Uncover Smoother, Fresher Skin with a Gentle Laser Resurfacing Treatment
Let go of surface imperfections and early signs of aging with a skin-refreshing solution. Ideal for those looking to refresh their complexion and address multiple surface-level concerns in a single treatment, this resurfacing treatment rejuvenates the upper layers to improve texture, tone, pore visibility, and overall skin quality. Fully customizable, this advanced laser approach delivers impressive results across the face, neck, and chest by targeting superficial signs of aging with precision and care.
How Gentle Resurfacing Supports Skin Renewal
This advanced ablative treatment works by precisely removing the outermost layers of the skin to reveal a smoother, healthier surface underneath. As the skin sheds micro-thin layers, controlled heat reaches the dermis to stimulate fresh collagen production. Each session is tailored to your unique skin type, goals, and preferred downtime. Post-treatment, the area may feel similar to a mild sunburn, with natural exfoliation occurring in the days that follow. As one of our most refined resurfacing options, this treatment offers visible results with minimal disruption to your routine and is trusted by clients across Calgary and surrounding areas.
Preparing for Your Treatment
To ensure a safe and successful Microlaser Peel, a few simple steps can help you feel confident and ready when you arrive.
Before You Arrive
- Please complete your Health History and Intake Form before your appointment. If that’s not possible, kindly arrive 15 minutes early so we can assist you in the clinic.
- Enjoy a light meal or snack about 30 to 60 minutes before your visit.
- Arrive with clean skin; makeup should be entirely removed.
- Apply medical-grade SPF 50 daily to the treatment area for at least 4 to 6 weeks prior.
- If you have a history of cold sores, let us know in advance so we can prescribe Valtrex to help prevent a flare-up.
What to Avoid
To protect your skin and ensure optimal results, please avoid the following before your treatment:
- Retinol and active exfoliants for 5 to 7 days
- Neuromodulator treatments for at least 2 weeks
- Dermal fillers for at least 4 weeks
- Direct sun exposure for 4 to 6 weeks
- All forms of tanning, including spray and self-tanners, for 4 to 6 weeks (Please note: if you have an active tan at the time of your appointment, we may need to reschedule for your safety)
- Oral isotretinoin (Accutane) must be discontinued for at least 6 months.
- For safety reasons, we are unable to perform this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Aftercare & Recovery
Once your resurfacing session is complete, your skin begins its natural renewal process. With the proper post-treatment care, you’ll be on track to revealing a smoother, more luminous complexion in just a few days.
Downtime
- Expect a recovery period of 3 to 5 days.
- Redness, warmth, and mild swelling are normal immediately after treatment and typically subside within 24 hours.
- As healing progresses, you may experience sloughing, flaking, or dryness. This is your skin naturally exfoliating.
Post-Treatment Care
- Apply cool (not cold or iced) compresses to ease any discomfort.
- Gently cleanse the skin and keep the treated area clean and hydrated.
What to Avoid
To support healing and protect your results, please avoid the following for at least one week:
- Strenuous exercise or activities that cause heavy sweating for 24 hours
- Hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours
- Direct sun exposure
- Active skincare products, such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and physical exfoliants
- Be diligent about applying medical-grade SPF daily throughout the full treatment course.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
- For optimal results, a series of three treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended.
- A personalized maintenance schedule, often one treatment annually, helps preserve results and sustain your skin’s healthy glow.
