MEET DR. COHENElixir MD light therapy treatments are performed before and after surgery as part of a peri-operative LED light therapy care plan. During each Elixir MD therapy session, the device is positioned to deliver light therapy to the targeted areas with multiple wavelengths of light, without the need for direct contact. The non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments are relaxing and completely noninvasive and typically last about 20 to 30 minutes. Dr. Cohen will recommend the number of sessions needed to maximize healing benefits.
Following Elixir MD treatments, patients often notice reduced swelling, less bruising, and improved comfort during the early stages of recovery. Healing is typically faster, and many patients experience visible improvements within the first week. As collagen production continues to increase over time, surgical results improve, leading to smoother, more natural-looking results. Elixir MD helps patients feel more confident throughout their recovery by easing physical discomfort and emotional stress.
