Redness & rosacea
Laser Genesis and IPL can help calm diffuse facial redness and the look of broken capillaries.
Laser Treatments in Aliso Viejo for Clearer, Smoother Skin.
From Laser Genesis and IPL photofacials to Titan skin tightening and laser hair removal — targeted, light-based treatments to improve tone, texture, redness, and unwanted hair.
Light-based treatments, tailored to your skin.
Laser and light-based treatments use precisely controlled energy to target specific concerns beneath the surface of the skin — without surgery and, in most cases, with little to no downtime. Different wavelengths do different jobs, which is why we don't treat every concern the same way.
At Alladerm, our laser menu includes Laser Genesis for tone, texture, redness, and fine lines; LimeLight IPL (a photofacial) for sun damage, brown spots, and diffuse redness; Titan for gentle, non-surgical skin tightening; and laser hair removal for lasting reduction of unwanted hair.
Because results depend on matching the right treatment to the right concern — and often to your skin type — we always start with a thorough assessment. Many laser treatments work best as a short series, and we'll be clear about what's realistic before you begin.
Our approach is consistent across everything we do: a thoughtful plan built around your skin and your goals, and natural-looking results.
Treatment Areas
Sun damage & brown spots
IPL photofacials target sun spots, age spots, and uneven pigmentation, most often on the face, chest, and hands.
Tone, texture & fine lines
Laser Genesis gently refines rough texture, large-looking pores, and early fine lines for a smoother finish.
Mild skin laxity
Titan uses infrared heat to firm mild laxity on the face, neck, and select areas of the body.
Unwanted hair
Laser hair removal treats common areas like the face, underarms, legs, back, and bikini line.
Overall dullness
A series of treatments can restore a healthier, more radiant-looking glow to tired, lackluster skin.
Benefits
Targets tone & texture
Laser Genesis gently improves overall tone, softens fine lines, and refines rough or uneven texture.
Fades redness & brown spots
IPL photofacials target sun damage, brown spots, and diffuse facial redness for a clearer, more even complexion.
Non-surgical skin tightening
Titan uses infrared light to heat deeper layers of skin and stimulate collagen for a subtle firming effect.
Lasting hair reduction
Laser hair removal targets the follicle to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body over a series of sessions.
Little to no downtime
Most laser treatments fit into your day — expect mild, sunburn-like redness that settles within hours.
Comparing your laser options
Different concerns call for different wavelengths. Here's a general overview of our laser menu — your provider will recommend the right option, or combination, at your consultation.
| Treatment | What it targets | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Genesis | Tone, texture, fine lines, large-looking pores, and redness | Gentle with no downtime; usually done as a short series |
| LimeLight IPL (Photofacial) | Brown spots, sun damage, and diffuse facial redness | Best for sun-damaged skin; spots may darken briefly before flaking away |
| Titan | Mild skin laxity on the face, neck, and body | Uses infrared light to heat deeper skin and stimulate collagen |
| Laser Hair Removal | Unwanted hair on the face and body | Done in a series for lasting reduction; shave (don't wax) beforehand |
Treatments are often combined or done as a short series for the best results. Suitability can depend on your skin type — your provider will confirm what's safe and effective for you.
What to Expect
Consultation
We assess your skin, concerns, history, and skin type to confirm laser treatment is right for you — and which type fits your goals.
Personalized plan
We recommend the treatment (or combination), explain how many sessions you may need, and review pre-care so you arrive prepared.
Treatment
After cleansing and eye protection, we pass the handpiece over the area. Most sessions take about 20–45 minutes, with a warm, mild snapping sensation.
Results & follow-up
Redness settles within hours. Improvements build over the following weeks, and we'll plan any series sessions or maintenance with you.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- You'd like to improve redness, brown spots, or sun damage
- You want smoother texture, refined pores, or softer fine lines
- You're interested in gentle, non-surgical skin tightening
- You'd like lasting reduction of unwanted facial or body hair
- You prefer effective treatments with little to no downtime
Before and After Your Visit
Before your appointment
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for about two weeks beforehand
- Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids a few days before, as advised
- Tell us about any cold sore history, recent injectables, or photosensitizing medications
- For laser hair removal, shave the area beforehand — avoid waxing, plucking, or threading
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotion, or deodorant in the treatment area
After your appointment
- Expect mild redness and warmth for a few hours, similar to a light sunburn
- Avoid sun and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily — your skin is more sun-sensitive
- Skip hot showers, saunas, intense workouts, and swimming for 24–48 hours
- After IPL, don't pick at darkening spots — let them flake away naturally
- Resume actives like retinoids only once your provider says it's okay

The patients shown are not Alladerm patients, and individual results vary. Many laser treatments work best over a series of sessions.
Pricing
Laser pricing depends on the treatment, the size of the area, and whether it's done as a single session or a series. Many laser treatments — including Laser Genesis and laser hair removal — work best as a short series, and packages are often available. Here's a look at our per-session pricing; we'll review a plan tailored to your skin at your consultation.
