You will experience smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with a significant, immediate change in skin texture and tightness as compared to microdermabrasion. The “weekend” skin peel, the MicroLaserPeel, treats skin conditions associated with aging and an active lifestyle. Improvements are seen in just a few days. Skin conditions such as: wrinkles, scars, acne scars, keratoses, or pigmentary problems have been very successfully treated with a MicroLaserPeel.
Pigment changes can be improved with minimal downtime. Two to four sessions might be necessary.
Age is not a factor in the final outcome.
The procedure has minimal downtime and is equally effective in both men and women.
What can I expect? You will experience smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with a significant, immediate change in skin texture and tightness as compared to microdermabrasion.
Procedure - how is it different than microdermabrasion? Generally, microdermabrasion only removes the stratum corneum (10 microns). The MicroLaserPeel is a partial-to-full epidermal peel (20-50 microns) and is performed with topical anesthetic. Because this procedure ablates deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and full skin resurfacing.
Duration: Less than one hour
Anesthesia: No anesthetic is required for 10 micron peels. Topical anesthetic might be necessary if deeper peels are attempted)
Hospital stay: Outpatient
How many microlaserpeels can be done? Typically, the procedure is repeated 2-4 times, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, but many peels may be done to achieve the desired result.
Recovery: At the most one week before returning to work.
