What is the MicroLaserPeel?
It is a minimal to full epidermal laser peel that precisely removes the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is individually tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected: wrinkles, scars, laxity, keratoses, or pigmentation problems.
Who should consider a MicroLaserPeel?
The patient looking for better results than microdermabrasion or lighter chemical peels can offer, yet, still has little time for the healing process.
How is the MicroLaserPeel different from Microdermabrasion?
Generally, microdermabrasion only removes the outer layer (stratum corneum, 10-15 microns) of the skin. Patients may become dissatisfied when the perceived results do not equal expense and with the number of procedures required.
The MicroLaserPeel is a minimal to full epidermal peel (20-50 microns). Because this procedure goes deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and deeper peels.
How often does a MicroLaserPeel need to be done?
One procedure could be sufficient for at least 6 to 12 months, but additional procedures can be performed as required. A package of three to four treatments may be best for you. Your physician will determine what is necessary.
What can the Patient expect?
Smoother, healther, more vibrant skin. You will notice a significant and immediate change in skin texture and tightness when compared to microdermabraision.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Do I have to wear a bandage after the procedure?
A topical anesthetic will be applied 30-45 minutes before the procedure. No! Your physician will prescribe an antibacterial ointment that is used as a barrier to keep the air away from your skin while you grow new epithelium. You will use this ointment for 1-2 days then switch to a moisturizer.
