting right away. It is recomended to avoid direct sun exopsure before and throughout treament to maximize results. Sunblock of SPF 30 or higher is to be worn daily during the treatment process.

He wants to have surgery but I feel he is too young.

November 19th

My 8-year-old son is constantly teased because of his large ears. He wants to have surgery but I feel he is too young, is still growing and may regret having surgery in the future. What can I say to him to deter him from wanting this?

Obviously, a decision to have surgery on a child's ears should be a well informed decision and something that both the parents and the child wish to proceed forward with. In our experience, children at the age of 5 or older are good candidates for the surgery. This is the age when they begin to experience some degree of teasing at school and become more aware of their body image. At the same time the ears themselves have grown to close to their final adult size and therefore the surgery can be done safely and effectively at this age.

One of my ears has always been slightly larger than the other.

One of my ears has always been slightly larger than the other. I now have the financial ability to undergo otoplasty to fix my issue. What is the usual recovery time for such a procedure so that I can give my job notification?

Typically the recovery after otoplasty is approximately one week. There still may be some residual tenderness and mild degree of swelling after the procedure however most patients are able to return to work after one week.
