Laser Procedure

Dr. Ben Behnam MD:

First, why should a Doctor do the laser procedure and not a technician? Each skin has its own shade of color. The intensity of laser and the depth of the intensity must be calibrated by a trained physician and not a technician. Severe burn and unrecoverable skin damage might ensue if the laser intensity is not calibrated correctly for the right color of skin. For both Acne and Wrinkle Scars removal, Dr. Behnam charges as low as $495 (partial facial) for first session. Partial facial areas are forehead, templates, cheeks and chin.

One of the most exciting new development in the field of Dermatology is the application of Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing for the treatment of wrinkles, pigmentation, age spots, acne scars and general sun damage by removing damaged skin layer by layer.

CO2 laser resurfacing will give you a smoother, more vibrant and glowing skin.
It turns back the clock on your complexion and reveals the more youthful looking skin that lies underneath.

CO2 laser uses a new advanced technology where microscopic zones of skin are vaporized by the laser.
The results are seen almost immediately as well as gradually as collagen continues to form weeks after the procedure is performed.

The laser drills tiny microscopic holes throughout the skin. By doing so, it will stimulate collagen production and smooth out wrinkles, improve texture of the skin, even out skin color, lighten up brown spots and tighten up the skin.

Each treatment usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Topical numbing in conjunction with my own proprietary chilling technology are used prior to the procedure for pain reduction and maximal comfort. Fractional CO2 requires only 1 or 2 treatments.

CO2 laser can also be used on the neck, chest and hands for removal of age spots and sun damage. Fractional CO2 laser works very well for acne scars as well. It typically needs at least 1 to 3 treatments, depending upon the severity of acne scars, skin color, downtime etc.

In clinical studies of the Fractional CO2 laser published in February 2009 of Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, the study demonstrated greater than 50% improvement in almost all of the 32 patients with those undergoing treatment for wrinkles and pigment. In our clinical experience, results do vary from patient to patient, with some patients having their wrinkles almost eliminated while some had significant smoothing of the wrinkles.

Deeper wrinkles may require more than one treatment whereas softer wrinkles might just require one treatment.

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing For Acne Scars

CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment is able to reduce the appearance of acne scars by removing damaged skin layer by layer. It turns back the clock on your complexion and reveals the more youthful looking skin that lies underneath.

Benefits include not only the effective correction of moderate to deep lines, acne scars, and wrinkles, but also treatment for uneven pigmentation, photo damage, and a host of other skin imperfections.

Safe, and simple, this procedure offers excellent results in approximately twenty to forty minutes. CO2 laser treatment has many benefits. It can rejuvenate skin that has been damaged by the sun, and create an even skin tone by minimizing discolorations. This brief procedure is done as an outpatient procedure and requires only local anesthesia.

Patients who undergo the procedure are allowed to return home after. The procedure itself involves placing carefully guided pulses of light on the skin to vaporize the top layer to a specific depth, revealing clear, healthy skin beneath. Patients are given a soothing ointment that alleviates the discomfort while sealing out air until the skin is completely healed.

There are many benefits to this treatment. Patients typically appreciate the ease with which the procedure works to even out skin and skin tone on both face and neck skin. Healing after the procedure is very rapid and requires only minimal care, with all redness subsiding within a week. Perhaps one of the biggest benefits for patients, however, is that goals can usually be achieved with only one to two treatments.

Meet The Doctor: Dr. Behnam is a Fractional CO2 Laser Specialist. He specializes in laser resurfacing of the face and has been featured on ABC7 and The Doctors Show performing the procedure. Please look below for pictures, videos and testimonials.

Does my skin color matter for fractional CO2 laser resurfacing?

Yes. Skin color and skin tone do matter. Patients that have darker skin tone, such as Middle Eastern, Hispanics, and Asians have a higher risk of pigmentation at areas of laser resurfacing compare to white skin individuals. Thus, one must be very careful to use the appropriate setting on them in order to prevent unwanted side effects. Dr. Behnam is board certified dermatologist and about 80% of his patients are of Hispanic and Asian origin. Dr. Behnam specializes in treating acne scar in patients of darker skin tones.

 

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing for Wrinkles

There are many creams and gels that promise to stop wrinkles, but few if any show results. The idea of using Botox, a toxin, to eliminate wrinkles is also unsettled. The CO2 laser treatment is the most promising method of wrinkle reduction and skin treatment.

Safe, and simple, this procedure offers excellent results in approximately twenty to forty minutes.

Unlike some procedures that must be done frequently or for prolonged periods of time to achieve results, CO2 laser treatment provides patients with a fast and effective method of wrinkle reduction, scar removal and tone blending that is entirely non-invasive and free of injected toxins. While both face lifts and Botox have their merits, for some patients CO2 laser treatments are simply the ideal treatment for repairing and treating the skin.

★★★★★Great Doc!

Jeanousse E. 

I was really nervous prior to coming to this office, because i knew i had to remove these skin tags on my face & neck… And i HATE needles & knives!!! However, as soon as Dr. Ben Behnam entered the room, he was so calm, nice and patient, i no longer felt anxious about my visit! Dr. Behnam is very easy going, and very knowledgeable… He listens to you, comforts you, then takes care of what needs to be taken care of by a PROFESSIONAL! 
i am so glad he was the Dr. i was reffered to, instead of any other dermatologist. My skin now looks so much better… With just two visits, i am proud to say i no longer have tiny little skin hanging off my face! Oh, and parking is very convinient as well… 
Thanks Dr. B… I am glad there are people like you on this earth to take care of skin problems, ’cause i could never do it!!!

I will now use Dr. Behnam as our family dermatologist for yearly skin care screenings or any other dermatological issues that may arise, in fact I took my son to see him yesterday.

I’m so happy to have found Dr Behnam, I had consulted with several doctors before selecting Dr. Behnam to perform the fractional C2 laser procedure on my face. May results are fantastic.

. I work as a makeup artist in the film business, my clients often ask for referrals, I will be giving them Dr. Behnan’s information from now on.

Dr. Benham and staff are extremely attentive and helpful. The laser tightened my skin significantly. It took 45 minutes to numb, then 1/2 hour for treatment. The first night, it feels like a sunburn. After 2 days, the sweliing goes down. I looked normal at day 6 with younger skin.

★★★★★Great Dermatologist for you and your family!

thibault m. 

Dr. Behnam accepted to see me as I was desparate to find a dermatologist on a Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles. Although I came from far away he waited for me to arrive and his intervention saved me a trip to the ER. The follow up appointment went great as results of his treatment were amazing. I would recommend this doctor to anybody who is seeking a youg, dynamic, knowledgeable dermatologist in the LA area. In addition, the location of his offices is very convenient even if you are coming from Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, or the San Fernando Valley.
