The Palomar Starlux 500 system is a very versatile, state of the art laser and light platform in use at Southeastern Dermatology Consultants. Making use of the Intense Pulse Light (IPL) hand pieces, dermatologists are able to improve the patient’s pigment irregularities. For instance, and IPL treatment known as a photofacial can readily improve brown pigmentation and the redness caused by small superficial vessels.

Other handpieces are used to perform permanent hair reduction, fractional laser resurfacing, as well as the treatment of spider veins. Dr. Doppelt of Southeastern Dermatology Consultants offers Smart Lipo, which is a laser assisted micro cannula liposuction performed under local anesthesia.

Dr. Doppelt is very excited to announce the addition of the Smooth Shapes laser cellulite treatment device to the Knoxville area. Southeastern Dermatology Consultants is the areas exclusive provider of this remarkable new treatment.. This non invasive, dual laser device is the first FDA approved laser for the treatment of cellulite. A Smooth Shapes treatment is non-invasive and essentially painless. A series of six to eight treatments in an area, which will require two treatments per week, will provide the patient with impressive and lasting results. Dermatologists have observed circumferential thigh reduction of one to three centimeters in patients who have undergone the full course. The Smooth Shapes device can also be used on the abdomen and is being used in conjunction with Smart Lipo. Another new device used at the Southeastern Dermatology Consultants is the Omnilux Photo Therapy Unit. This photo therapy unit uses different LED (light emitting diode) treatment heads to perform what is known as Photo Modulation. This treatment is excellent for treating acne and rosacea. It can also be used to carry out Photo Dynamic Therapy. When using photo dynamic therapy, a photosensitizing medication (Metvixia or Levulan) is applied to the areas in need of treatment. Then, after an incubation period which can last from one to three hours, the Omnilux light source is used to activate the medication used. This treatment is excellent at removing pre-cancerous lesions known as actinic keratoses. It is also an excellent treatment for photo rejuvenation, severe acne, and excessively oily skin.
