Sci-fi movies have long been obsessed with lasers. These mysterious beams of light hold seemingly infinite potential, and their ability to work medical miracles is no exception. As scientists continue to better understand how light works, the cosmetic technologies available only grow. Today, we can use focused light not only to restore and revitalize skin with minimal invasion, but we can also use lasers to remove hair permanently at its root, or even to remove unsightly veins from our hands or other areas of our body.
At Panacea, we use both Intense-Pulsed Light (IPL) and BroadBand Light (BBL) therapies to treat a variety of issues. IPL is ideal for treating specific problem areas, while BBL often works better to treat a larger blanket area.
Target areas for both of these procedures include:
• Sun damage and sun spots
• Facial vessels
• Redness/rosacea
• Acne
• Age spots
• Wrinkles
• Broken capillaries
• Laxity
• Rough texture
• Hand veins
Below are more details on the various laser procedures available at our Orange County office.

• Laxity

The procedure is gentle and safe, and for most treatment areas, takes no more than 30 to 45 minutes. You may experience some minor discomfort as the light energy is applied in short bursts across the treatment area. Some minor swelling may occur after the treatment, so avoid activities in harsh sunlight, but it usually subside within a day or two. You should have no trouble returning to most of your normal routines and activities.
We recommend a series of treatments that are scheduled every two to six weeks apart. You may see results after just one session, but a full series will offer long-term results and benefits. Regardless of how many sessions you select, however, we highly encourage appropriate skincare and sunscreen use.
BBL therapy uses light energy from a handheld device to gently heat the upper layers of your skin. With the introduction of BBL HERO, traditional BBL has gotten an upgrade with an increased speed, shortened pulse width, high peak power, and twice the cooling capacity of the original procedure to keep irritation minimal. As the heat is absorbed, skin cells in the treatment area will start rapid regeneration, correcting blemishes and the effects of age. The effect ultimately restores skin, making it clearer, smoother, and more vibrant. We can treat age spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions.
All of our laser procedures are non-invasive and require limited downtime. The skin may be red and sensitive for a few hours, as if you are slightly sunburned, but it will heal within a few days. Although some patients experience mild discomfort, this should not affect your ability to continue about with daily activities. To minimize discomfort and maximize healing for best results, regularly cleanse and moisturize skin, avoid hot water, wear sunscreen, and avoid being outside for extended periods.
Pricing for broadband light therapy often comes in packages, and our patients should expect prices to be around $200 per session when purchasing a package. Call 949-945-0906 to schedule a consultation, and discuss cost and treatment options.
The procedure usually causes no discomfort for patients. There may be mild stinging during and immediately following the short procedure—some have compared it to a small rubbed band being snapped against your skin—but ice packs should sooth this as it slowly fades away. There is no downtime, and Moxi can be done regularly throughout the year to maintain clear, even, and vibrant skin.
The cost of Moxi varies with each patient as it depends on the extent of the area to be treated, the number of treatments needed, and whether it is combined with other treatments.
Cost for Moxi if needed: $800/session for full face, with discounts on packages.

This procedure comfortably delivers non-ablative, fractionated laser energy to the skin to promote new cell growth and reduce unwanted pigmentation. It is often used to correct uneven pigmentation and skin damage by improving skin tone and texture without the recovery or downtime associated with more aggressive laser procedures.
Moxi is a light laser used to treat sunspots, damage, and other pigmentation on the face. Due to the minimal downtime needed and the gentleness of the technology, it’s an ideal treatment for regular skin maintenance to keep your skin looking flawless for years.
The laser device delivers fractionated energy to create micro-zones in the dermis, pulling out pigmented areas in the process. After the pigment is targeted, the skin naturally repairs itself, replacing damaged cells with healthy new ones. The procedure is quick, and sometimes can take as little as 15 minutes.
After your consultation, our aesthetic team will formulate an appropriate treatment plan based on your desired outcomes. Before your procedure, you may receive pre-op instructions to help ensure maximum results. These may include special skin care instructions, avoiding the sun, etc. Before the device is applied, a gel may be rubbed onto the skin to help cool and eliminate friction. Once applied, treatment with the device may take around half an hour, and there may be a slight stinging sensation in your skin.
This is up to you and our experts, who will provide individualized advice based on your desired outcomes and needs. Some patients only require a few treatments, while others opt for six or more over a long period of time. Sessions should be spaced about one month apart to let your skin heal.
Good candidates for IPL are patients seeking remedies for blotchy, sun-damaged or discolored skin. IPL is also an excellent treatment for rosacea. Pregnant women and those with especially dark, tanned skin may not be good candidates for IPL. Pregnancy comes with several inherent risks, while people with very dark natural skin tones may see long-term pigment changes with IPL. Most of our patients see tremendous results with IPL, but we will consult directly with you to determine if IPL is appropriate for your skin.
IPL and BBL both use focused light, but they work at different intervals and different wavelengths. IPL releases light across many different spectrums, similar to a photo flash. This scattering and less focused amount of attention penetrates deep into the lower layers of your skin without harming the top layer. This allows the laser to destroy unwanted pigmentation, clearing up freckles and other spots, and stimulating revitalization, all without damaging the top, visible layer. While BBL can help improve larger areas, IPL is great at focusing on one specific spot for treatment.
One of the best parts of IPL treatments is the non-invasive procedure and limited downtime. The skin may be red and sensitive for a few hours, as if you are slightly sunburned, but it will heal within a few days. Although some patients experience mild discomfort, this should not affect your ability to continue about with daily activities. To minimize discomfort and maximize healing for best results, regularly cleanse and moisturize skin, avoid hot water, wear sunscreen, and avoid being outside for extended periods.
After a few days of healing, results should start to appear in a week and then continue to increase as your skin heals and comes back healthier, smoother, and more refreshed.

Laser Genesis is very similar to IPL, and in fact can even be combined with IPL therapy during the same treatment session. It is also a non-invasive procedure that uses a laser to gently heat the skin, resulting in the production of new skin cells and collagen. Although not as strong as IPL therapy, it can help smooth the skin and reduce the look of fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles. Typically, its primary use is to fade scarring, redness, and broken blood vessels, and improve the look of rosacea. Treatment session plans are similar in time, length, procedure, recovery, and pricing to IPL.
Our equipment is flexible, and we are able to change multiple settings depending on your needs. Various wavelengths and durations will achieve different results depending on the amount of hair and sensitivity at the target area. The laser not only removes hair, but it actually targets the hair follicle itself, keeping hair from growing back.
We will work directly with you based on your budget and needs, but we recommend most patients schedule a series of treatments for best results. That usually entails around six laser therapy sessions, spaced about six weeks apart each. After each session, you’ll notice fewer and fewer hairs, so results will start to appear immediately after the first session.
Shaving, waxing, and tweezing your body to flawless perfection is a constant effort, and to be frank, often a pain. It takes time, work, and effort. It’s repetitive, messy, and even sometimes painful. And worst of all, it’s not permanent. Even with waxing versus shaving, stubble can come back quickly, and you’re always having to work to catch up. Thankfully, laser hair removal has long been tried-and-true in the cosmetic world. It’s safe, effective, fast, and can be used all over, by women and both men. From your underarms to your bikini line, we’ve got you covered. Or actually, better yet, we’ve got you uncovered!
The best part of laser hair removal is its permanence. Once you’ve done your series of treatments (usually 6-10) every 4-6 weeks, you can say goodbye to shaving or waxing for good. After the initial sessions, most people are then in the touch-up phase and only need maintenance treatments a couple times a year.

In this procedure we use a surface laser to penetrate beneath the skin and into the superficial blood vessel. The heat generated from the laser ultimately causes the vein to collapse upon itself, and then over the next few weeks, the veins slowly disappear as the body reabsorbs the blood cells left behind.
Lasers and IPL treatments are also now being used to remove varicose veins. In these procedures, light is directed at the problem area, causing heat damage and relief of spider veins and other problems without causing damage to the surrounding tissue and skin.
Like with most laser and IPL procedures, best results come from a series of treatments. Treatment times are quick, and can often be combined with other procedures during the same visit. With laser vein removal, results may not show for a few weeks after the initial treatments. Overtime, however, as the body responds and heals, major improvements should be noticed.
Results are relatively permanent. Over time, however, new veins may start to naturally appear again.
Pearl Fractional treats a variety of skin conditions relating to aging and sun damage. That can include wrinkles, acne scars, sunspots, and more.
Pearl Fractional is unique in that it’s designed as a single laser treatment. Most patients will see significant improvement in their skin after just one treatment.
Pearl Fractional Resurfacing is a laser treatment used to treat skin problems that are deeper in the dermis such as wrinkling and scarring. Fractional lasers treat a fraction of the area of the skin and leave a significant portion of the skin untreated to assist in the healing process. This is a single laser treatment designed to improve broad imperfections due to aging and sun damage, and it’s an effective treatment that yields quick results.
Many patients see improvement one week after treatment. Maximum results are visible in one to three months. Patients may apply make-up five days after treatment.

This patented approach to skin rejuvenation combines three different types of light treatments depending on your needs and desires. Two or three of the following therapies are combined to meet your needs:
LimeLight: Targets redness, mottled complexions, freckles and sun damage.
Laser Genesis: Discussed further above, which has been proven to induce new collagen for improvement of fine lines and wrinkles.
Titan Skin Tightening: Utilizes infrared light to heat tissues deep below the skin and firm its surface and structure.
We can advise you more extensively on which of these combinations is best for your skin, and we can also combine these three therapies with other skin tightening and skin resurfacing procedures available at Panacea.
Because we each have unique skin needs, it’s best to consult with us on what options will best suit your desires and goals. Call (949) 945-0906 to schedule a consultation, or to discuss cost and treatment options.
