MicroLaserPeel

The MicroLaserPeel offers revolutionary technology providing an intra-epidermal laser peel that ablates the outermost layers of the skin. This “weekend” skin peel is perfect for people who want to look younger but aren't quite ready for surgery. Results can be seen in a matter of days. Skin conditions such as: wrinkles, scars, acne scars, keratoses (brown age spots), or pigmentary problems have been successfully treated with MicroLaserPeel. Typically, the procedure is repeated 2-4 times, spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Healing takes 3-4 days. If the procedure is performed on a Thursday or Friday, you can return to work on Monday. This process is more aggressive than microdermabrasion or light chemical peels, and has a more prolonged healing process. For reference, a microdermabrasion removes the top layer of skin, the stratum corneum (10 microns). The depth of the MicroLaserPeel can be adjusted from 20 to 50 microns and is sometimes performed with a supercooling mechanism for anesthetic effect.. It is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and full skin resurfacing.
