What Is MicroLaserPeel?

MicroLaserPeel is a minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses an erbium laser to remove the outermost layers of damaged skin. It effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin texture by stimulating new cell growth and collagen production. The procedure is precise and allows for customized treatment depths based on skin concerns. Often called the “weekend peel,” it has a short recovery time of 3-7 days, making it a convenient option for those seeking smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated skin without extended downtime.

MicroLaserPeel Treats…

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Pigmentation irregularities (e.g., freckles)
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scars and minor surface scars
  • Crepey skin on the face, neck, chest, and hands
  • General dullness and lack of skin radiance

How Does MicroLaserPeel Work?

MicroLaserPeel uses an erbium laser that emits a precise wavelength (2940 nm) to target and vaporize the outermost layers of the skin. This process removes damaged cells responsible for fine lines, pigmentation, and rough texture.

The laser’s energy heats the skin, stimulating collagen production in the underlying layers, which promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This dual effect of resurfacing and collagen stimulation produces smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Benefits:

  • Precise control over treatment depth for customized results
  • Minimal discomfort with the use of topical anesthetics
  • Short recovery time (3-7 days), often called the “weekend peel”
  • Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin improvement
  • Effective on multiple skin areas: face, neck, chest, and hands
  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven texture
  • Suitable for various skin types with adjustable treatment intensity
  • Provides noticeable results after just one session

Procedure

During a MicroLaserPeel, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort. The laser handpiece is positioned over the treatment area, and a computer-guided scanner moves the laser beam across your skin. The laser removes the outermost layers, targeting damaged cells while stimulating collagen production. The procedure typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area treated. Afterward, you might notice a “frosty” appearance, which indicates the dehydrated skin that will peel away over the next few days.

Downtime

After a MicroLaserPeel, you may experience redness, mild swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. Your skin will initially have a “frosty” appearance, which is normal as the dehydrated skin begins to peel. Recovery typically lasts 3 to 4 days, during which your skin will gradually heal. You can expect some peeling for a few days, and it’s recommended to avoid sun exposure during that period. It’s possible to resume daily activities within a few days.

Results

You will start to see the results of a MicroLaserPeel within 3 to 5 days after the treatment, as the outer layer of skin peels away, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. The full effects, including improved texture and reduced fine lines, become more noticeable as your skin continues to heal. The final results can last several months, especially if you maintain a proper skincare routine and protect your skin from the sun.
