Laser Hair Reduction Using the 'LightSheer' laser, unwanted hair can be safely and effectively reduced. Imagine not having to shave your legs, underarms or bikini line everyday. Although there is no procedure that can honestly be called "permanent hair removal," this comes the closest. The laser is FDA approved for "Permanent Hair Reduction." After relatively few treatments, there should be little or no hair re-growth for years. We expect you will live longer than a few years, so we don't promote it as "permanent" and don't think others should either. Again, this is a no down time procedure. The length of the procedure depends on the location and size of the area treated. Underarms can be done in 20 minutes or less. Full legs and backs may take up to 2 hours. Lips, chins, uni-brows take relatively less time. Best results occur with dark hair and light skin. Darker skin can effectively be treated but true blondes cannot.

Doctors in Orange County California Laser and Cosmetics Center provides the most up-to-date and best in cosmetic medical care. Included below are some of our procedures.
Laser Photo-facial Rejuvenation
A painless, no downtime procedure in which three different
lasers are used to first remove dilated veins or capillaries on
the face. They will usually be most noticed around the nose,
under the eyes and on the cheeks.
Of
course, we can also erase spider veins elsewhere on the body.
The second laser is used to lighten or erase brown pigments such
as age and liver spots, sun related damage and hormone induced
dark areas of the skin. Finally, a third laser is used to
stimulate collagen production, thus reducing fine lines and
wrinkles. All of this can be done in about thirty minutes.
Redness will resolve three hours later and you can resume normal
activities immediately after the procedure. We use the
Versapulse-G with HELP laser system for this
procedure.
Laser Tattoo Removal We offer a
painless method of erasing old mistakes. Using multiple
wavelength lasers under local anesthesia, we can remove most
tattoos, even multicolored ones, without unsightly scarring. The
success of the removal is dependant on the type and color of
your skin and the colors in your tattoo. The darker the color of
the tattoo and the lighter the skin, the easier it is to remove.
Most tattoos can, however be treated. Our physician must examine
you to plan your individualized treatment and probable results.
You can resume regular activities as soon as the procedure is
over.
Microdermabrasion, also known as the
"lunchtime peel" is an effective, inexpensive, no downtime
procedure which gently and progressively exfoliates the outer
layer of your skin leaving it soft and beautiful. It is used to
slowly remove unwanted pigments, soften facial acne scarring,
and can in fact, reduce acne. It is our most requested procedure
because it is quick, painless, safe and very effective.
Glycolic Peels are a safe and effective
method to exfoliate older dead skin and expose the young fresh
skin underneath. This will lighten age spots, decrease fine
lines, and can be a very effective means to treat acne. There is
no down time and you can resume regular activities immediately.
You will be more susceptible to sunlight immediately after a
peel so sunscreen is mandatory and avoiding direct sun for the
remainder of the day is recommended. We also have deeper peels
which must be prescribed by one of our doctors.
Botox
is newly approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Botox is used to
soften or eliminate dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are
caused by the repetitive use of the underlying musculature.
Examples of dynamic lines are crow's feet around the eyes,
forehead wrinkles, and scowl lines. Botox can eliminate that
"always angry" look or that "tired" appearance caused by dynamic
wrinkles. Botox is also used to reduce underarm sweating, to
treat migraine headaches, to stop eye twitching, and to tighten
a double chin.
Collagen is a filler. Its best use is to fill
static lines, that is, those caused by gravity rather than
muscle use. It is used to fill in the "marionette" lines around
the mouth. It is also used to give lips that fuller, more pouty
look. In doing so, it causes the lines above the lip to
disappear.
Vein
Treatments are offered in conjunction with
Advanced Vein Center, where our laser physicians perform the
LES-Vein procedure, the most advanced
non-surgical treatment for varicose veins. We also perform
ambulatory phlebectomy for varicose veins. We also offer
sclerotherapy and and external laser treatment for spider veins.
