Laser Resurfacing: Your Guide to Micro Laser Peels
Are Micro Laser Peels Right For You?
The micro laser peel treatment is an outpatient procedure and can be performed in your surgeon’s office. A micro laser peel can remove up to 50 microns of aged and sun-damaged tissue. The micro laser peel uses a laser that is sent as short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin. This process removes unwanted, damaged skin in a very precise manner one layer at a time. Laser resurfacing is performed with local or topical anesthesia.
The micro laser peel can target undesired skin conditions such as wrinkles, scars, acne scars, skin laxity, keratosis, and hyperpigmentation with minimal downtime.
Compared to other treatments, patients treated with a micro laser peel heal in a relatively short time. This is because laser resurfacing produces only minimal tissue damage resulting in a less intense recovery as well as a shorter duration of post-operative swelling.
Some temporary side effects include peeling and flaking, which generally occurs 48 – 72 hours after the micro laser peel. The procedure can be repeated after two months.
