For dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners needing to safely and comfortably remove vascular and pigmented lesions, one device is proving to be a workhorse that practices can rely on. Used daily to treat a range of patient concerns, including, and 
dermatosis papulosa nigras (DPN), practitioners report that the DermaLight solid state KTP Laser System from NewSurg (Bucks County, Penn.) has expanded their aesthetic treatment portfolios. Moreover, it is an affordable and reliable solution that provides a long, repair-free life with no need for expensive part replacements.
“DermaLight is a compact and solid device and has an impressively quick startup time,” reported dermatologist Philp Loria, MD (Oxford, Miss.). “From the time I turn it on until I use it is only about 15 to 20 seconds. Treatments are fast and efficient, as I can do 350 pulses in about three to four minutes, and that means less time in the treatment room. For example, treatments for mild to moderate acne only take around three minutes compared to ten minutes with my old device. Because of its affordability and efficiency my practice enjoys an excellent return on investment (ROI) with DermaLight.”
Dr. Loria uses his DermaLight every day. “I have a very large dermatology practice, but if my patients have telangiectasia vessels on the nose, or rosacea, as a dermatologist I feel I should be able to do something about that without sending them to a cosmetic practice,” Dr. Loria continued. “For a very reasonable price, DermaLight allows me to treat some cosmetic concerns quickly, easily, safely and inexpensively, making it a perfect laser for my practice.”
DermaLight precisely removes vascular and pigmented lesions with no collateral tissue damage because the 532 nm wavelength is preferentially absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and melanin, resulting in predictable and safe treatments with no downtime or need for anesthetics.
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Aaron Shapiro, MD (Bryn Mawr and Philadelphia, Penn.) takes advantage of the efficacy of DermaLight to complement his surgical practice. “I use it every day for telangiectasia, rosacea and for angiomas,” he reported. “We also use it routinely whenever there is 
any kind of neovascularization or erythema around an incision site requiring scar revision.
“I often use DermaLight post-surgery because it is very common for patients to get neovascularization around the incision site as the wound is healing and new blood vessels are growing in, leading to redness or erythema,” Dr. Shapiro clarified. “Therefore, once the incision is completely healed, I will check the affected area to see if it is still red or if there are any little blood vessels around the incision site. If so, I offer DermaLight because it helps blend in the incision markings of the surrounding tissue.”
DermaLight has a Windows-based color touch screen and preset protocols to ensure optimal control and predictable treatment results. With its MultiSpot Handpiece and wireless footswitch, this laser has the features that today’s dermatologists, cosmetic physicians and their staff appreciate without the need for any disposables, dye kit replacements or expensive service contracts.
