With board certification in cardiology and internal medicine, Dr. Rajan Bhatt uses the latest medical and surgical advances for the patients at his surgical centers. As the founder and CEO of two businesses, Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center and Valley Surgery Center, Dr. Rajan Bhatt works with a team of highly qualified medical professionals to provide various procedures, including laser dermatology.

An effective alternative to surgical procedures, laser dermatology is used to diminish lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and treat redness and hyperpigmentation. However, different skin types and different skin conditions require specific laser technologies. For example, patients with more melanin are treated with a different type of laser than patients with fair skin.

One of the latest laser technologies is the ruby laser, which Spectrum Dermatology uses to treat age spots, birthmarks, and sun damage. The ruby laser penetrates deep into the skin with short pulses to break up dark spots.
