LASER TREATMENTS
achieve healthier and more attractive-looking skin
At Advanced Dermatology Center we have the technology and training to administer various kinds of laser treatments. Our practice incorporates some of the most cutting-edge laser technology to treat skin conditions and improve your skin's appearance. With more than 15 years of experience to our name and countless rave reviews, we are trusted skin experts.
Laser Hair Restoration
Advanced Dermatology Center uses laser hair restoration to stimulate hair growth and improve hair quantity and quality. Our Fotona PS03 handpiece, using lower-level laser therapy (LLLT), offers a convenient and straightforward approach to hair restoration. By placing the handpiece on the scalp and moving it in a crosshatch pattern, the "soft" or "cold" lasers are absorbed by the cells. This process enhances circulation and promotes hair regrowth without heat, vibration, or sound.
Benefits of laser hair restoration include:
-
It is painless
-
There is no downtime
-
There are no side effects
-
Hair quality and quantity are better
-
Hair growth is accelerated
-
It stops the progression of hair loss
-
It usually costs much less than hair transplant surgery
Am I a Candidate for LLLT Hair Restoration?
-
Laser hair restoration using Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is suitable for men and women with mild to moderate hair thinning. It is not effective for advanced hair loss with a smooth scalp lacking hair follicles. If there is remaining hair, there is a good chance of reversing and halting hair loss. Our board-certified dermatologist will assess your medical history and perform a physical exam during an in-person consultation to determine your eligibility for LLLT therapy.
-
Additionally, it's important to consider the time commitment. Each treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes, with an average of 6 sessions scheduled every 2-4 weeks. Following the completion of treatments, maintenance typically involves one session every 6 months to sustain results.

TightLase Skin Tightening
Look and feel younger
TightLase is a breakthrough cosmetic laser treatment that excels at skin tightening without any sort of invasive surgery or downtime. For many people who want to combat the signs of aging, the first and last thing they need is targeted skin tightening, which is exactly what TightLase can deliver. Our team of Burbank cosmetic dermatologists at Advanced Dermatology Center is well-trained in the use of precise dermatological tools and equipment, including the state-of-the-art lasers that make TightLase possible.
Combining Laser Wavelengths to Create One Incredible Result
TightLase is made possible by using not one cosmetic laser wavelength during treatments, but actually by perfectly combining two. Each laser wavelength offers a different benefit of treatment. When joined together, the patient enjoys skin tightening results without rival.
-
The two types of laser wavelengths are created by:
-
Nd:YAG laser — A neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal laser is used to penetrate under the first layers of your skin, stimulating collagen, minimizing fatty deposits, and smoothening the targeted area.
-
Er:YAG laser — A erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal laser is used to react to and restore the top layers of your skin. Combined with the underlying benefits made possible with the Nd:YAG laser, the Er:YAG laser can create skin-tightening results that rival, if not surpass, what was once possible through surgery alone.
Perhaps the best thing about TightLase is that the procedure works on all skin types and tones. There is no one who is disqualified from TightLase skin tightening treatments just because of their skin type. Although, as with any dermatological procedure, TightLase might not be the best choice for everyone. To see if our Burbank cosmetic dermatologists recommend this laser treatment to help you achieve a more youthful look, call at any time.

TightSculpting™

See how this breakthrough cosmetic laser treatment can help you achieve the body you feel comfortable in by calling or sending us an online contact form today.
Before & After
Skin tightening creates the appearance of youthful, firm skin, and body sculpting will reduce the appearance of fat. Arranging to have both procedures done can be a hassle, if not a little intimidating, especially when considering that one treatment should closely follow the other for optimal effect.
Frequently asked questions about TightSculpting™:
-
How does TightSculpting™ work to body sculpt and tighten skin? TightSculpting™ uses a cosmetic laser system to target stubborn fatty deposits and folds that mar your appearance. The laser is capable of heating the fat beneath the upper layers of skin, remodeling and tightening the tissue without causing any damage to the skin. In fact, the skin is refreshed. After several procedures, the skin is noticeably tightening and the targeted areas begin to take a better shape.
-
Does TightSculpting™ hurt? As a noninvasive procedure, TightSculpting™ causes little to no pain or discomfort. Some patients feel a warming sensation followed by brief moments of hotness in the target area. Many compare it to the same heat felt during a hot stone massage.
-
Is there downtime after a TightSculpting™ session? A typical procedure does not cause any downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately. You may feel warmth and notice a pink hue in the targeted area for some hours afterwards, though. If you elect to use an aggressive treatment regimen, warmth and redness may linger for up to two days. Still, this does not cause any pain or disability during that time.
Eyelase
Create bright and youthful-looking skin
Significantly tightens loose and aging skin of the eyelids and periocular region with little-to-no downtime and maximum patient comfort, making this a very sought-after non-invasive cosmetic procedure.
Why Eyelase?
Eyelase laser treatment helps to reduce bagginess, creases, and fine lines in your undereye area. In doing so, the area around your eyes looks younger, fresher, and smoother. Stopping aging may not be possible (yet), but with Eyelase laser treatment our Dermatologists can erase and prevent the signs of aging around your eyes. This new technology, paired with daily skincare and overall health care, can create bright and youthful-looking skin.
If you are tired of using topical treatments that do not work, or concealers and makeup that eventually settle in the crease making them look worse, now is the time to act. Stop hiding behind your sunglasses! Give yourself the gift of smooth skin and the look of a great night’s sleep every day.
Liplase
Non-Invasive Plumping for Fuller Lips without Injectables
The LipLase™ treatment is non-invasive, and there is nothing artificial as patients develop their own collagen in their lips. With several adjusted passes the characteristics of ‘ideal lips’ can be achieved such as fullness, volume, the correct balance between the upper and lower lips, and a well-defined vermilion border.
Before & After
What Can I Expect with Liplase?
In a procedure that is typically complete in less than 30 minutes, your lips and the skin around them are tightened and plumped through laser application, creating a youthful pout. Because this is a heating procedure, it may be described as drops of heat or hot water against your skin. After the procedure, your lips may become dry for a few days, so using a gentle moisturizing lip treatment is helpful. Results are expected to last 4-6 weeks, as with other lip-plumping procedures. Because this stimulates natural collage production, it is sometimes recommended to have 2-3 treatments for optimal results.
Non-Invasive Plumping for Fuller Lips without Injectables
-
Fuller, smoother lips
-
Stimulates collagen remodeling
-
Initiates new collagen synthesis

What Can SmoothMode Do for Your Skin?
-
Laser resurfacing helps to minimize the look of scars, working to both remove the top layers of the scar through ablation and boost collagen production under the scar for better healing and an improved appearance after regrowth. Laser treatment is the most effective way to combat scarring from acne, stretchmarks or surgical procedures.
-
With the advanced technology of dual-wavelength laser treatment, scar removal and revision reach a new level. The treatment and laser settings are fully customizable to achieve optimal results. In addition, the accuracy and precision of the laser wavelength helps reduce the look of sebaceous glands (acne scarring) while not damaging the surrounding skin, thus resurfacing the area for a smoother complexion.

Photo Rejuvenation (IPL)
How many times have you looked in the mirror and wished your skin looked as clean and smooth as it did years ago? Our patients from all across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles choose facial skin rejuvenation using intense pulsed light, more commonly referred to as "IPL." This treatment emits a broad spectrum of light, giving the Skin Specialist at Advanced Dermatology Center the ability to treat a wide range of skin imperfections.
Benefits of Dysport include:
-
IPL stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin, giving the skin a firmer and more youthful texture.
-
IPL treatments can improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, age spots, skin texture, broken capillaries, redness, and rosacea.
How IPL works:
During treatment, light emitted by the IPL device is absorbed by vascular (related to blood vessels) and pigmented lesions in the skin, which are gently heated and destroyed. For some patients, these skin blemishes actually may appear slightly more noticeable for a few days after treatment before they begin to fade. The light energy also triggers the skin to produce more collagen, renewing itself from within.
