We currently offer microdermabrasion, BOTOX ®, Restylane®, chemical peels and laser therapy for hair, brown spot and vein removal. Finally, we also offer a complete line of dermatologic products in our office including Kinerase, Replenix Fortified Exfoliation System, Solvere Four Step Acne Clearing Kit, and ELTA Moisturizers and Sunscreens.

Our office also offers Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). In this exciting and “wave of the future” treatment, a topical ointment is applied to the skin for 30 to 90 minutes and is then removed. Patients then receive 20 minutes of painless, in-office blue light or red light to the treated area. Sunscreens are applied and vigorous sun avoidance is required for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. This is a truly amazing treatment for acne, actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous lesions) and sun damage. Dr. Finkel is a member of the The American Society of Photodynamic Therapy and keeps current with this exciting branch of Dermatology. Click here to read more about this treatment.

The Omnilux Blue Light Acne and Red LightTreatment is an excellent pain-free, non-invasive treatment for moderate inflammatory acne for all age groups. It effectively targets acne-causing bacteria without thermally affecting surrounding tissues. There are no known side effects and in my opinion, this can be a first line therapy for those who cannot or do not want to take oral antibiotics. This treatment can clear most moderate inflammatory acne in as little as 8 sessions (twice a week for 20 minutes for 4 weeks) but it is important to adhere to the recommended treatment plan for maximum results. Treatment sessions can be scheduled conveniently after school so bring your CD player!!!


Now is the best time to treat unsightly leg veins. We remove these with sclerotherapy and laser treatments. There is some short-term bruising and it is best to have these procedures done in cooler, pants-wearing weather.

Silk Peel ™ DermalInfusion
Silk Peel’s DermalInfusion is the most dynamic skin treatment available today. It is the only procedure that provides both non-invasive exfoliation and delivery of skin-specific topical solutions under pressure, leaving patients with fresher-feeling and better-looking skin. It is safe and painless, allowing patients to reap the benefits on an accelerated basis without the complications and discomfort usually associated with microdermabrasion, chemical peels, lasers and other invasive treatments.

Facial Chemical Peels
The Vitalize Peel™ from SkinMedica brings the benefit of alpha-hydroxy and retinoic acids in a unique blend to create one of the strongest, but safest and most gentle peels. Even after one peel, you will begin to notice a dramatic improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, lessening of superficial lines and a healthier, more youthful look and feel. The renewal process has been clinically proven to help pigmentation problems (such as age spots) fade and stimulate collagen production in the cells underneath. The Vitalize Peel™ is safe and gentle for all skin types.

Omnilux is a medical device that utilizes LED technology.

Omnilux benefits anyone suffering with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Each treatment session will take approximately 20 minutes. You will experience a feeling of relaxation and well-being during and after the treatment. You can resume your normal routine following the treatment.

Laser Hair Removal
The primary benefits of laser hair removal include (1) larger areas may be treated with less discomfort than with waxing, electrolysis or tweezing (2) works on almost any area of the body where a hair-free appearance is desired (3) allows treatment of a wide range of skin types and hair colors. Our laser generates a beam of intense, concentrated light which is directed through a small handpiece to the treatment site. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair causing selective damage to the follicle.

>> back to top >>

Laser Brown Spot and Vein Removal
A laser generates an intense beam of light. This beam brings energy to a specific site, through a small handpiece connected to the laser console. The laser is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (bright red blood cells carrying oxygen) and melanin/pigment (black or brown pigment found in the skin) causing decomposition or destruction by heat of unwanted cells while leaving healthy cells intact. The treatment is quick, comfortable and effective.
