Laser technology has transformed the beauty world, making facial rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, and beauty maintenance treatments easier. From laser hair removal to photo facial treatments, laser technology allows patients to achieve glowing, radiant, improved skin with less downtime, less risk, and longer-lasting results.
As a Top Plastic Surgeon in Long Island, Dr. Charlotte Ann Rhee is thrilled to offer laser procedures for patients in New York and its surrounding areas. Using Cutera Laser technology, Dr. Rhee provides the following laser procedures:
Laser Genesis
This treatment helps patients achieve a youthful appearance by treating premature signs of aging, sun damage, excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Using Cultera’s CoolGlide laser, this treatment offers permanent hair reduction, eliminating the risk of razor burn and the need for daily shaving.

This non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation treats skin redness, tiny veins, brown spots, and sun damage.
ProWave™
This removal system is an advanced method of permanently reducing unwanted facial and body hair safely and effectively.
Who Is a Candidate for Laser Treatment?
Ideal candidates for laser rejuvenation treatment are adults who are overall healthy and experiencing the following:
- Fine wrinkles
- Age spots
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Sun-damaged skin
- Mild to moderate acne scars
- Frequent razor burn, bumps, or ingrown hairs due to shaving
Laser treatments will benefit patients who have good skin elasticity and light to moderate blemishes. Patients with an active infection or autoimmune disease will not be candidates for laser treatment. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, we recommend avoiding laser procedures until after your pregnancy.
Are There Any Risks with Laser Treatment?
Like any other skin rejuvenation treatment, laser procedures can come with several risks, including:
- Redness
- Infection
- Swelling
- Changes in skin color or pigmentation
- Scarring
While redness is a common side effect of laser treatments, it is expected to heal on its own within a day or two of treatment. Under Dr. Rhee’s professional care, patients can expect to easily manage any complications from their treatment and avoid these risks overall.
How Long Do the Results Last from Laser Treatment?
Laser treatment usually contributes to results lasting up to three to five years. Because many laser procedures focus on skin rejuvenation, the frequency of treatments is important to producing the best results. When correcting facial imperfections, patients may need more than one session to see results. Laser hair removal typically requires three to six sessions before achieving complete hair removal.
