Laser Light Rejuvenation in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles
Laser and light-based treatments can improve sun damage, redness, uneven texture, and unwanted hair without the downtime of surgery. Dr. Kami Parsa’s Beverly Hills practice offers several of these technologies, each selected for the patient’s skin type and goals, with the aim of results that look natural rather than overdone. Patients from Santa Monica, Century City, and across Los Angeles come to the practice for minimally invasive treatments guided by a physician who understands both the skin and the eye.
Laser and light treatments near the face carry a specific risk to the eyes, and Dr. Parsa’s training is rooted in ophthalmology. Before specializing in eyelid and orbital surgery, he completed his ophthalmology residency at USC’s Doheny Eye Institute and presented research at the annual meetings of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Today he lectures on contemporary concepts and techniques in oculoplastic surgery. That background shapes how he plans light-based treatment around the eyes, including eye protection and the areas that should not be treated at all.
“Light-based treatments work beautifully on the skin, but the eye does not forgive mistakes. Protecting it comes first, and then we choose the setting that fits the skin in front of us.” — Dr. Kami Parsa
Laser and Light Treatments Available
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacials
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target brown sun spots and visible redness, such as broken capillaries and some types of rosacea. It can also improve overall skin tone and mild texture changes, with little downtime. Several sessions are often recommended. IPL works best on lighter skin that is not tanned, since darker or recently tanned skin has a higher risk of burns and pigment changes. Learn more about Lumecca IPL treatments.
Non-Ablative Fractional Resurfacing
Non-ablative fractional lasers, such as Palomar’s fractional handpiece, deliver columns of light energy beneath the skin surface while leaving the surface intact. This stimulates collagen and gradually improves fine lines, texture, pigmentation, and some acne scars. A series of treatments is usually needed, with less downtime than ablative lasers. Melasma can respond, but it may also worsen with heat-based treatments, so it requires a cautious, individualized plan.
Laser Hair Reduction
The practice uses Palomar laser technology to reduce unwanted hair on areas such as the upper lip, underarms, bikini line, back, and legs. The laser targets hair in its active growth phase, so multiple sessions are needed for lasting reduction. Results depend on hair color and skin tone, and light blond, gray, or red hair responds poorly. Laser hair reduction is not performed on the eyebrows or near the eyes, where the laser can damage the eye.
For deeper wrinkles or skin laxity around the eyes, CO2 laser resurfacing or radiofrequency microneedling may be more effective.
What to Expect and Possible Risks
Treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin type, sun exposure, medications, and goals. During treatment, the eyes are protected with appropriate shields or goggles. Most patients resume normal activities the same day after IPL or laser hair reduction, while fractional resurfacing may cause a few days of redness and swelling. Daily sun protection before and after treatment is essential.
Possible side effects include redness, swelling, temporary darkening of treated spots, blistering, and changes in skin color, particularly in darker or tanned skin. Contact the office if you develop blisters, significant pain, or signs of infection. If you notice eye pain, light sensitivity, or any change in vision after treatment near the face, seek urgent medical care.

Go To TopNot every treatment suits every skin tone. IPL and some lasers carry a higher risk of burns and pigment changes in darker or tanned skin, while other options may be better suited. Settings and treatment choice are customized after evaluating your skin, and alternatives such as chemical peels may be recommended.
Go To TopIt depends on the treatment. IPL often shows improvement in spots and redness after one or two sessions, while fractional resurfacing and laser hair reduction require a series of treatments for full results.
Go To TopMost patients resume regular activities the same day. We provide thorough post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and comfort.
Go To TopLaser and light energy can seriously injure the eye, so protective shields or goggles are always used and some areas close to the eye are not treated with certain devices. Dr. Parsa’s training in ophthalmology guides how treatment is planned around the eyes. For the delicate eyelid skin itself, he may recommend the Butterfly Lift™.
