As we age, it is natural for our skin to lose its smooth texture, elasticity, and radiant tone. Fine lines deepen, sunspots become more noticeable, and overall skin quality begins to fade. Laser skin rejuvenation offers a safe and effective way to reverse these visible signs of aging by targeting the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate new collagen, improve tone, and restore a naturally luminous complexion.
Located in Rancho Cucamonga, Dr. Patricia Guevara-Channell and her skilled team at Channell Wellness & Aesthetics offer several advanced laser skin rejuvenation treatments. These innovative treatments address a wide range of concerns, including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scars, and skin laxity.

About Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin rejuvenation includes several different treatments that improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the outermost layer of skin. (1) At Channell Wellness & Aesthetics, we perform these treatments using advanced laser systems that deliver targeted energy to damaged tissue without harming surrounding areas. The result is a noticeable improvement in skin smoothness and radiance with minimal downtime. We customize each laser therapy to the patient’s specific concerns, ensuring safe, natural-looking results for all skin types.
Dr. Patricia Guevara-Channell and her team offer several popular rejuvenating laser treatments to restore youthful vitality to the skin. Each treatment addresses a particular set of skin concerns while promoting overall improvement in texture and tone.
Scar Removal
Laser scar removal offers an effective way to improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other skin imperfections. The laser energy penetrates beneath the surface to remodel scar tissue and stimulate the production of healthy new skin cells. (3) Over time, the treated areas blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin, resulting in a smoother, clearer texture.
We can adjust this treatment to suit the type and depth of scarring. Whether the goal is to soften the appearance of acne marks or reduce surgical scars, laser therapy can significantly enhance skin uniformity and confidence. Most patients experience steady improvement over several weeks as the skin continues to heal and regenerate.
Stretch Mark Removal
Stretch marks are a common concern for many individuals, often stemming from weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or rapid growth. Laser stretch mark removal works by encouraging collagen and elastin production. (4) The process gradually lightens the appearance of stretch marks and improves skin texture, restoring a smoother, more consistent look. This treatment is safe for various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. As collagen continues to rebuild following each session, patients will notice a steady improvement in skin tone and firmness. The result is a more even surface that looks naturally healthy and rejuvenated.
Photofacial
Although not technically a laser treatment, a photofacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to target sun damage, redness, and uneven pigmentation. (2) This minimally invasive procedure penetrates the skin’s surface to break down melanin clusters responsible for dark spots and discoloration. It also minimizes the appearance of small blood vessels and redness, resulting in a more balanced and youthful tone.
Patients love Photofacials because they deliver visible results with minimal discomfort and downtime. The treatment can address the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it one of the most versatile options for rejuvenating the skin. After a series of sessions, the complexion appears brighter, more even, and naturally radiant.

Preparation
Dr. Guevara-Channell and her team provide a list of preoperative instructions based on the treatment they undergo. These may include guidelines to:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment
- Discontinue tanning creams or self-tanners in the treatment area
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, chemical peels, or retinol for several days prior
- Inform the provider of any medications or skin conditions
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of treatment
Following these simple steps helps reduce the risk of irritation and ensures the laser can precisely target the intended areas of concern.
Procedure
During a laser skin rejuvenation procedure, patients can expect a comfortable and straightforward experience. We will first cleanse the skin, then provide protective eyewear if necessary. Dr. Guevara-Channell or a trained specialist will then guide the laser handpiece across the desired treatment area, delivering controlled pulses of energy to the skin.
Depending on the specific laser treatment and the size of the treatment area, sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild warmth or light snapping feeling on the skin. Afterward, we will apply a soothing gel or cool compress to reduce any temporary redness or sensitivity. We carefully personalize each laser rejuvenation session to match the patient’s comfort level and aesthetic goals. Some patients may require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve the best results, while others see noticeable improvement after just one visit.
Results
One of the greatest advantages of laser skin rejuvenation is its ability to produce both immediate and gradual improvements in skin quality. Patients typically notice an initial glow within days of treatment, followed by continued enhancement as collagen regeneration increases over the following weeks. Fine lines become less visible, discoloration fades, and overall texture becomes smoother and more even. The results can last for many months, and patients can easily maintain them with periodic follow-up treatments and a healthy skincare routine. By combining precision technology with Dr. Guevara-Channell’s aesthetic expertise, patients can expect results that look natural, youthful, and refreshed.
Recovery
For most laser skin rejuvenation treatments, recovery time is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness or swelling similar to a light sunburn for 1–3 days. They can typically apply makeup within 24 hours and resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Dr. Guevara-Channell and her staff will provide detailed post-treatment instructions, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. As the skin continues to heal, patients may notice a gradual shedding of older, dull skin cells, revealing a fresh, radiant layer beneath. Adhering to proper aftercare ensures smoother recovery and optimal long-term results.
