Best laser treatments? I have a pacemaker

Question

Could a doctor recommend a laser treatment without radiofrequency energy sources please.....I would so appreciate this. I am looking to have Pixel Q-switch (is this safe) but because I have a pacemaker I need to avoid certain lasers. Thank you so much in advance.

Hello Sharlyn,I would recommend a 2940, such as the Alma Pixel 2940.  As long as the treatment is not on your chest and there are no other contraindications, this will be a good treatment for you.  Being upfront with your medical history and medications will help the medical professional doing the procedure ensure that your treatment is as safe and effective as possible without compromising your health.All the best,Carlos Mata MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Great question! Any true laser or IPL/BBL will be safe, although you should discuss the specifics with your physician. The real issue is what are you trying to improve in your skin? That should be the guiding thought when it comes to choosing your laser. In our practice, we've found the combination of BBL and Halo (for moderate downtime) or full field resurfacing (for maximal results) tend to make most people the happiest.
