Introduction
to Laser Resurfacing
The art of rejuvenation
Scars and other skin impurities can be a mental hurdle for some, adding unnecessary stress and anxiety to their day-to-day lives. At the Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgical Institute, we don’t believe that accidents or incidents from your past should control you, so we are proud to offer our Beverly Hills patients Laser Resurfacing. This treatment is not only non-invasive, but it’s a simple and practically painless way to give your skin a “new” canvas. To find out more about this treatment, please read the information we have provided below.
What is Laser Resurfacing?
Lasers are medical devices that produce high-energy, focused beams of intense, “single-colored” light and heat which have been found through ongoing research and extensive clinical experience to selectively interact, in very useful ways, upon various tissues within the skin and body. Lasers can be used to reduce wrinkles around the lips or eyes, even the entire face, softening fine wrinkles and removing certain pigmentations and other colored blemishes on the face.
Skin resurfacing can be combined with surgical rejuvenation procedures such as facelifts and eyelid surgery to deliver a better overall result. These lasers can also be used for the treatment of acne scarring. Technological advances have allowed these lasers to be delivered with fractional technology allowing only a fraction of the skin’s surface to be treated at one time which minimizes downtime and the side effects of treatment. Dr. Saadat uses the Fraxis Duo for the treatment of aesthetic and medical conditions.

Who is the Best Candidate for Laser Resurfacing?
The best candidates for Laser Resurfacing in Beverly Hills are patients with a positive attitude, overall good health, and maintain realistic expectations. It also helps to have good skin elasticity and you’re not prone to scarring.
What’s the first step?
The first step in getting Laser Resurfacing in Beverly Hills is to contact the Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgical Institute and schedule a consultation. When you come in for this appointment, you will meet with Dr. Saadat or a member of our Aesthetics team. During this time, you will be able to show them what you are trying to improve and ask any questions you may have. They will then examine the desired treatment area and perform a detailed analysis of your facial anatomy and skin condition and recommend strategies to address the patient’s unique needs. As they formulate your treatment plan, the provider will present you with an evidence-based strategy to eliminate or improve darkened spots, unsightly veins, fine lines, or precancerous changes. If you agree with their plan, then you can begin your first treatment session after your consultation, or speak with our Patient Coordinator to reschedule for a better date and time.
What to Expect On The Day of Laser Resurfacing
When you come in for your Laser Resurfacing, we’ll have you make yourself comfortable, and numbing ointment will be applied to the treatment area. If you are having a more intense procedure, like your entire face, you may be sedated to make your experience more tolerable.
During the procedure, the provider will use a handheld device that emits a laser beam at a uniform wavelength that is directed at your skin. The external layer of your skin (epidermis) is destroyed and simultaneously heats the underlying skin, also called the dermis. Each pulse of energy vaporizes a column inducing deep healing with collagen growth and remodeling. The laser energy is distributed in an even pattern, leaving little areas of untreated skin in between the columns of treated tissue to stimulate skin regeneration.
Depending on the size and area that you are treating, the treatment should take anywhere between 30 minutes to two hours.
Laser Resurfacing Recovery
Aftermath
After your Laser Resurfacing treatment, you will be able to return to your usual activities and skincare routine immediately, however, we recommend waiting about a week before applying makeup. As you heal, you will notice an improvement in your skin condition including reduced lines, blotches, and wrinkles, and will hopefully enjoy healthier glowing skin.
Total renewal of facial skin with laser is safe and effectual. Patients may experience skin dryness and peeling that subsides within 5-7 days. Healing can be expedited with the assistance of antioxidants and procedure-specific moisturizers offered by our practice. If you experience any pain during your recovery, you can use over-the-counter pain medication or ice packs to alleviate the feeling. The use of specialized skin care is advisable to enhance results.

The price of Laser Resurfacing
