The MicroLaserPeel or “weekend” skin peel addresses conditions associated with sun damage and aging.
As compared with microdermabrasion or light chemical peels, a MicroLaserPeel is a deeper treatment that precisely removes the outermost layers of skin, and treats wrinkles, scars, acne scars, keratoses, and irregular pigmentation.
The treatment uses topical anesthesia in the office, and typically is repeated 2 to 4 times, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.
Healing takes 3 to 4 days and resembles a sunburn with redness beginning to fade by the third day, and can be covered with makeup on the fourth day. Patients experience smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with a significant immediate change in skin texture and tightness. A MicroLaserPeel is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and more aggressive full laser resurfacing.
