Prepare For Spring With LightSheer Hair Removal

Lets take a look at your routine, now imagine removing shaving, plucking, tweezing, and waxing. Sure, you might not spend multiple hours every week fooling around with hair removal, however the time you do spend on hair maintenance can be history. Thus, giving you one less thing to think about.

Men and women alike can now make unwanted facial or body hair a thing of the past and forget about painful waxing, electrolysis and razors. Dr. Jerry Cooper performs LightSheer hair removal for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Emory, Lilburn and Tucker, for the treatment of unwanted hair. 



The LightSheer system presents a revolution in hair removal. Using technology beyond that of other lasers, the LightSheer can disable hundreds of hair follicles in less than one second. The procedure is computer-guided and promises long-lasting results.

Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. LightSheer delivers light energy non-invasively to hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, LightSheer can effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis.

As seen on Dr. Oz, we now offer Coolsculpting and are booking appointments for mid-January. Schedule your free consultation 
now for the newest, non-invasive procedure to get rid 
of unwanted bulges and love handles! 

You’re physically fit and your weight is stable. You have a healthy diet and lifestyle. But, no matter how much you exercise or diet, you have lumps, bumps and bulges you can’t get rid of. Most people face the frustrating truth of it every day: Love handles – those pesky bulges of fat near the waistband and hips. Not much, but just enough. These small areas of fat don’t seem to warrant a surgical procedure. But you’re tempted. What else can you do?

Now you can experience Coolsculpting. A team of scientists and physicians developed the procedure to address the concerns of people like you. This revolutionary procedure uses a precisely controlled cooling method call Cryolipolysis to target, cool, and eliminate fat cells without damage to neighboring tissue. After a one-to-three-hour Coolsculpting procedure at Atlanta Dermatology & Laser Surgery, your body goes to work. Over the next two to four months, the crystallized fat cells break down and they are naturally flushed from your body.

What are spider and varicose veins?

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are those tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower legs of women. They are hereditary and can form anywhere on the leg, from the top of the thigh to the ankle. Occasionally, spider veins appear on the face. Varicose veins are larger. They can appear raised with a bluish color and can become quite painful.

Dr. Jerry Cooper performs a simple office procedure called Sclerotherapy for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody and Decatur, to permanently eliminate or minimize your spider veins and varicose veins.

What are the limitations of Botox Cosmetic?

Botox Cosmetic is a temporary solution for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles. The effects of the treatments last from 3 - 6 months. Early clinical studies indicate that after receiving Botox Cosmetic over time, there appears to be a longer lasting effect. This could be due to the relaxing of the skin in that area and breaking the habit of certain facial expressions.

Radiesse For Depleted Collagen

Imagine young-looking, wrinkle-free skin. For patients with well-defined wrinkles or creases, such as the fold between their nose and mouth, most cosmetic surgeons surveyed agree that injectable fillers may be the best treatment available to date. 

Now Dr. Jerry Cooper performs RADIESSE™ injections for to provide a safe, long-lasting, treatment for deep skin folds or loss of volume in the face.

What is RADIESSE?

RADIESSE is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the last several years, RADIESSE has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials. 

RADIESSE consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth.

Photo Facial Rejuvenation

Do you think that the reflection you see in the mirror each morning matches the way you feel? Many patients wish that there was a safe, easy and quick way to get rid of their red complexion, fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and large pores. Fortunately, our advanced technologies enable us to treat these skin imperfections safely, easily and effectively.

IPL Photo Facial™ Rejuvenation

Dr. Jerry Cooper performs IPL Rejuvenation for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Emory, Lilburn and Tucker, to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in a softer, gentler way. The redness and flushing of rosacea can be reduced 80 - 90 percent. It can be used to treat the full face, neck, chest and even the hands.

Using the advanced IPL system, your doctor gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced at 3 week intervals. The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results.
The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. The redness associated with rosacea can be dramatically reduced. Brown spots are reduced or eradicated.
