Moles & Protecting your skin.
Everyone has moles, sometimes 40 or more. Most people think of a mole as a dark brown spot, but moles have a wide range of appearance. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups. Recent studies have shown that certain types of moles have a higher then average risk of becoming cancerous. Some may develop into a form of skin cancer known as malignant melanoma. Sunburns may increase the risk of melanoma. Recoqnizing the early warning signs of malignant melanoma is important. If you have moles that worry you or if it changes suddenly in any way, it should be checked promptly by a dermatologist. Summer sun exposure can effect changes in existing moles. It is time to get them checked. Call Dr. I. Paul Rappaport today to schedule your skin exam at 518-587-9243. We accept most all insurances.
Just because summer is over, don't put your sunscreen away. Your skin needs to be protected from the sun year-round. Sunscreens which contain micronized zinc oxide, which vanishes after application. offers the best protection against cancer causing ultra-violet light. These advanced sunscreens are available for purchase at our office or online at

Photodynamic Therapy(PDT)
Photodynamic Therapy(PDT) is performed by applying a topical photosensitizing solution called Levulan (ALA) to the face. After a 30-60 minute incubation period, the skin is exposed to a special type of intense light that activates the Levulan. A series of treatments performed every 4 weeks, gently and efficiently reduces skin pigmentation, acne, rosacea, oily skin, facial redness, fine wrinkles, scars and precancerous sunspots. After treatment the skin appears smoother, healthier and younger-looking. Excellent treatments with minimal down-time. LEARN MORE

Pulsed-Light Hair RemovalNo more razors, waxing, plucking or painful electrolysis! For permanent hair reduction results, we use one of the most advanced Pulsed-Light Hair Removal systems available. Palomar's Estelux Pulsed-Light System shows long-lasting results. Estelux Pulsed-Light System works by emitting pulses of intense lamp-light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the follicular cells responsible for growing new hair. Most hair removed with the Palomar Estelux Pulsed-Light System will not grow back for months, while other hair may not grow back at all. Hair that does grow back may be thinner and lighter in color.
