Microlaser and Nanolaser Peel

MicroLaser Peel and NanoLaser Peel are both skin resurfacing treatments that use fractional laser technology to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance. 

What is Micro Laser Peel? 

  • The MicroLaser Peel (MPL) is an ablative laser treatment that removes the outermost layers of the skin (epidermis) to improve skin texture, clarity, and overall appearance. 

How does it work? 

  • The MPL uses a scanned, fractionated CO2 or Erbium laser to deliver controlled energy to the skin. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the skin, creating a precise, shallow removal of damaged skin cells.
  • The depth of the peel can be adjusted, allowing the provider to tailor the treatment to individual skin concerns.

What does Micro Laser Peel treat? 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and pigmentation issues
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Minor acne scars
  • Skin texture irregularities

What are the benefits of doing MIcro Laser Peel? 

  1. Customizable Treatment:

  2. Minimal Downtime: While it’s an ablative treatment, the downtime is generally minimal (around 3-5 days), with skin peeling and redness typically occurring in the days following the treatment.

  3. Improved Texture: Results can include smoother, more even skin with a reduction in fine lines, age spots, and rough skin texture.
  4. Collagen Stimulation: The treatment stimulates collagen production, improving skin tone and texture over time.

Treatment Procedure:

  1. Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin for about 30-45 minutes before the procedure to reduce discomfort.
  2. Laser Application: The laser is passed over the skin in controlled layers, removing damaged skin and stimulating the production of new, healthy skin cells.
  3. Duration: The procedure typically lasts around 30-45 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.

Aftercare:

  • Redness and Swelling: Some redness and swelling may occur immediately after the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn.
  • Peeling: Light peeling or flaking of the skin typically begins within 1-2 days after the treatment and can last for up to 5-7 days.
  • Moisturization and Sunscreen: It’s important to use a gentle moisturizer and high-SPF sunscreen to protect the healing skin and prevent further damage.
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: For the best results and to avoid complications, avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed.

What is Nano Laser Peel?

  • The NanoLaser Peel is a non-ablative, superficial laser treatment that targets the outermost layer of skin (epidermis). It’s less invasive than the MicroLaser Peel and is designed to treat more surface-level skin concerns, such as mild discoloration, rough texture, and general skin rejuvenation.

What does it treat?

  • Superficial sun damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rough texture
  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • Mild pigmentation irregularities
  • Enlarged pores

Benefits of the NanoLaser Peel:

  1. Quick Recovery
  2. Improved Skin Appearance:
  3. Non-Ablative Treatment
  4. No Pain

Aftercare:

  • Redness and Sensitivity
  • Moisturization
  • Sunscreen Protection
  • No Peeling

Which Peel Should You Choose?

  • MicroLaser Peel is best for individuals seeking more dramatic results, such as those with significant sun damagedeeper wrinkles, or acne scars. It’s an excellent option for those looking for more intense skin resurfacing and who are willing to tolerate some downtime (3-7 days).
  • NanoLaser Peel is better suited for those looking for a gentler treatment with minimal downtime. It’s ideal for those wanting to improve skin tone, texture, and radiance without the need for extended recovery. If you’re concerned with fine linessun spots, or dull skin, the NanoLaser Peel might be the best option.
