You want an experienced board-certified dermatologist, not a nurse, not a physician assistant (PA), not a doctor who took weekend courses performing your laser treatments, and not some at-home, handheld device. Lasers are powerful devices and must be utilized properly to avoid complications and get the best results.

In the state of New Jersey, lasers must be performed by a physician. Beware of spas with staff with limited training. On a weekly basis, Dr. Rebecca Baxt treats complications from laser patients treated elsewhere. Select the right doctor the first time! Make sure you select a board-certified dermatologist.

All laser treatments at BAXT CosMedical^® are performed by Dr. Rebecca Baxt, a board-certified dermatologist.
