Experienced dermatologist Dr. Steven Victor has served as chief executive officer of ReGen Medical, PC, in New York City for nearly seven years. In addition to providing patients with an array of dermatologic services, Steven Victor, MD, maintains membership with numerous professional organizations, such as the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the Society of Investigative Dermatology.

The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) is a network of more than 6,000 of the country’s leading dermatologic surgeons and dermatologists. ASDS dermatologists excel at performing a number of common and advanced dermatologic procedures, including chemical peels, blepharoplasty, and dermabrasion.

During the process of dermabrasion, trained dermatologists use either a diamond tipped wheel or a wire brush to remove and cleanse the top layer of a patient’s skin. As the upper skin layer regenerates, patients can see improvement in areas affected by acne scarring, skin growths, lesions, sun damage, and much more. To learn more about the benefits of dermabrasion, contact a trusted dermatologist or visit www.asds.net.

As head of Victor Dermatology and Rejuvenation, Dr. Steven Victor guides a respected practice with a location at 460 Park Avenue in Manhattan. Over the past three decades, Dr. Steven Victor and his team of dermatologists have pioneered an “aesthetic dermatology” approach that incorporates the latest advances in the science of improving personal appearances.

One of Steven Victor, MD’s groundbreaking treatments is the Apogee Alexandrite laser, which is designed to enable quick and easy hair removal and the treatment of freckles, age spots, and skin lesions. The laser emits high energy light that destroys targeted cells through the application of directed heat.

The Apogee laser employs an alexandrite crystal, which creates light from the infrared spectrum and is thus known as a red light laser. These lasers can be configured in Q-switched mode, which involves the use of short-pulse high intensity beams. This approach is known for providing a high level of precision, with only the spot or lesion destroyed and all the surrounding healthy tissue left intact.
