Utilizing specific wavelengths to target various chromophores in the skin enables effective treatment of a variety of conditions, including vascular lesions, skin photoaging treatments and hair removal.
Broad spectrum pulsed light is transmitted through a continuously cooled applicator, gently placed over the skin. Cut-off filters in the handpiece change the range of wavelengths, optimizing it for different applications and skin types. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the relevant chromophores and damages them (blood chromophores when treating vascular lesions and melanin chromophores when treating pigmented lesions). The body’s natural processes then clear the lesion debris, giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance.

Dry Eye Therapy
Whether mild, moderate, or severe, dry eye syndrome can be disabling. Feelings of “heavy” eyes, difficulty keeping the eyes open, and watery eyes are all common symptoms. Burning, stinging sensations while reading, or vision that becomes blurry while doing visual tasks are also symptoms related to dry eye syndrome. “Get the red out” eye drops should never be used for dry eye, as they can make things worse. Artificial tears can work temporarily to alleviate dry symptoms. A structured approach with a treatment tailored to an individual’s specific type of dry eye syndrome is the most effective means of therapy. Baltimore Eye Physicians has its own Dry Eye Clinic specifically designed to accurately diagnose and treat this prevalent condition.
Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation uses lasers, intense pulsed light, or photodynamic therapy to treat skin conditions and effects of photoaging such as wrinkles, spots, and textures.
Sunspot Removal
Sunspots are discolorations on the skin related to aging and UV exposure from. They vary in color and are located in areas most often exposed to the sun.
