Laser Skin Resurfacing in Burbank

Board-Certified Dermatologist-Led Treatment for Skin You’ll Feel Confident In

Laser skin resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate collagen production, improving tone, texture, and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage. At Advanced Dermatology Center, that treatment happens inside a physician-led dermatology practice with more than 15 years of serving Burbank patients across medical, surgical, and cosmetic care. That context matters. Our board-certified dermatologists bring clinical precision to every treatment plan from the start.

Free cosmetic consultations are available for anyone considering laser skin resurfacing: a low-pressure way to understand your options and get a plan built around your skin specifically.

Skin Concerns Laser Resurfacing Can Address

Laser skin resurfacing is one of the most versatile treatments in cosmetic dermatology. It’s commonly used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth acne scars, correct sun damage and hyperpigmentation, refine skin texture and tone, and minimize enlarged pores. Because our practice also treats acne, rosacea, and a wide range of medical skin conditions, our team understands the full picture of a patient’s skin before recommending a laser approach.

Not every laser works the same way. Ablative lasers remove the top layer of skin and drive collagen renewal directly; non-ablative lasers work beneath the surface without removing it, heating deeper tissue to stimulate collagen remodeling from within. Choosing between them, and selecting the right depth for a given patient, requires clinical judgment. That judgment is especially important for patients with active skin conditions or varying skin tones. Treatment at Advanced Dermatology Center is tailored to the individual, including patients across the full range of skin tones.

What to Expect During Laser Skin Resurfacing

Every treatment begins with a consultation to determine the right laser type, depth, and plan for your skin concerns and goals. On treatment day, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable. The laser then works across the treatment area, removing damaged skin layers with precision. Depending on the size of the area and depth of treatment, a session generally takes anywhere from 15 minutes to just under an hour.

Immediately after, your skin may feel warm and look similar to a mild sunburn. That’s expected and temporary. Most patients leave the office the same day without any special aftercare equipment.

Recovery & Aftercare

The days following treatment typically involve mild redness, swelling, and some skin flaking. For fractional laser treatments, this phase generally lasts around five to seven days, though healing time varies with treatment depth. During that window, gentle cleansers and moisturizers are your best tools. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential, and direct sun exposure should be avoided while healing.

Retinoids and exfoliating products are typically paused before and after treatment as directed. One important note: don’t pick or peel flaking skin. Letting it shed naturally supports healing and lowers the risk of complications. Collagen remodeling continues for weeks to months after the procedure, so final results develop gradually rather than all at once.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Adults dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, or rough skin texture are often strong candidates. Good general health and realistic expectations apply, as they do for any cosmetic procedure.

Some situations call for extra consideration. Patients with active acne breakouts, a history of cold sores, or certain skin conditions may need a modified approach or a pre-treatment protocol before proceeding. Skin tone also affects laser selection, which is one reason a consultation with a knowledgeable provider matters so much. Some patients may reach their goals in a single session; others with deeper scarring or more advanced sun damage may benefit from a series of treatments. Your provider can give you a realistic picture of what to expect at the consultation.
