The development and introduction of laser technology into medicine and surgery in the early 1980s caught the attention of the media and public alike. Great claims including increased speed of procedures, bloodless surgery, and leaving no scars has always accompanied the use of the word laser when combined with surgery. Unfortunately, much of this early hype was inaccurate and misleading. The first surgical lasers introduced were only useful for cutting tissue and, while they were effective for that purpose, often resulted in slower healing of tissues and no real improvement in postoperative scars.

In the past five years, the real benefits of laser technology has come to fruition for many previously untreatable problems. The explosion in laser technology and the use of certain laser wavelengths for specific problems has revolutionized many plastic surgical procedures. Today, the laser offers great benefits for port wine stains (facial purple marks), telangectasias (facial and leg spider veins), brown spots (age spots and light brown birth marks), facial line and wrinkle reduction, certain skin growths (e.g., papillomas) and tattoos.

In addition to helping a variety of patients with their skin conditions, Dr. Eppley also treats Indianapolis face lift, rhinoplasty and Botox patients achieve a more rejuvenated appearance.
