What Is MicroLaser Peel?
MicroLaser Peel is the perfect tool for removing mild to deep wrinkles that are the result of photoaging. The treatment strips away light and mild wrinkles easily, quickly with automated scanning and large coverage area. The depth of the treatment is customizable up to 50um depending on the severity of the wrinkle with the addition of coagulation as an independent setting to improve the turgor of the skin. Depending on the depth of the treatment, patients can typically wear makeup within 2 – 4 days of the treatment.
How Does the Microlaser Work?
Utilizing an erbium scanning laser, a MicroLaser peel vaporizes skin to a desired depth. The body recognizes this as a wound and immediately begins to create new skin. Of course, the newly generated skin will look far better than the old skin. We use a topical anesthetic to make the procedure very tolerable.

The Microlaser Peel Treatment Process
- Step 1 Consultation
We choose the depth of the peel based on your specific skin and how much downtime you can tolerate. - Step 2 Prep the Skin
One of our trained providers cleans the skin and applies a numbing cream to the treatment area for approximately 45 minutes for patient comfort. - Step 3 Treat the Damaged Skin
Your provider positions the predetermined depth of the MicroLaser Peel. Then they positions the laser hand piece above the skin and holds it in place as the computer-guided scanner moves the laser beam around the treatment area. - Step 4 Discuss Post Care
Once the treatment is done, we apply a light dressing (such as Aquaphor) to keep the skin moist. This will be used for 2-7 days, depending on the depth of the peel. Post care instructions will be given and thoroughly explained.
