Lasers are now being used by doctors, dermatologists & medical clinics to treat a number of skin conditions. Lasers treat a variety of skin blemishes without the recovery time, downtime or side-effects commonly attributed to chemical peels, invasive surgery, injections or harsh ablative procedures. Many cosmetic surgeons in the Los Angeles area are offering new advanced laser treatments for conditions such as hyper pigmentation, facial veins, sun damaged skin, facial redness & rosacea.

SkinBasix is a medical spa located in Newport Beach, just south of Los Angeles. SkinBasix offers light based skin treatments with the Palomar Starlux IPL system. The Starlux technology eliminates pigmented lesions (e.g. age spots) by delivering a pulse of intense light which passes harmlessly through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the lesion. The process also treats Rosacea and Telangiectasias by heating the hemoglobin within the vein. The absorption of heat causes injury to the internal walls of the veins, causing them to collapse and fade from view.

Laguna Woods Dermatology located in Laguna Hills, CA offers skin treatments with the VBeam laser. The VBeam laser is very versatile, treating a number of different conditions such as facial and nasal veins, sun spots and freckles, redness and rosacea, psoriasis, even unsightly scars and warts. Vbeam treatment produces an immediately visible result, and there is no recovery time or anesthesia required post treatment.

The Lesoleil Day Spa is another medical spa located in Glendale, CA that offers light based skin treatments. Lesoleil offers the new Elos technology, which combines Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light energies to treat superficial and benign vascular and pigmented lesions like Telangiectasias, Rosacea and Angioma.
