High-Tech. Low-Downtime.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
At Luminous Medical Aesthetics in Woodland Hills laser skin resurfacing is a term used to describe energy-based treatments designed to impose controlled injury to damaged skin cells, stimulating natural cellular regeneration. A bright, fresh complexion appears as dull, damaged cells make way for newer, healthier skin. With comprehensive complexion benefits, laser skin resurfacing offers significant renewal without the drawbacks and downtime of surgery.
Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing targets the outermost layers of skin to target fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation concerns, and mild scarring. Erbium laser resurfacing can be tailored from a mild to more aggressive treatment, based on your skin goals and available downtime. Erbium laser resurfacing can be applied to the face, hands, neck, or chest.
Q-Switch Laser Treatment
The Q-Switch laser uses concentrated light energy to target pigment within the skin, making it an ideal choice for removing unwanted tattoos, sun spots, age spots, freckles, and pigmentation. In addition, the Q-Switch laser can be used to rejuvenate skin in various areas of the body.
Carbon Facial
Also called a carbon laser peel, the carbon laser facial is a high-tech, zero-downtime skin resurfacing treatment that is safe and effective for all skin types. The process combines liquid carbon and laser energy to create a chemical reaction that clears away damaged cells and debris from the skin’s surface while heating inner layers for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Preparing For Your Appointment
Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure
Depending on your treatment, you may need to avoid using certain skin care products or taking certain medications before your procedure. During the planning phase of your treatment, we will provide you with the information you need to arrive at your appointment fully prepared.
