Intense pulsed light therapy, or IPL, has become one of the most popular cosmetic skin treatments over the past decade. IPL laser treatments are non-surgical, minimally procedures that work similarly to laser resurfacing.
This mix of frequencies allows the dermatologist to address problems that lie beneath the skin surface. The energy emitted by the device is absorbed by darker tissues, those cells containing energy-absorbing chromophores. This makes IPL the perfect treatment for some problems with blood vessels, age marks, melasma, port wine stains, enlarged pores, sun damage, and rosacea.
Advantages and Benefits
The greatest advantage of IPL laser treatments over other forms of energy absorption treatments is the simplicity of the procedure. It’s performed in the comfort of our office.
Candidates for IPL are adults who are experiencing unwanted prominence of age-related hyperpigmentation such as acne scars, stretch marks, darkened freckles, and vascular lesions. Although it’s most commonly performed as a facial skin treatment, IPL can be a suitable treatment on other areas of the body surface.
How IPL Treats Skin Problems
The instrument used for IPL laser treatments is a handheld device that delivers light energy to the treatment area. The beams are focused and then scattered before they are emitted. The light directly treats the cells that cause skin irregularities by targeting the substances that they are comprised of, such as hemoglobin or melanin.
During the Treatment
It’s important to us that we have a consultation with you to address your goals and outline the procedure in detail. We can help develop a treatment plan in the instance your area of concern requires additional work to achieve and maintain your best results.
Common areas of treatment for IPL laser treatments include the chest, hands, and neck. If you have questions about other procedure areas, they can be addressed with a member of our team during your consultation at one of our California offices.

Praise for excellence

Category: generalSince my first visit with Dr. Luxenberg, I have felt there is hope for my skin. Being an elderly woman of 88 years, a redhead with freckles and sensitive skin, it has never been easy for me to find a doctor who really took the time to be thorough with examination and treatments. Not only is Dr. Luxenberg the best dermatologist I've ever been treated by, but he also has a pleasant bedside manner and an amazing, interesting personality. I can tell that he genuinely cares if his patients are comfortable during treatments. When I was referred to Dr. Luxenberg, some three years ago, it was a very good day for me.
You will not find a better Dermatologist than Dr. Rosenberg
by Matthew Thomas
Category: generalDr. Rosenberg has been my dermatologist since 2005. I grew up swimming competitively while also playing water polo, tennis and volleyball and I knew my years in the sun would ultimately catch up to my skin. His proactive approach and thoroughness during my visits has been a tremendous help! Dr. Rosenberg also has a table side manor that other doctors should strive to achieve. His back office staff are kind, friendly and very timely when responding to questions and inquiries. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice!!!

Surgery on face
by Christine McDonnell
Category: serviceDr luxenberg I was referred to Dr Matthew Luxenberg at the Los Alamitos office by a friend of mine. He came highly recommended. My L jaw line was extremely swollen and painful. I have presently seen Dr Luxenbery 2x so far. The day of the appt the front office staff & the nursing staff were kind & compassionate. My appts have been right on time so I never had any waiting. They used extra precautions due to covid so I felt very safe. I have been an RN PHN for over 30 years and know many many doctors that I have worked with and gone to as a patient. I have been so impressed with Dr Luxenberg that I felt compelled to write a review. Dr Luxenberg is not only an EXCELLENT doctor but he is also very compassionate . It is very difficult t find doctors that have both competency and compassion. Dr Luxenberg has BOTH . Most doctors would NOT have taken care of my medical problem on the 1st visit. They do an initial visit and have you come back . The staff got me an appt within just a few days & the doctor performed surgery on my jaw line at the FIRST VISIT. The office has a surgical room which most doctor offices do NOT have . They have you go t a an out patient surgical clinic or hospital to perform the surgery. This costs the patient a lot of extra money and Incontinence AND increased exposure t covid. It just goes to show how much Dr Luxenberg CARES about his patients & wants to take care of his patients as quick and easy as possible. MY face looks normal again & all my pain is completely gone. I suffered with this pain for over a year. I had went t a plastic surgeon initially in Jan this year . The plastic surgeon did a very poor job on my face and left my jaw line looking abnormal and did not even take care of my medical problem . I was actually in more pain following that appt. I enjoy my visits with Dr Luxenberg because when he is performing surgery he makes SURE the patient has NO pain during the surgery. He is such an excellent doctor he completed my surgery so quickl
Great!
