Knowledge, Experience, Skill, and the Latest Medical Advancements.

Doctor Jacob Rispler and the Laser and Dermatology Institute of California (LDI) has been treating acne for over 33 years.  LDI has treated tens of thousands of patients and we can help you too.  LDI offers the most advanced tools, knowledge, skill, and experience to clear even the most stubborn and difficult acne.  WE DO NOT use a one-size-fits-all approach to help your unique condition.  Each patient is different with different concerns.

Under the direction of Dr. Jacob Rispler, M.D., LDI has been credited nationally and internationally for helping people of all skin tones, skin types, and age groups with severe acne that did not respond well with standard treatments.  Doctor Rispler is Certified by the American Board of Dermatology and a Certified Laser Surgeon.  He is often called on for his expertise in difficult to treat skin disorders.  Not all Doctors specialize in treating acne, but Doctor Rispler has dedicated over 33 years to helping people clear acne safely and effectively.

LDI is always leading the way in new treatments for acne.  By using a combination of FDA approved medicines and specialized FDA approved advanced lasers, LDI has given hope to people who have tried other treatments without any success.  LDI has been very successful because each treatment is tailored to the unique needs of every patient.  Here at LDI, we use non-ablative lasers that do not break the skin.  Therefore, you require no down time or recovery time for laser treatments.  Patients often return to their regular activities the same day they are treated.  With over 30 lasers, each designed to treat a specific condition and skin type, you can be assured that we are one of the very few that can honestly provide safe, cost effective, and accurate treatments.

How Does LDI Treat Acne?

One type of treatment or laser is not necessarily better than another.  However, one type of treatment is right for you. Therefore, we cannot tell you exactly what we will do for you until you visit us.

A typical scenario, we often see is that a prospective patient asks for a specific treatment or specific laser for their acne.  Also, prospective patients will often compare one laser over another.   Often times, prospective patients are unaware of the newest available treatments for acne and in fact to achieve the best possible results, LDI must use a combination of lasers based on your skin condition, type, and tone.  Some patients may need 3 types of lasers and others may need 7 types of lasers.  We do carry the latest technology and lasers.  However, one type of treatment or laser may not be right for you.  Also, keep in mind that each laser can be programmed to deliver various doses or intensity that Doctor Rispler will prescribe for your specific condition as you progress.  Doctor Jacob Rispler is well known as a pioneer in laser treatment and expert in dermatology.

How Much Does it Cost?

Each and every patient is different with different acne conditions.  We encourage you to visit one of our three offices for a first time visitor FREE consultation which is normally a fee of $150.  At your free consultation you will be told an estimated number of laser treatments that will be needed to clear the acne and improve any scarring at the same time.  Unlike consultations at other laser centers, you will receive an expert evaluation and an immediate plan of action that will be accurate, efficient, and cost effective. 

Lasers are not covered by insurance.  You will be responsible for full payment.  However, we do offer financing that will allow you to pay as you go for your program.  Laser treatment can be purchased one at a time or you can purchase more at a discounted price that will also yield the best results.

Your treatments are custom to your condition and adjusted according to your progress or responsiveness to treatment.  Dr. Rispler personally monitors your progress and makes changes to your treatments that he finds necessary for maximum results.  Often comparing our pricing to medical spas or other offices is like comparing apples and oranges.  If you want the best results you have to see the best.

Doctor Jacob Rispler dedicates two days a week in each office for initial patients to begin immediately without having to wait for an appointment to start their treatments.  Therefore, we offer same day sign up specials for those serious about making a change and that want to start their treatment that day to begin a life of clearer skin.  If you feel that you have tried everything else, we can help.  Early treatment of acne is essential to better results.  If not treated, acne may cause acne scarring, red or brown blotches, dry skin, and enlarged pores.  Clear, smooth skin is possible.  Even for people of all skin types and skin tones.  Treatments are easy, efficient, and cost effective.
