The Details Behind a Refined, Natural Transformation With a Micro Laser Peel

A Micro Laser Peel is a light-to-medium-depth skin resurfacing treatment that removes the topmost layers of damaged skin with laser precision. Unlike chemical peels or microdermabrasion, it targets deeper imperfections while preserving surrounding tissue, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin. Using an erbium laser, the Micro Laser Peel vaporizes fine lines, rough texture, and pigmentation irregularities, revealing fresh, healthy skin beneath. Recovery is typically fast, with visible improvement after just one session.

A Micro Laser Peel can address:

  • Fine lines and mild wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Mild acne scars or enlarged pores
  • Dull or rough skin

Micro Laser Peel Recovery and Results

Redness and mild peeling may occur for two to four days after treatment. As the skin heals, smoother, healthier layers emerge with a brighter tone and improved texture.

Results continue to improve over several weeks as collagen rebuilds beneath the surface. Many patients schedule Micro Laser Peels seasonally or annually to maintain their results and keep their skin looking refreshed and youthful.

Tailored Techniques for Unique Results

Depending on your goals and desired downtime, several variations can be customized:

  • Light Micro Laser Peel: Minimal downtime for subtle brightening and texture refinement.
  • Medium Micro Laser Peel: Ideal for moderate wrinkles and pigmentation.
  • Combined Resurfacing: Used with deeper laser passes or regenerative therapies for advanced rejuvenation.

Additional Ways to Refine and Restore

  • Laser Skin Resurfacing: A deeper treatment for more advanced aging or scarring.

  • Microneedling with RF: Stimulates collagen and tightens skin with minimal downtime.

  • Chemical Peels: Improve tone and texture with a variety of formulas.

  • Laser Coring: Precisely removes deeper scars and wrinkles while encouraging new tissue formation.
