West Coast Laser offers cutting edge technology to treat almost every indication. Please select one of the indications below or in the box to the right to view the aesthetic systems appropriate to treat patients with that indication.

Acne
Inflammation and bacterial infection of the sebaceous glands that cause a "breakout" on the body.
View Acne treatment technologies

Acne Scar Reduction
Scars that are due to the non-treatment of acne over years.

Acquired nevi reduction
Light to dark brown spots on the body that are not present at birth but appear over time. Similar to a birthmark but brown in appearance i.e. moles.
View Acquired nevi reduction treatment technologies

Age spots
Flat, dark brown spots on the body that are caused by over exposure to the sun.
View Age spots treatment technologies

Birthmark reduction
Small to large areas of blood vessels that appear as if wine was spilled on the body and absorbed into the tissue. Treatments are gradual and will require multiple treatments at appropriate treatment levels.
View Birthmark reduction treatment technologies

Cellulite body sculpting
The remodeling of cellulite tissue through invasive and non invasive techniques that are designed to help minimize the appearance of cellulite in the body tissue.
View Cellulite body sculpting treatment technologies

Collagen stimulation
Inducing the body to stimulate collagen growth in specific areas in response to the heat applied.
View Collagen stimulation treatment technologies

Freckles
Tiny brown or yellowish spots on the body commonly found on the face, neck or hands.
View Freckles treatment technologies

Hair reduction
Gradual reduction of the hair in an area. The results may or may not be permanent.
View Hair reduction treatment technologies

Keloid scar reduction
A keloid is an abnormal response to an injury on the body where excessive amounts of collagen are produced and cause the scar to bulge.
View Keloid scar reduction treatment technologies

Leg Veins
Unwanted purple and red lines on the legs. Not the bulging, raised vessels referred to as varicose veins.
View Leg Veins treatment technologies

Line and wrinkle reduction
Treatments that will target specific lines and wrinkles through collagen stimulation at the site. May induce a tightening effect. Pore shrinkage may also occur. See collagen stimulation.

Melasma
Dark, localized areas of the skin similar to café au lait. A type of common nevi.
View Melasma treatment technologies

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
A patient is given a light sensitive drug to take orally or apply topically. The drug is designed to be absorbed by body tissue and used to regenerate cells (grow). Tissue that grows abnormally will absorb the drug faster than normal tissue. Light is then shown on the abnormally growing tissue and will be destroyed.

Photo Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation techniques that utilize light to stimulate collagen growth and reduce pore size. See skin rejuvenation.
View Photo Rejuvenation treatment technologies

Poikiloderma
A mottled appearance of red and brown tissue that may have areas of raised and flat regions. Common on sun exposed areas such as the neck or chest.

Pre/post liposuction treatment
Pre- liposuction treatments are designed to assist the surgeon in removing the adipose (fat) tissue in a patient. Post- liposuction treatments are designed to allow a physician to remodel (shape) the areas that have been treated to optimize results.

Psoriasis
Dry, scaly, red patches of skin covered with a white or silver appearance of the scales.
View Psoriasis treatment technologies

Scar revision
The minimization of a scar that allows the tissue to re-heal and the site to appear as though no abnormal change has occurred.
View Scar revision treatment technologies

Skin rejuvenation
Rejuvenate the skin through light, heat or vibration that will allow a smoother texture change to the skin. May induce a tightening effect. Pore shrinkage may also occur.
View Skin rejuvenation treatment technologies

Slimming
Techniques designed to allow tissue remodeling effects to slim the appearance of the patient.
View Slimming treatment technologies

Stretch marks
Localized areas of skin that get stretched due to quick growth in the area that will eventually turn white over time.
View Stretch marks treatment technologies

Tattoo reduction
Gradual treatments allow the tattoos to become reabsorbed by the body as the ink is targeted and destroyed by the laser. The tattoo will fade after the first treatment, but multiple treatments may be required.
View Tattoo reduction treatment technologies

Telangiectasia
Tiny red lines on the face or body.
View Telangiectasia treatment technologies

Tissue toning
Techniques designed to tighten the tissue and revitalize the appearance of the tissue in a treatment area.
View Tissue toning treatment technologies

Vascular lesions
Red and purple spots on the body i.e. tiny red lines, general redness, birthmarks, and little red spots.
View Vascular lesions treatment technologies

Vitiligo
A loss of pigment in an area of skin that appears as a bleaching of the skin.
View Vitiligo treatment technologies

Wart removal
Local round, raised, scaly spots that are caused by a virus and can be removed by many methods.
