Our cosmetic lasers emit a highly focused wavelength of red, blue, or green light to heat specific unwanted skin targets known as chromophores (absorbing molecules) so as to selectively destroy them. The laser is designed to delicately remove that target without damaging the surrounding skin. As an example, since the hemoglobin in blood vessels absorb green light wavelengths, a green light laser would be utilized to selectively remove broken capillaries and blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. The choice of laser wavelength depends on the specific skin condition being treated. Your aesthetician will help you achieve your aesthetic goals through personalized laser treatments.

What Type of Cosmetic Laser Treatment is Appropriate for You?
There are so many different types of lasers on the market today that it’s important to have an evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to determine the best laser treatment for your skin concerns and skin type. Cosmetic lasers used for laser rejuvenation in La Jolla can be divided into two categories: ablative and non-ablative.
Ablative lasers disrupt the outer superficial skin layer, heating the underlying dermis to stimulate new skin regeneration, and boost collagen.
Non-ablative lasers use light that passes through the skin without affecting the surface layer and directly heat specific targets in the deeper skin layer, the dermis.

BBL (Broad Band Light) Non-ablative
BBL uses broad-band spectrum light wavelengths in brief pulses to heat specific targets in the skin selectively removing them. BBL stimulates new collagen and addresses various aspects of sun damage including:
- Brown spots
- Sunspots
- Broken capillaries
- Discoloration
- Weathering skin changes from sun exposure
Possible side effects of laser rejuvenation in La Jolla include temporary swelling, redness, and lifting of sunspots that appear darker for a few days before falling off.
The results are permanent and long-lasting, making this a popular choice for effective skin rejuvenation. Following the treatment, your body continues to age naturally so the length of results vary depending on lifestyle factors, genetics, and how well you take care of your skin.
It is important to avoid the sun for at least 2-4 weeks prior to laser treatment. Starting on retinol 6 weeks before treatment will enhance results and promote faster healing.
Halo Laser
Halo Laser resurfacing treatment uses both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to smooth skin texture and wrinkles, treat scars, minimize pores, and remove pigmentation. One laser goes deep to tighten the skin while the other has a superficial approach to smooth the skin’s surface. This laser also treats abnormal skin cells and pre-cancers stimulating new healthy skin cells to replace damaged skin. Patients attain smoother, brighter, and healthier skin as a result.
Possible recovery side effects may include some redness, swelling, and little black dots called MENDs that fall off in 3-6 days.

Extensive research on the advantages of new collagen indicates its effectiveness in plumping up the skin, smoothing out wrinkles, lines, and scars, as well as alleviating other irregularities.
Delivering laser energy deep into the dermal tissue stimulates fibroblast activity which activates collagen production and plumps up the skin from the inside out. Experience smoother, tighter, and brighter skin with this powerful laser rejuvenation in La Jolla.
ProFractional™ Laser Testimonial
”Dr. Azi changed my life. I saw her about a year ago for a scar on my leg that had been bothering me since childhood. There was a lot of emotion behind addressing this scar. It was debilitating to my self esteem. As someone with tan / melanated skin it was hard to find a doctor that genuinely understood my skin and how to get the best results. I spent thousands on failed procedures and methods before seeing Dr. Azi. After just one session with profractional laser and diligent aftercare, my scar has reduced by at least 60-70%. It’s not very visible at all and I have my confidence back. I feel free. I flew all the way from Nashville just to see Dr. Azi and it was worth EVERY penny! The best derm I’ve ever seen
