A micro laser peel is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to improve the skin’s texture and appearance. It is a milder form of laser resurfacing compared to more aggressive treatments like deep laser resurfacing or ablative laser procedures.
During a micro laser peel, a laser device is used to precisely remove the outermost layers of the skin. The depth of the peel can vary depending on the specific goals and needs of the patient, but typically ranges from 10 to 50 micrometers. This controlled removal of damaged skin promotes the growth of healthier, more youthful skin.
The procedure can be done on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, hands, or chest. It is commonly used to address skin concerns such as fine lines, mild wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, rough texture, and mild acne scars.
By removing the damaged outer layers of the skin, the procedure promotes the growth of fresh, healthier skin, resulting in a smoother and more even complexion.
The controlled injury caused by the laser peel triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to an increase in collagen production. Collagen helps to enhance skin elasticity, firmness, and overall youthfulness.
Compared to more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments, the micro laser peel typically requires less downtime and recovery. Most patients experience a few days of redness, mild swelling, and peeling, similar to a sunburn-like effect.
The depth of the peel can be adjusted based on individual needs and desired results. The laser can be precisely calibrated to target specific skin concerns or to achieve a more superficial peel.
