Steiner Ranch Dermatology announced the addition of Isolaz, a revolutionary light-based treatment for eliminating acne, removing unwanted hair and rejuvenating aging and sun-damaged skin."The start of the new year is often a time when people resolve to remove barriers to happiness and confidence," said Dr. Ted Lain, Steiner Ranch Dermatology. "While there are a number of effective ways to prevent and reduce signs of acne, some patients need a little extra help. This new technology gives patients a powerful way to achieve clearer, healthier skin more quickly and more easily than ever before."Through the combination of a vacuum and broadband light to cleanse and refresh pores, this technology represents the only light-based treatment for acne with 3 distinct advantages over less advanced laser-based solutions: it is painless, delivers overnight results and enables patients to resume normal activities immediately after treatment.As the only FDA-approved system for both comedonal and pustular acne, the new approach is broadly effective, capable of quickly and dramatically clearing acne for the vast majority of patients, even those traditionally non-responsive to treatment.Steiner Ranch Dermatology is dedicated to providing patients with the broadest possible range of safe and effective treatment options for skin conditions ranging from acne and rashes to skin cancers and sun damage.

Acne And Rosacea Getting You Down? Laser, Light And Cosmetic Treatments Give Patients A Much-Needed Boost

It is estimated that approximately 50 million people in the United States alone are affected by acne vulgaris, and another 14 million Americans experience the redness, flushing and pronounced blood vessels associated with rosacea. While there are no cures for these persistent skin conditions, dermatologists are broadening their treatment options to include laser, light and cosmetic therapies that are proving effective in managing these conditions and improving patient satisfaction.

Tasha might be flying along when suddenly she feels a little lift under her wings and – aha! – starts to understand. The elevator is going up, and she is on it. The next time may not be quite so accidental, and, according to Dunne, she may even keep an eye out for the airborne dust and rising debris that indicate a thermal. She may also be on the lookout for other raptors that have been scouting thermals. In this manner, lifting and soaring, Tasha made her way along the coast to a barrier island in North Carolina, where near-hurricane winds forced her to lay low for a couple of days. Having watched ospreys on the marshes of Cape Cod during northeasters, I tried to imagine how Tasha would have responded to the storm. Though ospreys look large, their hollow bones give them little ballast; most actually weigh less than 4 pounds.
