Laser Hair Removal
Do you find yourself with areas of unwanted hair? You are not alone. Many people wish to remove body hair they consider troublesome or a cause of embarrassment. Advances in laser hair removal systems can permanently remove hair from the face, back, bikini line, and virtually any other area of the body. By using the light energy of a laser to disable the hair follicle, troubling patches of hair can become a thing of the past.
At the two locations of THE SKIN CENTERx in Orange County, Dr. Cohen has performed laser hair removal on many patients from throughout Southern California. If you are tired of waxing, tweezing, shaving, or otherwise constantly having to remove unwanted hair, visit one of our two convenient locations to learn more about the laser hair removal options that we offer.

Laser Skin Treatment
Dr. William Cohen offers various laser skin treatment options to patients from throughout Orange County. Some of the laser skin treatments available at THE SKIN CENTERx include Cutera® CO2 resurfacing, Photofacial℠ IPL™, and Syneron elōs™.
Cynosure® Affirm™ CO2 Laser — Skin Resurfacing and Collagen Renewal in One Treatment
If you're looking for immediate, long-lasting skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, then treatment with the Cynosure® Affirm™ CO2 laser may be for you. It combines the skin resurfacing power of a typical CO2 laser with the collagen renewal abilities of a fractional laser in a single treatment. Treatments with the Affirm™ CO2 laser can be customized to the desired cosmetic result and downtime requirements of each patient, and it can be used to treat a range of skin conditions, including:
- Deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Discolorations, including sun spots and freckles
- Rough skin texture
- Scars, including acne scars
- Actinic keratoses (dry, scaly patches of skin caused by extensive exposure to the sun)
Typically, laser skin treatments are either ablative (targeting the superficial layers of the skin, causing them to peel and reveal new skin) or non-ablative (targeting the deep layers of the skin to boost collagen renewal without causing peeling). With the Affirm™ CO2 laser, you get the best of both of these treatments but with minimal downtime. A smoother complexion is visible the next day thanks to the ablative treatment, while long-term rejuvenation is promoted by the boost in collagen from the non-ablative treatment. Downtime is minimized because the Affirm™ CO2 laser features patented Micro Ablative technology, which treats tiny areas of the skin while leaving the surrounding areas undisturbed. The laser also reduces swelling and bleeding, allowing for a quicker recovery. Although many patients see results in as little as one treatment with the Affirm™ CO2 laser, several treatments are often recommended to achieve the desired appearance.
Photofacial℠ IPL™
Another laser skin treatment available at THE SKIN CENTERx in Orange County is IPL (intense pulsed light). Photofacial℠ IPL™ is a facial rejuvenation treatment used by Dr. Cohen to treat pigments, reduce the appearance of veins, and remove unwanted hair.
A non-invasive treatment that uses safe light energy, Photofacial℠ IPL™ can rejuvenate the appearance of the face, neck, chest, and hands. Used to treat damaged skin, reverse the effects of aging, and reduce the redness of rosacea, Photofacial℠ IPL™gently delivers controlled bursts of light energy to your skin. Multiple Photofacial℠ IPL™ sessions may be required to ensure safe and gradual treatment. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, involves no recovery time, and provides long-lasting results.
Schedule a consultation today to find out whether Photofacial℠ IPL™ or one of the other laser skin treatment options available at our Orange County offices is right for you.
Syneron elōs™
Dr. Cohen is proud to offer Syneron elōs™ for non-invasive skin-tightening procedures. Using the power of radiofrequency and laser light energy, this laser skin treatment lessens the appearance of rosacea, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tones. Typically completed in three to five monthly treatments, the Syneron elōs™ facial rejuvenation procedure effectively, but gently, restores the skin's appearance with little or no post-procedural downtime.
Cynosure® Elite™
At THE SKIN CENTERx, we also feature the Cynosure® Elite™ laser system, which is used in laser hair removal for all skin types, as well as in the removal of facial and leg veins, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and freckles. The revolutionary Elite™ laser platform gives Dr. Cohen the ability to switch between two wavelengths – a 755 Alexandrite laser and a 1064 Nd:YAG laser – during treatments. This allows us to customize treatments around the hair and skin type of each patient and perform multiple procedures during a single visit. The 755 laser is best for long-term hair removal and pigmented lesion removal, and the 1064 Nd:YAG laser is the safest choice for hair removal on dark skin, as well as for the removal of facial and leg veins on all skin types. In addition, the Elite™ laser allows for spot size and pulse duration adjustment for further customization of treatments to fit patients’ individual needs.
Syneron triniti™ Skin Series — Three-in-One Skin Rejuvenation Solution
The triniti™ Skin Series offers a three-in-one solution for skin rejuvenation, combining color correction, skin tightening, and deep wrinkle treatment in one visit. The system uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) technology in the eMax™ multi-application platform, and achieves skin rejuvenation in three steps:
Step 1: Renew™ - The FotoFacial RF for Color Correction applicator targets vascular and pigmented lesions to improve skin texture. This step reduces the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and spider veins and evens skin tone.
Step 2: Refirme™ - The skin tightening applicator tightens existing collagen fibers for an immediately firmed appearance while stimulating collagen production for long-term results. This step tightens sagging skin in the neck and jowl, brow lines, nasolabial folds, and below the eyes.
Step 3: Matrix IR™ - The fractional applicator focuses treatment to specific areas for fast collagen renewal and a smoother skin appearance. This targeted treatment smoothes wrinkles and improves skin texture.
The triniti™ Skin Series is safe for all skin types and features revolutionary elōs™ technology, combining bi-polar radiofrequency and laser energy to target tissue in the treatment area while leaving surrounding areas untreated.
Cutera® Lasers
We also use Cutera® lasers in a variety of treatments at our Orange County offices, including IPL photofacial, superficial skin and facial rejuvenation, and the removal of unwanted hair and veins. With state-of-the-art technology, the Cutera® laser targets the treatment area while sparing the surrounding tissues, resulting in minimal downtime. In addition, Cutera® features continuous epidermal cooling for comfortable and safe treatments.
Laser Body Contouring
Using the most advanced laser technology available, Dr. Cohen is able to contour the face and body without invasive surgery. Some of the treatments offered at the two locations of THE SKIN CENTERX in Orange County include Thermage®, Smartlipo™, and VelaShape™.
Thermage®
Using cutting-edge radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen regeneration, Body by Thermage® is a non-invasive body contouring treatment offered by Dr. Cohen to patients from throughout Orange County. If you are looking for a non-surgical option to tighten your skin and eliminate wrinkles, Thermage® may be the right treatment option for you.
Thermage® is a non-invasive cosmetic solution that uses ThermaCool™, specially patented radio frequency technology. The ThermaCool™ system used during Thermage® treatments penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin and heats the existing collagen, the structural building blocks of your skin. The safe, controlled heating of the underlying collagen causes your skin to tighten, making it appear more youthful and vibrant. The heating of existing collagen will also promote the growth of new, remodeled collagen over time, leading to tighter, smoother, healthier skin.
Smartlipo™ Laserlipolysis
Smartlipo™ Laserlipolysis uses minimally-invasive laser liposuction to remove unwanted fat from the face and body. Smartlipo™ causes less swelling, pain, and recovery time than traditional liposuction.
VelaShape™
Another non-invasive body-contouring technique utilized by Dr. Cohen is VelaShape™. Using a combination of vacuum and mechanical massage, infrared light energy, and radiofrequency technology, VelaShape™ can be used to contour the body with minimal downtime.
