Laser hair removal can be achieved by a cosmetic procedure called CoolGlide. This procedure is a non-invasive laser purposely intended to get rid of unwanted hair from any part of your body. The CoolGlide laser can get rid hair from parts of your body like your face, arms, underarms, chest, back, and legs.
Laser hair removal was created to eliminate hair with highly concentrated beams of light that are attracted to the melanin, or dark pigment, of the hair.
The hand-held laser is positioned next to your skin, which then activates it, the laser light produces an intense heat that damages the hair follicle, slowing, even stopping future hair growth within that follicle, without causing damage to the surrounding tissue.

Dr. Newman developed a unique approach to all patient care during his journey to become Board Certified in General Surgery, in that he treats all patients as though they were his own brother, sister, mother, or father. By doing so, no recommendation he makes to patients deviates from what he would recommend to his own family member. He has continued this philosopy into his practice of plastic surgery which can be challenging at times because having plastic surgery can be such an emotional endeavor for patients.
Having plastic surgery is a personal, emotional decision for all patients. While there are many factors that are taken into consideration in choosing your plastic surgeon, be sure to choose one with which you feel comfortable. Most plastic surgery practices try to sell services to patients without listening to what the patient desires. We are not salesmen at Florida Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. Whether you are looking for breast implants, unsure about liposuction versus tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), or simply need treatment of sun damaged skin and skin cancer, we listen to your concerns, provide you with options, and assist you in the decision making process.
