Are Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments Different?
Light is powerful! Not only can light from the sun cause damage to our skin, but light-based treatments—carefully applied by skilled providers, like the team at Dermalogic Laser Center—can target that damage and prompt healing. When it comes to effective light treatments, there are two primary options: lasers and IPL. Our New Jersey-based team regularly works with both, and can explain to patients (and you) how they are similar and how they differ. Read on to learn more.
Lasers
To understand lasers, it is first important to know that light is made up of a spectrum of wavelengths, including both visible and invisible waves. Laser treatments focus a single wavelength, emitting a beam of red or blue light—for example—to accomplish a range of benefits.
This light is very powerful and quickly generates heat in the target area. Since it is so focused, it can be applied with precision to bulk heat problematic areas, such as areas with pigmentation, unwanted hair follicles, lines, wrinkles, and texture issues.
Laser light can be ablative, which means it removes layers of skin as part of the treatment process, or non-ablative, which keeps the surface intact while heating cells beneath. There are also treatments that combine both strategies into one.
Because of their focus and intensity, laser treatments are especially good for hair removal, clearing and preventing acne breakouts, reducing visible veins, minimizing scars, and more.
IPL
Unlike focused lasers, IPL treatments involve pulses of multiple wavelengths. This is sometimes referred to as a “broadband” treatment.
Because the light is made up of more than one wavelength, IPL treatments are effective for addressing larger areas, often with diffuse redness or sun damage.
The light from an IPL session typically passes through the surface and is absorbed by darker-pigmented cells below. These collections of hyperpigmentation—often the result of sun exposure years prior—are essentially pulled upward to the surface so that they can flake away in a matter of weeks.
This light can also heat the red-pigmented hemoglobin in visible blood vessels, causing the veins to seal off from the rest of the circulatory system and gradually be reabsorbed to give the surface a clearer, more even look.
Which of these two light treatments would be best for you? That depends on many factors! Happily, you do not have to determine this for yourself. Schedule a visit at Dermalogic Laser Center for a thorough and personalized consultation. You can contact us online or call 609.561.0033.

DiamondGlow Basics: A Three-in-One Approach for Beautifully Glowing and Dewy Skin
From the stars on a lovely night to a fantastic sunset, everyone loves a good glow—and the same goes for your skin. That’s why Dr. Amy Krachman and the Dermalogic Laser Center team offer customized DiamondGlow treatments for New Jersey-area women and men seeking a beautifully dewy, rejuvenated look. Treatments target various signs of aging and more to improve both texture and appearance, with results that are clinically proven. Ready to learn more? Read on …
What Is DiamondGlow®?
DiamondGlow® is a thoughtfully designed dermabrasion treatment that combines three skin-rejuvenating strategies into one.
The first strategy is exfoliation, which involves removing dead skin cells, debris, oil, and anything else that can block pores, give the skin a dull look, and cause the surface to look and feel uneven. A sophisticated diamond tip moves in a highly controlled way to take away the outermost layer, revealing the fresher layer beneath and encouraging improved circulation.
The second strategy is extraction, which pulls material from the newly opened pores for a benefit right away and clearer skin in the future. High-powered suction is effective for deep cleaning.
The third strategy involves infusing the newly opened skin with SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums selected specifically for the conditions you want to target. Since the pores are clear thanks to extraction and obstructions to permeation and absorption are removed via exfoliation, the skin is highly receptive to the beneficial ingredients.
What Are the Benefits of DiamondGlow®?
The three-in-one power of DiamondGlow® is ideal for anyone who wants to address multiple visible signs of aging, as well as loss of moisture, hyperpigmentation, general photodamage, and uneven texture. The result is a more youthful look, increased hydration, clearer skin, and a smother feel.
DiamondGlow® also supports lymphatic drainage, which helps the skin to appear less puffy, encourages the flushing of toxins, and provides a brighter overall appearance.
Another benefit? Downtime is minimal, which means you can get back to living the life you want as soon as you’d like following your session—confident in the glowing results you’ll enjoy for weeks.

Melasma: Causes and Comprehensive Treatment Options at Dermalogic
Melasma: Causes and Comprehensive Treatment Options at Dermalogic
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches to appear on the skin, often on the face. It’s especially prevalent in women and can be triggered by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy), and genetics. Unfortunately, melasma is a chronic condition that doesn’t completely disappear, but with the right treatments and care, we can successfully keep it under control and prevent it from worsening. Melasma treatments with multi-modal approach at Dermalogic.
At Dermalogic Laser Center, we take a holistic approach to treating melasma, using multiple modalities to target the condition from different angles. We believe in addressing both the visible symptoms and the underlying causes to help you achieve healthier, more even-toned skin. Here’s how we do it:
Multi-Modality Approach to Treating Melasma
Because melasma is a complex and stubborn condition, we don’t rely on just one treatment to manage it. Instead, we use a combination of advanced techniques and medical-grade skincare products to deliver optimal results.
1. Subdermal Botox
You may be familiar with Botox as an anti-wrinkle treatment, but did you know it can also be used to help with melasma? Subdermal Botox injections relax the muscles that control facial blood vessels, reducing the dilation that can exacerbate melasma. This technique helps to prevent the condition from worsening and is one of the newer approaches we incorporate into your personalized treatment plan.
2. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a highly effective way to exfoliate the skin and target melasma spots. By removing the outermost layer of damaged skin, chemical peels can help reduce pigmentation and promote a brighter, more even complexion. Our peels are customized to your skin type and specific needs, offering a powerful method to keep melasma in check.
3. Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, allowing your skin to better absorb treatment products and look smoother. By prepping your skin with dermaplaning, we enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, such as chemical peels and medical-grade skincare, in managing melasma.
4. DiamondGlow®
The DiamondGlow® facial is a non-invasive treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with specialized serums. This is an ideal treatment for melasma patients because it helps improve skin texture, hydration, and tone without causing irritation. We customize the serums used in the treatment to target melasma and improve overall skin health.
Medical-Grade Skincare: Your At-Home Defense
In addition to in-office treatments, maintaining an effective at-home skincare routine is essential in managing melasma. At Dermalogic, we recommend the Even & Correct 3-Product System by SkinMedica, which is specifically designed to reduce the appearance of discoloration and hyperpigmentation. This system includes:
- Brightening Treatment Pads: Exfoliates for visibly bright skin.
- Dark Spot Cream: fast-acting spot treatment booster that addresses even the most stubborn dark spots left by skin damage from acne or sun exposure.
- Advanced Brightening Treatment: Powerful daily serum to help target and prevent visible hyperpigmentation.
Sun Protection: The Most Important Step
When it comes to melasma, sun exposure is your skin’s biggest enemy. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can trigger flare-ups and worsen pigmentation, so it’s critical to protect your skin every day with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. We recommend using an SPF 50 sunscreen as part of your daily routine—whether you’re indoors or outdoors. Sunscreen not only shields your skin from harmful rays but also helps prevent melasma from becoming darker and more prominent.
Melasma: Managing for the Long Term
It’s important to remember that melasma is a condition that, while it can’t be cured, can be effectively managed. With the right combination of treatments and a diligent skincare routine, we can help keep it at bay and maintain the health and appearance of your skin. At Dermalogic Laser Center, our team of experts will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific skin type and melasma concerns.
If you’re struggling with melasma or want to learn more about the treatments we offer, schedule a consultation with Dr. Amy Krachman and our team today. Let’s work together to manage your Melasma and give you the radiant, even-toned skin you deserve.

10 Surprising Benefits of Laser Skin Treatments
When it comes to achieving flawless, rejuvenated skin, laser skin treatments have become a game-changer. Whether you’re fighting the signs of aging, dealing with acne scars, or simply seeking to improve your skin’s texture, laser skin treatments in New Jersey offer a multitude of benefits. While many people are familiar with the basic advantages of lasers, such as wrinkle reduction and hair removal, there are several surprising advantages that might not be on your radar. Let’s dive into 10 unexpected benefits of laser skin treatments that could revolutionize your skincare routine.
1. Improved Skin Tone and Texture
Laser treatments can significantly enhance your skin’s tone and texture by targeting and removing damaged layers. This leads to a smoother, more even complexion, revealing fresh and youthful skin underneath. Whether you’re battling pigmentation or rough patches, lasers can provide a more uniform appearance.
2. Reduces Pore Size
Enlarged pores can make your skin look uneven and prone to acne. Laser treatments can help reduce the size of your pores, giving your skin a finer, smoother texture. This benefit is often overlooked but can make a substantial difference in the overall look of your complexion.
3. Stimulates Collagen Production
One of the most significant benefits of laser skin treatments is the stimulation of collagen production. Collagen is a vital protein that keeps our skin firm and elastic. Dr. Amy Krachman refers to this as “increasing integrity of the skin.” With increased collagen production, you’ll notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, ultimately leading to a more youthful appearance.
4. Acne and Acne Scar Reduction
For those struggling with acne and its lingering scars, laser treatments can be incredibly effective. The lasers target bacteria that cause acne, reducing breakouts, and they also help to minimize the appearance of acne scars by promoting new, healthy skin growth.
4. Improves Skin Elasticity
Laser treatments can enhance skin elasticity, another crucial factor in maintaining a youthful appearance. This not only helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles, but also prevents them from forming in the future. Enhanced elasticity also contributes to a natural and healthy glow.
5. Minimizes Sun Damage
Sun exposure can cause considerable damage to your skin, leading to discoloration, spots, and premature aging. Laser treatments effectively target and repair these areas of damage, evening out your skin tone and making your skin appear healthier and more vibrant.
6. Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Unlike surgical options, laser skin treatments are non-invasive and typically require minimal downtime. This means you can return to your regular activities relatively quickly after treatment—a huge advantage for those with busy schedules.
7. Versatility in Treating Different Skin Issues
Laser treatments are incredibly versatile and can address various skin concerns, including rosacea, spider veins, hyperpigmentation, and more. This multi-faceted approach allows for customized treatments tailored to your specific needs.
8. Enhance Skincare Product Absorption
Post-treatment, your skin becomes more receptive to skincare products. This means that the serums and creams you apply will penetrate deeper and work more effectively, maximizing the benefits of both your laser treatments and your at-home skincare routine.
9. Long-Lasting Results
One of the most appealing aspects of laser skin treatments is their long-lasting results. With proper skincare maintenance, the benefits of laser treatments can be extended, offering sustained improvements over time. This makes it a worthwhile investment in achieving and maintaining radiant skin.
From improving skin texture to stimulating collagen production and reducing acne, the benefits of laser skin treatments are both impressive and surprising. If you’re in New Jersey and seeking a solution for your skincare woes, laser treatments might be the answer you’ve been looking for.
