Microlaser Peel

Microlaser Peel off the signs of time. For those looking to check a few things off their skin to-do list, Microlaser Peels rejuvenate the skin on the surface to address superficial concerns such as texture, tone, pores, early aging, and overall skin quality. Laser peels are completely customizable and provide impressive results in the reduction of visible aging to the face, neck, and chest.

Get The Facts

The Microlaser Peel is an ablative laser treatment using laser technology to remove the surface of the epidermis to reveal the healthy skin underneath. By removing micro-thin layers, heat penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis. Peels can be customized depending on the client’s skin concerns, age, and desired downtime. After treatment, the skin will feel similar to a sunburn and the damaged skin will naturally exfoliate off the following week, revealing the new, healthier skin underneath. This is our least aggressive of the ablative laser treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does a Microlaser Peel hurt?

Most clients rate this treatment a 3/10 on the pain scale. Before the treatment, we provide a topical numbing agent which makes the treatment comfortable by reducing the feelings of heat and irritation.

+ How many Microlaser Peels will I need to see results?

Many people see results after their first treatment, however, we recommend 3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results.

+ What is the difference between Microlaser Peel and Custom Resurfacing?

A Microlaser Peel is a gentle laser-assisted skin peel for patients seeking a superficial rejuvenation of the full face with only a few days of downtime. A custom resurfacing is a more ablative and deeper laser treatment that can target deep and superficial skin concerns, which leads to a longer downtime.

+ How long do the results of a Microlaser Peel last?

The results of a Microlaser Peel can last for several months (3 months), depending on various factors such as individual skin characteristics, sun exposure, skincare routine, and lifestyle habits. Maintaining a good skincare regimen and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure can help prolong the results.

+ Can Microlaser Peel be performed on all skin types?

Microlaser Peel can be performed on a wide range of skin types, but the settings and depth of the treatment may be adjusted based on your skin’s characteristics. It is essential to consult with a qualified professional who can assess your skin and determine the best approach.

Microlaser Peels are effective in addressing a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities.
