as young as I feel!”

Answers to your Questions
What is the MicroLaserPeel?
It is an intra-epidermal laser peel that
precisely ablates the outermost layers of the skin.
The procedure is individually tailored to the nature
of the condition to be corrected.
Skin conditions such as: wrinkles, scars, acne scars,
keratoses, or pigmentary problems have been very
successfully treated with a MicroLaserPeel.
Who Should Consider a MicroLaserPeel?
If you are looking for more than microdermabrasion
or light chemical peels, and have little time for a
prolonged healing process, then the MicroLaserPeel
was designed for you.
How is the MicroLaserPeel different from
Microdermabrasion?
Generally, microdermabrasion only removes the
stratum corneum (10 microns).
The MicroLaserPeel is a partial- to-full epidermal
peel (20-50 microns) and is performed with topical
anesthetic. Because this procedure ablates deeper
into the epidermis, it is the perfect step between
microdermabrasion and full skin resurfacing.
How many MicroLaserPeels can be done?
Typically, the procedure is repeated 2-4 times, spaced
6-8 weeks apart, but many peels may be done to
achieve the desired result.
What
can you
expect?
You will
experience
smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with a
significant, immediate change in skin texture and
tightness as compared to microdermabrasion.
How long
is the
healing
process?
Healing
takes 3-4
days. The
procedure
can be performed on a Thursday or Friday, so you
can return to work the following Monday. Symptoms
immediately following the procedure resemble a
sunburn, with minor sloughing on the second day.
Redness will begin to fade by the third day, and be
easily covered by makeup on the fourth day.
