Laser Procedures
Laser technology has transformed non-surgical facial enhancement, offering precise, customizable solutions for skin concerns that once required surgery or aggressive topical regimens. Modern lasers can resurface aged or sun-damaged skin, soften scars, treat broken capillaries, fade pigmentation, remove unwanted hair, and erase tattoos and birthmarks — often with little to no downtime. By delivering controlled wavelengths of light energy to specific layers of the skin, lasers can produce dramatic improvements in tone, texture, and clarity in as little as one treatment.
Dr. Maurice Khosh offers a comprehensive range of laser procedures at his Park Avenue practice in New York City. Dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Khosh is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a Clinical Assistant Professor at Columbia University. He has authored book chapters on facial plastic surgery published by Oxford University Press, Thieme, and McGraw Hill, and has served on the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery’s Board Examination and Continuing Education Committees — contributing to the national standards of practice for surgeons in his field. With three decades of experience treating the facial skin surgically and non-surgically, Dr. Khosh brings calibrated technical judgment to every laser treatment — selecting the right wavelength, depth, and density for each patient’s skin type, concerns, and tolerance for downtime.
How Lasers Rejuvenate the Skin
A laser produces a focused beam of light at a specific wavelength that is selectively absorbed by a target chromophore in the skin — water for resurfacing lasers, melanin for pigmentation and hair removal lasers, and hemoglobin for vascular lasers. When the targeted tissue absorbs the light, it converts the energy to heat, producing controlled cellular changes while leaving surrounding structures intact. Depending on the type of laser used, this process can vaporize the outermost damaged skin cells, stimulate the deeper dermis to produce new collagen, shrink superficial blood vessels, or break down pigment for the body to clear naturally.
“With lasers, the calibration matters as much as the technology. The same device used at different settings can produce subtle skin refresh or substantial correction — and the calibration depends entirely on the patient’s skin type, concerns, and goals. There is no single setting that works for everyone.” — Dr. Maurice Khosh
Conditions Treated with Laser Procedures
Dr. Khosh uses laser procedures to address a wide range of aesthetic and skin-related concerns, including:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Resurfacing lasers stimulate collagen and smooth the surface of the skin
- Sun Damage and Photoaging: Targeted wavelengths fade brown spots, uneven tone, and the visible effects of cumulative sun exposure
- Acne Scars and Texture Irregularities: Fractional lasers refine pitted or uneven skin by triggering controlled remodeling
- Surgical and Traumatic Scars: Calibrated laser treatments can soften the appearance of scars from prior surgery or injury
- Vascular Irregularities: Specialized lasers target broken capillaries, diffuse redness, and small visible vessels
- Unwanted Hair: Laser hair removal selectively targets pigmented hair follicles for long-term reduction
- Tattoos and Birthmarks: Precise wavelengths can break down pigment for gradual fading and clearance
Laser Modalities Offered
Each laser modality is suited to different skin concerns, and many patients benefit from a combination of treatments tailored to their individual needs:
- CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Fractional ablative resurfacing for deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and significant photoaging
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Multi-wavelength light therapy for sun damage, redness, and uneven pigmentation
- Laser Skin Rejuvenation: A range of ablative and non-ablative options to refresh tone, texture, and overall skin clarity
- Laser Hair Removal: Targeted treatment of unwanted hair on the face, neck, and body
- Scar, Tattoo, and Birthmark Treatment: Customized laser approaches for pigment- and texture-based concerns
