Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Glendale CA
Laser Skin Resurfacing helps to restore a more youthful appearance to your face.
As one of the most exciting and innovative scientific achievements to date, laser technology is being utilized throughout the health care community. Dr. Martin Stepanyan uses one of the newest lasers, the ultra-pulse carbon dioxide laser, to treat sun-damaged skin, facial wrinkles and scars in a procedure called laser skin resurfacing.
What Is A Laser Skin Resurfacing?
The word laser is an acronym which stands for light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation. A surgical laser such as the CO2 laser is a beam of light capable of removing unwanted tissue such as scarred, lined, wrinkled and otherwise imperfect skin. The laser vaporizes skin cells by emitting bursts of radiation that are absorbed by water in these cells. Laser light penetrates to a very precise controlled depth making the procedure safe and predictable while reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation problems. Laser skin resurfacing is bloodless and is performed in our office under light sedation. As a result of this treatment you are left with more youthful looking skin.
What Areas Can Be Treated Through Laser Resurfacing in Beverly Hills?
The laser is used to reduce tiny wrinkles, acne scars, and other minor skin imperfections, especially around the mouth and eyes. It can improve sun-damaged and acne-scarred skin problems that often cause concern to both men and women.
Laser skin resurfacing can be used as an alternative to chemical peel and dermabrasion. The benefits of using this technique are less pain and a faster recovery time. In most cases, it is less costly.
Stepanyan Surgical Arts: Specializing in Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Martin Stepanyan, MD, DMD, FAACS, FACS, is a board-certified surgeon with over 15 years of excellent education, extensive training, and over 25 years of successful practice in the field of Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery.
His background is particularly relevant in revision rhinoplasty, where surgeons often encounter scar tissue, altered anatomy, reduced cartilage reserves, and changes to the nasal blood supply that are absent in primary procedures.
One of the distinguishing features of Dr. Stepanyan’s training is his rare combination of medical and dental degrees paired with advanced education in oral and maxillofacial surgery. That dual perspective provides a detailed understanding of both facial aesthetics and the underlying structural anatomy that supports long-term function.
Dr. Stepanyan completed residency training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, then pursued a fellowship in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery at Ohio State University under T. William Evans, MD, FACS, a respected cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon. He graduated number one in his class from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine with the highest honors (the number one in his class), grounding his approach in structural facial anatomy in a way most cosmetic-only surgeons do not train for.
Dr. Stepanyan has been board-certified since 2003, and now carries certification through 2033. He holds Fellow designations from both the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (FAACS), earned through documented expertise and peer recognition rather than membership alone.
Throughout his career, he has performed over 2,000 nasal surgeries in Los Angeles County, including primary, ethnic, functional, and revision cases.
His surgical experience extends beyond private practice through charitable craniofacial reconstructive missions to Ecuador, Armenia, and Russia, where he operated on complex pediatric and adult cases under significant resource constraints, the kind of work that sharpens the problem-solving revision rhinoplasty demands.
To better serve the diverse communities of Greater Los Angeles, such as Glendale, our practice offers care in English, Armenian, and Russian, allowing many patients to discuss highly personal concerns in the language they are most comfortable with.
How Do I Prepare For Laser Skin Resurfacing in Los Angeles?
Prior to surgery, Dr. Stepanyan will discuss the goals for facial improvement. After determining the appropriate procedure, Dr. Stepanyan will fully describe the procedure, what results to expect and the costs. The skin is usually pretreated prior to surgery to improve the healing time.
The Glendale CA Laser Treatment Procedure
A local anesthetic is given to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The area is cleansed and draped. Dr. Stepanyan then directs the laser beam toward your skin imperfections. The laser quickly and accurately vaporizes the outermost layers of skin just four or five cells in thickness.
Real revision results speak louder than credentials alone. Dr. Stepanyan’s before-and-after gallery shows paired photos of revision, septoplasty, and related nose surgery cases, so you can see how altered, asymmetrical, or over-resected noses were rebuilt into balanced, natural-looking results. Many of these patients arrived after a disappointing first surgery, which makes the change especially meaningful.
Tracy M.’s case is a good example of a complex starting point. She described her nose as having “a high bridge, a bulbous and droopy tip,” slanted to one side, and “not an easy nose to work with,” adding that “I needed someone trustworthy with experience. I put my trust in Dr. Stepanyan and don’t regret it. He did such a great job that my brother decided to do his rhinoplasty with him as well.” Please see Liz’s revision rhinoplasty video above to see the possible journey from consultation through recovery.
