Robert A. Weiss, MD

Dr. Robert Weiss and his associate Julie took the time to explain the laser to be used and the process to treat veins. They answered all of my questions and delivered exceptional service. I have been going to Dr. Weiss for years, and have never had anything less than successful results and the BEST patient care.

Dr. Weiss is extraordinary. He is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He takes the time to listen to any concerns and explains each procedure thoroughly. His techniques and recommendations are based on his expansive knowledge. He is a true Picasso who has perfected the art of maintaining a natural youthful appearance with every procedure he performs. His office staff and team of professionals are also amazing - Julie G. is exceptional and has been a tremendous source of knowledge, very helpful, professional, and friendly. Thank you for the many years of successful treatments!

I am a 21 year old male who received 5 treatments (over 6 1/2 month span) of Cutera Excel V for my facial flushing and blood vessels. I suffer from a rare conditions known as erythromelalgia (for me: face, feet, hands) which causes flushing and may appear as excessive rosacea. I walked in expecting V-Beam but received Cutera instead and to my surprise after 5 treatments and 5 months later my condition has improved significantly. I still have permanent rosiness but it is sooooo much better than before. No more apparent blood vessels and best of all no more burning! Excellent pricing as well only $325 for both full cheeks, nose, and he included acne control using laser genesis.

This is more a post op helpful info, as I just had this done yesterday and before I came I wasn’t prepared with the research I did about what to expect….and I think there needs to be more info..Please buy atleast 2 pairs of the tight spandex biker shorts that aren’t soo tight u cant breathe but that they will hold pads because you will need to stick maxi pads on your butt! You will have leakage of blood and fluids…but mostly blood….yuck…and your pants will get wet and wear dark pants for the first 4 days .It hasn’t been 24 hours yet but man I wish I stayed home because Im stuffed with pads and had to wear dark pants and a long shirt to cover my butt so people wouldn’t see LOL..you will leak blood..now this sounds nuts but they gave me depends and man those were a help at night…lol so if u can buy some do it! I drove home I was fine and Im fine now a it of stinging but I can walk fine and I also had my outer thighs done too as I had 3 simples on each side..as I type this I can feel more fluid leaking out…gross..and yes its blood too so it smells… thank god I have a desk job!! So PLEASE PLEASE,if u want to do this do it on a darn Friday or take atleast the next day off to allow all the nasty fluid crap to come out… and I wouldn’t do it close to summer I was told that they wont even take post op pics for 3 months which makes sense to give it time…so I should have done it 2 months ago but o well…yes bruising sucks and yes you’ll get these hard [parts on the skin..its normal..
So your pre op shopping list-- cheap thick maxi pads, 2 biker shorts or thigh slimmers not too tight, depends for night time ( tho Dr should send u home with some mine did..they sent me home with all this stuff) oh and mins also gave me a few of the pads that look like puppy pads to put down and THANK GOD for those I leaked in my car **you will leak through the shorts so wear black) and I used one in bed… plus a towel.. leakage leakage leakage ladies..its all about the stinky leakage the first 2-3 days…


My Dr office was very nice and they were part of the original trial so that helped, he told me all about it…I found him thru here and thank god he was only 45 minutes away!

love that I can state a problem ti Dr,Robert Weiss and he always has an answer with a solution.

I turned 54 in June (2014) and looked pretty good then. Friends were regularly remarking how great I looked at 54. Fast-forward to 5 months later, and the effects of sudden stressor in my life -- the loss of a parent, ballooning workload, big problems in my husband's family, big problems in my family, has created lots of stress made worse by worrying, sadness, lack of sleep, not eating right and so on. Unfortunately, the cumulative effects of all this stress has had a negative impact on my face. Bottom line is, oxidative stress causes cell death in humans and directly contributes to our aging process. It certainly seems to be my situation.

The effects of Voluma are really apparent at 2-weeks out. It also helps to get quality sleep, stay positive, eat right and drink water, which I have been doing. I think a combination of these things have made a significant improvement in my how my face looks!

Here's another photo taken on 12/5 - the improvement is clear! Again, the combination of the Voluma, rest, drinking water and eating right have really helped to improve my otherwise tired, drawn and aged face!

It's been about a year since my November 2014 Voluma treatment. I had another round of Voluma 9/30/15. Things are still looking pretty good!

It has been 4 months after my last Voluma Treatment. In that time, I've been through hell and back. As a consequence of enduring numerous personal issues, I developed terrible health problems in response to all the stress. BUT we survived, and things are getting back to normal now. Let me tell you, friends.... stress is the WORST thing for our happiness - AND our good looks -- as we ALL know too well! I am now back on track, back at the gym, getting good rest, drinking lots of water (I make spa water - frozen organic mixed fruit mixed with water), eating much better (cooking a LOT at home), taking long soaks in the tub using my homemade bath bombs (WORK WONDERS), taking long walks, using the sauna at the gym, getting in-touch with my spiritual side, meditating, staying positive, etc.... All of these things are so important. While I'm not completely out of the woods, I look - and feel much better already. My best to you all!

LLLLLLL

Excellent results, my skin feels smoother and less uneven after only one treatment. I had minimal redness on my cheeks (where I had the laser treatment) for only the night of the procedure, and it was gone by the next day. It was painless and required no after-care whatsoever. I will definitely be getting more of these treatments, I was told about 3-4 would achieve the most optimal results, which is exciting because I can already see a difference with 1!

I went to the Maryland Laser & Vein Institute today, 08/22/13, and I was extremely pleased with the overall experience. I had a condition called Venous Lakes, so I was very pleased to hear about Dr. Robert Weiss, and this laser institute since they have 51 lasers, and years of experience with them. The one that was used on my lip is the Excel V, the lastest and newest long pulse laser from Cutera. I was looking for a Doctor like Robert Weiss, who has had over 30 years as a dermatologist, and is probably one of the most recognized laser specialists in the United States. He knew just what to do with my particular vascular condition, and although the results will not become apparent for a few more weeks, I have every confidence in Dr.Weiss' skills that my vein will no longer be visible on my lip.

I was also impressed with his staff, from Linda on the front desk, to his special assistant, Julie, who explained what was going to take place and assisted the Doctor during the procedure.

l live in Virginia, and it was very much worth the drive to have my procedure done by Dr. Weiss. Let me also add, that his wife, Dr. Margaret Weiss is also a highly regarded and well-known laser surgeon, with an MD degree from Princeton. There is also another partner, Dr. Karen Beasley, who is also a well know specialist in the laser field.

Regardless of which of the three doctors you decide to have work on your skin, I believe you will be very pleased with your experience at the Maryland Laser & Vein Institute. Two things are important when working with lasers: having a skilled doctor, and the correct laser for the procedure. At this Institute, you have both under one roof.

Wonderful Experience - Hunt Valley, MD

It made me look rested while still looking completely natural!
